ok i see... there's indeed a link that opens full Bookmarks view at the bottom of the panel... i didn't noticed it as I only checked the 3-dot menu at the top.

however, it still don't see any way to select multiple bookmarks in the full view in the following way:

select the first desired bookmark > hold shift > select the last desired bookmark to select at once all bookmarks between the first and last selection (just like you select files in the Finder or bookmarks in other browsers).

you'll need to select each bookmark separately to add them to the selection of multiple bookmarks.

or am I missing something?

Bookmark management should be improved by adding at least these two options:

-The bookmarks popup panel needs to have a option to open the full page Bookmarks - the real bookmarks manager. Otherwise, many users will never discover that Opera actually has the real bookmarks manager: by default, there's no obvious way to access it.

-The full page Bookmarks manager must have a standard way of selecting multiple bookmarks. That is, just the way users select multiple files in the Finder - or multiple bookmarks in any other browser, for that matter.

This will bring Opera yet closer to perfection.

@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.

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!
