272735 - Dynamic linked bookmarks

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Kieron Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I want to be able to create bookmarks which are dynamic copies of other
bookmarks.  For example, if I have three folders(Work, Personal, Mozilla)
containing a hierarchical tree of bookmarks relating to those subjects, I wish
to create a Daily folder at the root containing dynamic copies of bookmarks
located within those three folders.  This would allow me to maintain related
bookmarks in the same place but have a multi-subject, quick-access Daily
bookmark folder which kept itself up to date.

Ummm, how would this work exactly? Sounds like a user interface nightmare.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

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