This may belong in "Improvement Requests", but I thought I'd post here in case I was missing how to enable an already-existing feature.

I've got a couple of groups that I open regularly via the "enter nickname/Shift+Enter" sequence. ve also got the bookmarks toolbar enabled, and those "Groups" are also represented by folders on that toolbar (so that I can easily access the individual URLs).

What was really useful in Firefox was that a middle-button click on a "bookmarks toolbar" folder opened all the pages in that folder -- exactly the same as if I'd created those URLs as a "group"; assigned the group a nickname; and opened them with "enter name/Shift+Enter".

Is there a simple way to associate "middle click on toolbar folder" with "open all URLs in folder"?

Thanks for any help.

Sorry, there's no way to do that right now. There's a workaround if you'd like to mouse click you're groups from a menu, but you have to add their reference in menus & macros. KM can't automatically write to the macros & menus files, so you'll have to add the reference for each new group. Follow the example below which lists 5 groups. The $name is your saved layer group name or in your case the folder nickname:


In macros

albums{
$name = "albums"; &ChkGroup;
}
news{
$name = "news"; &ChkGroup;
}
tennis{
$name = "tennis"; &ChkGroup;
}
apps{
$name = "apps"; &ChkGroup;
}
kmeleon{
$name = "kmeleon"; &ChkGroup;
}


In menus replace layers() with your group names:

&Groups{
macros(SaveAsGroup, Save Layers As Group...\tCtrl+Alt+G)
macros(URLToGroup, Add This Layer To Group...)
macros(LayersToGroup, Add These Layers To Group...)
-
macros(SavedGroups, Saved Groups...\tAlt+Shift+Enter)
macros(GroupOnly, Open Group Only...\tShift+Enter)
macros(OpenGroup, Open Group Next To Current...\tAlt+Enter)
macros(DeleteGroup, Delete Group...)
-
macros(news)
macros(tennis)
macros(apps, freeware)
macros(kmeleon)
macros(albums)
}

I second that, I also missed this feature, not only on the bookmarks toolbar, also in the bookmarks config-screen. There should be a right-click option to open all bookmarks of a folder at once, if wished.

I think there isn't an 'easy way' to associate it with a middle click (I would prefere a right-click btw). Think this option has to be added into the toolbar.dll and/or bookmarks.dll-plugins. But, imo it shouldn't be a big issue for the devs to implant it.

jsnj - thanks; I'll take a deep breath and try the macros work-round -- many thanks from this non-programmer for the detailed description!

It would be a useful feature, though -- either middle click or, as sensai suggests, at least a right-click option to open all.

Cheers,

Thought I'd post a follow-up to say "thanks" to jsnj, as the macro solution worked fine for me.

I'd still *love* to be able to associate a button-click with the folders on the bookmarks toolbar, but having a one-click in the "Groups" menu is a big help!

Cheers, and thanks again.
