1054666 - Adding a bookmark should reuse existing bookmark instead of creating a new one

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Peter B. Shalimoff]

Attachment: moz.bmkmgr.reuse_existing_bmk.patch

If the current page is already bookmarked, bookmarking it again by pressing Ctrl+D or selecting Bookmarks -> File Bookmark... from the menu doesn't reuse the existing bookmark and shows the new bookmark dialog. This patch shows the existing bookmark.

The existing behavior of Ctrl+Shift+D or Bookmarks -> Bookmark This Page works as you describe.

Though I am totally against changing the behavior of Ctrl+D, this bug.

See Bug 789468 - SeaMonkey fails to add new bookmark if URl already bookmarked

(In reply to therube from comment #1)
I also see the difference between 
'Bookmarks -> File Bookmark...'    -- <Ctrl+D>
and
'Bookmarks -> Bookmark this Page' --  <Shift+Ctrl+D>
as an intended and useful feature.

So as result of discussion and consideration above I close this one WONTFIX
