      It would appear that the only way to do this is to display the Bookmarks Bar (temporarily), right click and create a new folder.

      If there is an easier way, please let me know.

      I don't understand why the extensions don't allow this.

        I think that's it. So if you'd rather a minimalist look, you can sort of toggle the bookmarks bar back with alt P (for settings) and then put check in show bookmarks bar. And then after you have your folder, alt. P, and take the check out. That's relatively painless 😉 There may be a bookmarks manager extension to create the folder, but the one I use doesn't do it.

          The (Chrookmarks)[https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrookmarks-chrome-bookma/kcdheengilgkagjehknnnofigbmlnnfj] extension allows it.

              Do you mean, you can create the folder in Chrookmarks? That link didn't work for me.

                I've tried Chrookmarks twice and there is no way I can see to create new folders.

                Yet the overview says

                • Create new folders

                • Open in current tab

                • Open in new tab etc.

                  NOTE: Use the "star" icon in the address bar to add bookmarks.


                To anyone who has used this extension, what "star" icon are they talking about?

                  The "Add Bookmark" extension has the star as it's icon.

                  https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/add-bookmark/?display=en

                  It puts a star on the right of the Address bar, and also if you right click on an empty place on a web page, you get a context menu with the star. Through either, you can create a bookmark, and place it in a folder. It's quite good. I like it. It's very intuitive and useful.

                  Still it doesn't create a folder, at least not as far as I can tell. No big deal though. To create the folder, I need to right click on the right side of the Personal Bookmarks bar at the end (in a free space), and choose Add Folder. Then I name the folder.

                    lem, I mistakingly thought the overview was referring to a native Opera "Star".

                    I do use the "Add Bookmark" extension. Works very well.

                    In any case, the folder creation is a minor issue. It can be done as mentioned above.

                    I pretty well now have Opera 21 customized exactly as I want. It's not that bad.

                    Thanks for your input again.

                      @browzer1: Right-click a folder in Chrookmarks. There will be the option Create New Folder in the context menu.

                        Yes it creates a new folder, but within the selected folder.

                        It does NOT create a new folder in Bookmarks.

                          Maybe I'm not getting right what you want... Chrookmarks does not create root-level folders, but it allows creating them anywhere below the two root-level ones, Other Bookmarks and Bookmark Bar. The latter is mapped to the standard bookmark bar, changes made via Chrookmarks are displayed on the standard bookmark bar immediately.
