Package: chromium Version: 13.0.782.107~r94237-1 Severity: wishlist Hi!
While trying out Chromium, I noticed that the way to access bookmarks is terribly slow and uncomfortable: the bookmarks bar shown in the "new tab page" (or always shown, if you check "Always show the bookmarks bar" in the preferences) only makes the first few bookmark folders visible; everything else is hidden in a drop down menu that doesn't appear until I click on the ยป symbol; then I have to scroll down and find the bookmarks I am interested in, one at a time... The "Other Bookmarks" section suffers from similar issues. All this is really slow and unpractical, especially if you have a good number of bookmarks. Another problem with the bookmarks bar is that it eats up vertical space (especially if it is always shown). With nowadays wide-screen LCD panels, vertical space is not too abundant, while horizontal space is more than enough to accomodate for a side pane. What I would really love seeing implemented in Chromium is a side pane similar to the one implemented in Galeon. Start Galeon and hit [F9] to see it in action: it shows all your bookmarks in a nice expandable tree-like representation, where you can easily scroll, expand some folders and choose the bookmarks you are interested in, open them up in new tabs, or even edit them, add new ones, delete existing ones, and so forth... It even includes a "Find:" box, where you can easily search your large bookmark collection. And the side pane is always there, ready to be used to access bookmarks, until you hit [F9] again, of course. Galeon also remembers to automatically show the side pane at startup, if it was visible the last time Galeon was closed. I really lack this feature in Chromium. May this be implemented, please? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages chromium depends on: ii chromium-inspector 13.0.782.107~r94237-1 page inspector for the chromium br ii libasound2 1.0.24.1-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.13-16 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcups2 1.4.8-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.14-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.94-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libevent-1.4-2 1.4.13-stable-1 An asynchronous event notification ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libflac8 1.2.1-5 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.6-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.6.1-4 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.32.4-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.4.6-9 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.23.5-3 GDK Pixbuf library ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.4-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libjpeg62 6b1-2 Independent JPEG Group's JPEG runt ii libnspr4-0d 4.8.9-1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-1d 3.12.11-1 Network Security Service libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.46-3 PNG library - runtime ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1-1 The Speex codec runtime library ii libstdc++6 4.6.1-4 GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvpx0 0.9.7.p1-1 VP8 video codec (shared library) ii libwebp0 0.1.2-1 Lossy compression of digital photo ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-4 GNOME XML library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxslt1.1 1.1.26-8 XSLT 1.0 processing library - runt ii libxss1 1:1.2.1-2 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1-2 desktop integration utilities from ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime chromium recommends no packages.
