      I was talking about a menu, not using the sidebar.

      Unfortnately we can't paste buttons into the new forum - if you don't want to edit the toolbar file by hand you can use Ian's (nontroppo's) button maker as linked above. For "the action as plain text", write

      Show Popup Menu, "Internal Bookmark Folder", 2

      For the title, enter whatever the title of the folder is. I wouldn't bother with an icon, but if you want there should be a folder icon in that list somewhere.

        Just tried to set keyboard shortcut and it doesn't work.
        How is it supposed to work?

        What is "Internal Bookmark Folder" and how enable it?

          Focus previous widget & Focus panel, "bookmarks" & Insert, "1_ " & Backspace & Delay, 500 & Select all & Delete & Delay, 200 & Focus next widget & Open item & Focus page

          Thank you for your effort, but is this a joke "Select all & Delete" (this will delete all bookmarks). Don't worry I made a backup of my bookmarks prior.

            Is this correct, because it doesn't work (I can't click on it):
            Button3, "OK"="Show popup menu, "Internal Bookmark Folder", 2, "OK", "Folder""

            I have tried replacing "2" with my folder ID (25), but it's still greyout.

              @torrente, no it won't delete your bookmarks. "Select all & delete" works in text box, it needed for deleting text in the bookmarks bar's Search field (to focus specified subfolder in the bookmarks manager). I tested my button before publication and it worked every time!

                Sorry, I don't have bookmarks bar's Search field, so it deleted my bookmarks, LOL.

                  I'm more interested in this "Internal Bookmark Folder" command, but after numerous tries I still can't make it work.

                      SOLVED: Thank you @sgunhouse, your method works great.

                      I was copying and pasting (same) adr file between Opera 12 and 10, but something went wrong with ID's. Now is OK.

                      @everyone
                      Just replace "2" with your folder ID (my is 32) which you can find in your bookmarks.adr (Open in Notepad), so in your toolbar.ini it should look like this:

                      Button2, "OK"=Show popup menu, "Internal Bookmark Folder", 32

                        You have deleted the search field from bookmarks sidebar panel? This is a pretty non-standard configuration. You need to drag it back (as it enabled by default). Also, you can replace "select all & delete" with "clear" command, so it wont affect your bookmarks even theorically!

                        Ps: i dont think that internal bookmarks menu would work!

                          P.p.s i think that my method is still more preferable because you have a far less limiations in the bookmarks sidebar when it's compared with menu.

                            For the record. you can see "Internal Bookmark Folder" mentioned in the button maker dropdown - but choosing that always adds a ", 1" which would make it show the root folder (all bookmarks) Or you can see it used (with Include rather than Submenu) in the default menu file standard_menu.ini. The "32" seems strange there unless it's not actually your first folder - by default I think Trash is first, but on my system I dragged Trash to the end years ago.
