What's the trick to put bookmarks in a folder? When dragging and dropping the bookmark, it always goes above or below the folder, not in it.

I have "enable support for Netscape bookmark' enabled.

Just hold over the name of the folder, it will open or expand (very little if empty) and you'll be able to drop it there. If the folder is empty, you'll notice that you are going to drop inside it, also, because the "marker" gets indented.

I've done it that way a thousand times in Firefox, but for some reason that wasn't working in KM earlier, but it is now. Who knows.
Thanks

There is no need to drag and drop to begin with.
You get offered the option to place the bookmark in the folder of your choice, during bookmarking.
It should be very hard to miss the chosen folder.
See pic below:

Insted of fighting with a newly created bookmark folder, close edit mode create one bookmark there then reopen edit mode and sort the rest.

@dorian:
if not too much work, it would IMO be much handier to have that "add bookmark here" line on top instead of bottom. Not all folders have so little entries :cool:

The above instructions are correct, of course, but sometimes I've had to hold the bookmark over the destination folder a long time to get it to expand; sometimes it refuses to do so. If the folder is already expanded, moving a bookmark in there is still a hit or miss proposition. It's not really a fault of KM, however, because I've experienced the same behavior in Firefox (and in Internet Explorer).

But there's another approach: Cut the bookmark with Ctrl X, then highlight the destination folder with the mouse and paste the bookmark there with Ctrl V. BTW, Cut, Copy and Paste are missing from the bookmark's context menu, at least in KM75.

It would be nice to be able to manage bookmarks directly in the bookmarks toolbar, which is possible in Firefox and even in Internet Explorer.

I was working with bookmarks I already have.

OK glad it wasn't just me. Thanks for the cut/paste tip. I'll try that next time.
