Managing Bookmarks

Bookmarks store the URLs of your favorite web sites so you do not have to type their address again when you want to access them. You can classify them by subject, category, etc. Your Mandrake Linux system already has some bookmark categories predefined which you can use as a guide to arrange yours. Selecting Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks from the browser's menu or pressing the Ctrl-B keys will open the bookmarks manager shown in Figure 7.4.

Bookmarks Manager Dialog

Bookmarks are arranged as a tree, with all operations taking place on the currently selected tree node. New Folder will create a new folder. Use folders to group bookmarks by subject, category, etc. New Separator will add a separating line below the current node. Properties... changes the current bookmark's properties (name, URL, etc.). Rename... changes the bookmark's displayed name. Delete removes the current bookmark.

Bookmarks can be exported to an HTML file. Select the Tools->Export sub-menu, enter the file name (bookmarks.html by default) of the exported bookmarks file and click on the Save button.

Bookmarks can also be imported from an HTML file. Select the Tools->Import sub-menu, enter the file name of the bookmarks file to import and click on the Open button.
