4. Managing Bookmarks

Bookmarks store the URLs of your favorite web sites so you do not have to type their address again when you want to access them. You can classify them by subject, category, etc. Your Mandrakelinux system already has some predefined bookmark categories which you can use as a guide to set up yours. Selecting Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks from the browser's menu will open the bookmarks manager shown in Figure 9.4, “Bookmarks Manager Dialog”.

Bookmarks are classified in a tree structure, with all operations taking place on the currently selected tree node. Click on the New Folder button to create a new folder. Use folders to group bookmarks by subject, category, etc. Click on the New Separator button to add a separating line below the current node. Click on the Properties button to change the current bookmark's properties (name, URL, etc.). Click on the Rename button to change the bookmark's displayed name. Click on the Delete button to remove the current bookmark.

Bookmarks can be exported to an HTML file. Choose File->Export from the menu, enter the file name (bookmarks.html, by default) of the exported bookmarks file and click on Save.

Bookmarks can also be imported from an HTML file. Choose File->Import from the menu, enter the file name of the bookmarks file to import and click on Open.
