Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
*Go to Add to Bookmarks
*Go to BookmarksManager>Toolbar>Move or BookmarksManager>Edit>Move Bookmark(s)

Actual Results:  
Add to Bookmarks... uses a simple drop down list

Move and Move Bookmark(s) uses a standard tree

Expected Results:  
Make it consistent by making Add to Bookmarks use a tree or make Move use a drop
down list

Confirming. The Move bookmark dialog is far more useful (only a bit small) than
the Add bookmark dialog.

Comment 2

[Pham]

Pch seems to be pro simple/small/addressbar...

Comment 3

[Pham]

Attachment: what about this

Or rather than a seperate window, maybe it could be like this

taking QA contact, sorry about the bugspam

Comment 5

[Steffen Wilberg]

I'd like to see a tree view in the "Add Bookmark" dialog. Bug 178514 asks for
it. That's also what pch says in bug 205507 comment 2.

Comment 6

[Steffen Wilberg]

Pham, there is a tree view in Tools-Options-General-Use Bookmark as well. Do you
think this should be a list as well? Or do you agree with the commenters and
voters for bug 178514 that "Add Bookmark" should provide a tree view? This would
make it consistent with "Move" and "Use Bookmark".

Comment 7

[Pham]

There's still no need for New Folder/Use Default. I don't even know what
'default' is. And the box is painfully small

Since tree is coming back, then I'll just rename this

Comment 8

[Steffen Wilberg]

Pham, that's completely different from the original bug! Please file a new one,
with steps to reproduce, actual results, expected results etc.
Marking as invalid.

Yes, the box is too small, but you can enlarge it and it remembers that. It
should be larger from the beginning though.
The Default button was removed from Mozilla so I guess it's obsolete. It takes
you to the main folder as far as I can see.
The New Folder button doesn't even work. But I think it should be fixed instead
of removed.

Comment 9

[Pham]

he he I do that alot but your first to not like recycling bugs

Comment 10

[David Tenser [:djst]]

Why was this bug closed? The "Move bookmark" dialog is far more useful (though a
bit too small by default) than the "Add to Bookmarks" dialog. 

I think Pierre, the module owner, should be the one to decide if this is INVALID
or not.

Comment 11

[Pham]

I made a new bug because willberg didn't want me to recycle a bug

Bug 214754

Wilberg says tree is coming back, so this bug about making Move mimic dropdown
is useless

Comment 12

[Steffen Wilberg]

David, this bug was about making "Add Bookmark" and "Move" consistent.
I asked the reporter in comment 6 if he agrees with the commenters and voters in
bug 178514, which asks for a tree view in "Add Bookmark", that a tree for that
is better than a drop down list for "Move". Pierre seems to favor a tree view as
well, see comment bug 205507 comment 2.

The reporter agreed, but then wanted to remove some buttons from "Move" (comment
7) and changed the summary to 'get rid of redundant buttons in "Move"'. I said
please don't recycle bugs and file a new one, comment 8, marking this bug as
invalid. He agreed (comment 9), verified the bug and filed bug 214754.

Again, we already have a bug that asks for a tree view in "Add Bookmark", that's
bug 178514. There's also some (kind of meta) bug 214527.

Comment 13

[David Tenser [:djst]]

Ok. I thought this bug was about making the Add Bookmark dialog look like the
Move Bookmark dialog, which would make this a duplicate of bug 178514.

Pham, instead of nullifying the summary, it's better to change it to the
original bug and duplicate it to bug 178514.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
