Today I thought it would be great to have a bookmark toolbar like the one firefox uses.
It would not be a replacement for the Directorylist (Ctrl+D), but another way to view it.

Just drag a folder there to bookmark it. Group similar folders with a drop down menu and submenus.


The main reason for creating it would be speed and the overview.

• not necessary to open Directory list.
• you could easily open all folders of a menu
• drag in to add / drag out to remove

Yes, it is very handy.
In "Altap Salamander" (i'm using it now, and want to switch to TC) is bookmark toolbar, and I'm missing it when using TC.

I use more mouse than keyboard, so It's much faster do 1 click on large tab or button, than small "*" and the 2nd click. (or press ctrl+d and click)

You may drag folders onto main toolbar and TC will make buttons for them. Also in TC 7.50 you may create drop-down subbars with hot folders.

The advantage of Firefox' bookmark toolbar over TCs buttonbar is the possibility to show the name of the items.

If TC would have such a toolbar too, I won't have to open a menu or the directory hotlist first. I could open the folder I want to with one single click.

If TC would support to show text for selected icons in the regular buttonbar (as it was requested a while ago), this would already be a great help, I then simply could cerate a second buttonbar row for my favorite files and folders with text descriptions.

But it only does the icons. And if there is about 10 (how I have) it's quite hard to orient between them.
Text name is needed.
The separate (bookmarks or hotpath) toolbar is comfortable to setup and place

List of advantages of the Firefox Bookmark Toolbar:

• additional name (as you already said)
• drag and drop to rearrange
• create folders on the fly (context menu > new folder)
• drag items into folders (and back out)
• drag tabs to Toolbar

I'd said what I wanted, if you really need this, you may use subbars - they allow text and icons, and you may switch to them and back or use context menu to tweak, but if you want to refuse, you're always find what to object to sensible mind. I have no wish to continue argument so I left it.

@MVV:
No offence meant! Your idea is nice.

I thought of it and tried it - but it is not the same. So I wrote down things I like more in the Firefox Toolbar. (additionally name and drag and drop abilities) Perhaps Christian considers 1 or 2 points. You never know.

Again: Nothing against you.
