LQ bookmarks needs organising


I hope this is the right place to post. I finally got to export some bookmarks to LQ Bookmarks. They were organised into groups.

Now the bookmarks are simply a long list spread over 21 pages. You know the deal - about 10 items a page. No categories. The bookmark titles are fairly meaningless once the bookmarks are taken out of the groups so, if I was crazy enough to try this again, I'd have to write longer titles for each bookmark.

They are completely useless in that format but there seems to be no way to delete the lot, except one by one.

It seems I'll have to look at the Firefox Google thingummy.

What I was hoping to find was a folder tree similar to the one I have in my Firefox bookmarks. What I'd like as well, or instead, is a way to delete the lot in one hit.

You can organize your bookmarks using tags.

Thanks. I may do that. It has to be one by one, presumably, so it's unlikely to be worth the time involved.

I'd also have to get my head around organising things that way. I may have a subcategory for, say, Gentoo of "Installation" and a category of the same name for OpenOffice. So I'd need to use, instead, tags like GentooInstall and OOoInstall. I would also need to use more explicit names for the bookmarks.

To be honest it should be even more powerful than that. Tag them as "Gentoo Install" that creates 2 tags and you can then narrow things down to either Gentoo or Install or Gentoo & Install.

I don't want anything powerful (whatever that means) so much as convenient. I already know where to look under the folder tree arrangement. Swapping over to a completely new arrangement is probably not worth the trouble.
