157729 - [RFE] Allow "file bookmark to filesystem" as .url or .lnk file

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Chris Lee]

In the file bookmark dialoge it would be usefull to allow the user to select to
file to disk as a file of the URL or lnk format used by IE in it favourites so
that it can be double clicked on by a user from a file browser.

Example of use: When I do reaserch I put documents in a directory, but to save a
related bookmark I have to put a link in a file or something where a bookamrk
file for that site would be far better.

I think this may already be possible but currently broken.  Try dragging the URL
icon in the address bar to a folder or to the desktop(as described in bug
103466).  This should create a .url file.  According to bug 103468 however,
Mozilla inserts a trailing null which prevents IE from understanding these
files.   Could you verify that this is still the case.

Already possible, as per comment #2.
