How to select multiple bookmarks for mangement?

Hi all, I wonder if it's possible to select multiple bookmarks in Opera?

So I just imported my bookmarks from Chrome.

There's a folder called Bookmarks Bar (Chrome).

Naturally, I want these bookmarks to be in the Opera bookmarks bar.

But I don't see any way to select them all and move to the Bookmarks Bar folder. Selecting with Shift, or Cmd, or by mouse doesn't select multiple bookmark.

Moving them one by one would be a great waste of time.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for any help!

@zevrix You should be able to do that in the Bookmarks manager page, opera://bookmarks.

@leocg Thanks for the info!

Yes, I actually also figured it out by a sheer chance...

It looks like Opera's bookmark management needs some work:

-The Bookmarks menu opens the popup panel with very limited management abilities;

-However, the contextual Bookmark menu of the bookmarks bar opens the full Bookmarks page (the one that you mentioned)

-Then, if the user with a bit of luck discovers and understands Workspaces, they find out that there's a choice to always use the full page, in which case both Bookmarks menu and the contextual menu will open the full page.

In addition, the selection of multiple items is still implemented in a non-standard way: user has to first discover, then click a check mark at the far end of each bookmark. There's no way to select multiple items at once by selecting first and last item of the desired group while holding shift.

I'll submit a feature request for better bookmark management on an appropriate forum.

Thanks again for your help.
