How do I add a bookmark to a specific folder in my bookmarks in Opera beta 30?

I have found two extensions (see below) that allow me to navigate through my bookmark folder structure in order to add a new bookmark.
However, they both have terrible interfaces and present you with a completely flat representation of your bookmark folder structure, making it very hard to see what is what.Is there really no way to do this in Opera itself?

have you tried side bar?
There are couple of bookmarks extensions, one of them is mine, V7 Bookmarks
here's quick vid how can you save bookmarks, from right-click menu or dragging links onto it... anywhere on bookmarks tree -

Excellent, thanks! I have just installed your extension "V7 Bookmarks" and it works great.
I’m still amazed at how the Opera development team have completely destroyed normal bookmark functionality in the latest versions of Opera. Pressing Ctrl+D is completely broken, but it's as if they haven’t even noticed. I’m going to disable the shortcut, as I never want to see that confusing dialogue that pops up when you press Ctrl+D again.

This is absurd! It should be so easy to simply bookmark a page and choose which folder you want it to appear in. This used to work in Opera! Now I only see a bunch of folders that are NOT mine even though the title is "My Folders." Who knows where Opera saves the bookmark to - I have not been able to figure out where. I ditched Chrome in favor of Opera because it is lighter, but now I cannot save any new bookmarks. I will try the suggestions above but it is so absurd that the Opera developers cannot include a functional bookmark option in the latest versions!

I gave up on Opera a few months ago, and am back on Chrome. The new Opera is just too minimalistic and full of holes. Bookmarks are basic functionality guys!

Have you checked in the "bookmarks bar" folder?

Bookmarks in Opera are very functional. Just use the heart button to add them and the bookmarks manager to access/manage them.

The last time I gave Opera a try with a few years ago, I just recently gave it another shot since it has VPN and ad blocker. But for the life of me, how do you easily create a bookmark in a folder of your choice and with the URL of your choice??? I went to "Show all bookmarks" and selected the folder but there is apparently no way to create a bookmark. This is mind-bogglingly absurd!

Thanks for the response but that's what I want to avoid doing. Having to actually load a page is an extra step that should be unnecessary. What if I have a file containing a list of URLs? For each URL, I would have to copy the URL, load the page, click on the heart icon, select folder, etc. VERY inefficient. Instead, you should be able to create a new bookmark in the "Show All Bookmarks", directly in the folder of choice. Not being able to do that is very big oversight IMO.
