Am I the only one who is irritated by the way Safari handles the display of bookmark folders in Save Bookmark dialog boxes? If you don't know what I'm referring to, click the plus sign next to the location bar to add a bookmark for the site currently viewed. If you look in the menu which is provided to allow the user to save to a specific location, you'll see that folders and subfolders are listed all in that single menu. Why am I complaining about this arrangement? Well, if you have a lot of bookmark folders - and especially if you have a lot of nested bookmark folders - the list will be huge. It takes me a long time to scroll and navigate to the folder I want, which defeats the purpose of the dialog. My suggested remedy is simply that the nested folders should be displayed as submenus instead. Does anyone concur?

Well, I guess if you have a lot of folders, a column view would be more appropriate than the popup. However, I only have around 10 total so it isnt that big of a problem for me.
