Are there any plans to reintroduce a bookmarks menu? Any patches for it? While the page looks nifty for the editing, I really don't like getting an extra bookmark page into my history stack every time I want to go to a bookmark. In other news: Yay! Cut-and-paste! One of my main reasons to use other browsers is now gone! Thanks!

Not really. Although dpis will have a way of setting menu items someday, it's very unlikely it will be enough to make a good implementation from it. It is possible to make a dpi that uses a plain GTK+ interface for bookmarks (think of a dpi as an external program that communicates with dillo using the dpi protocol), but this probably would be an overkill for your problem.

One way to solve this is to make dpi:/bm/ URIs "phantom URIs". That is, to flag them and tell the stack manager to get rid of them once they're no longer displayed. This needs some thought though, because you may have more than one dillo window.

I think, if the dpi sticks to one bookmark file syntax, dillo should be able to read it - maybe even via a dpi call - and then *only* display it when - let's say - clicking the right mouse button on the bookmark icon.

Actually, in my quest to learn a bit of GTK, I modified the current bookmark server, so that it accepts one more command, which then will pop up a GTK-Gui. So far it only pops up some parts of the GTK tutorial :-) .... but it is kind of cool. The bm server itself returns a webpage that has a link which will fire up the GUI (just like the "modify" link). Alternatively, I modified dillo to directly fire up the bm-gui by pressing the middle mouse button on the bookmark icon (hey there are all three buttons used now ;-) ...)

Agreed. The way Dillo handle bookmarks nowadays is such a hassle that I usually end up just typing the url (whenever I can remember it). Editing bookmarks is quite unconvenient too, unfortunately. - Victor
