282192 - rfe: galeon-style bookmarks toolbar: allow sites & folders to be displayed as 'icons only' in toolbar

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Eric Agnew]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050105 Galeon/1.3.19 (Debian package 1.3.19-3)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050105 Galeon/1.3.19 (Debian package 1.3.19-3)

I've got all my bookmarks in the toolbar, some in directories & some not, but
all of them are displayed as only icons under Galeon.  Under the galeon bookmark
properties editor, there's a tab for 'toolbar' which allows an icon to be
specified- the bookmark/folder is then displayed only as an icon when it appears
on the bookmarks toolbar.  If I import my bookmarks into firefox, the icons AND
text appear for each bookmark & folder, and there's not nearly enough room to
fit them all on the toolbar.

It'd be nice if Firefox had this functionality as well.  This may be related to
#199877, but AFAIK that bug doesn't mention the icon-only display when in the
toolbar.

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: my bookmarks toolbar in galeon

The floppy disk (opened) is my 'software' folder.  /. & google (far left) are
simple bookmarks, most of the rest are folders.  Showing those all as text
would never fit on a single screen.

It'd be even cooler if ALL of the folders (not just those in the toolbar) could
have icons instead of the default folder icon...  Perhaps the ideal solution
would be to allow custom icons for all entries (same as bug 199877), and to
allow an extra option to 'display as: icon / text / both' in the toolbar.

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

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