Hey guys, I 've been using safari solely for quite some time after deciding to abandon my beloved opera (only for reasons of cross device bookmark syncing…) and I am having a hard time getting the grip of the bookmarks. Apple's system is ok, but it's a bit quirky, I like the fact that it's not bloated as in say firefox, but it could use some improvements.

Ok, so here's where I am having a hard time:

On the left sidebar there are collections and bookmarks. Why can't I click on bookmarks so they appear on the right side category (making them easier to re-arrange) as I can with bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks menu.

What on earth is the point of having the bookmarks menu and the Bookmarks separate, shouldn't bookmarks appear on the menu for easy access, which the point in having a separate category as Bookmarks besides the Bookmarks menu which doesn't correspond to anything and can only be accessed by clicking the "book icon" on the toolbar…

As an aside I d like to ask if anyone of you knows any good safari add on /enhancer that will allow me to have icons on bookmark folders, and have the actual bookmarks appear with their signature icon of the left, I know there's glens (sp.?) which is pretty nice but doesn't do this.

Thanks!

I don't know what you mean by "why can't I click on bookmarks so they appear on the right side category" - you'll have to be more specific about what bookmarks you're referring to.

Safari's bookmarks design recognizes that there may be groups of bookmarks that a user will want to have on hand but does not necessarily want to see in the bookmarks menu at all times. If you don't like it just drag all your bookmarks into the bookmarks menu folder.

That seems like a fairly popular request, but I don't think anyone has an add-on to accomplish it.
