BookMan: Organize your bookmarks

BookMan is a tool which allows you to bookmark folders and URL's using Krusader, and later return to them in a click of a button. All you need to do is click on the "Bookmark" button.


BookMan: the Bookmark menu

BookMan: the Bookmark menu.


Usually, you click on the "Bookmark" button when you're in the target folder. For example, to bookmark /usr/tmp, navigate Krusader there and click the "Bookmark" button and select "Bookmark Current". When the "Bookmark Current" dialog box appears, the URL line will say /usr/tmp. "Name" is for the name you would like to give to the bookmark (for example: temporary folder). Hotkeys are supported by adding & to the bookmarkname e.g. &sourceforge, &home, down&loads etc., so you can quickly call the bookmark name with Alt+foo. If you add the bookmark without entering a name, the bookmarks name will be the same as its target. "URL" is where the bookmark points to. "Create in" allows to make bookmark folders for organizing your bookmarks

Note

You can bookmark inside a remote filesystem (FTP or SAMBA) and later use the bookmark to quickly connect to the remote machine. You CANNOT bookmark inside an archive.

To use your bookmarks, click the "Bookmark" button and choose one - as shown in the picture above. You may also use the keyboard shortcuts Alt+right/left arrow to open right/left panel bookmarks list or Ctrl+d to open the bookmarks of the active panel. A middle mouse button click on bookmarks opens them in a new Folder tab.

Navigation in bookmarks:

  1. start typing letters

  2. e.g. when you type 'h' and only 1 bookmark starts with 'h', it is executed immediatly - no enter needed

  3. if more than one bookmarks start with 'h', you will have to continue adding letters, until you specified enough and again, the bookmark is executed.

Bookman supports "special / permanent bookmarks" which means that they are added by the Krusader-Krew to the top bookmark menu without the need of being saved to the file, right now the only one is "devices:/" You are able to turn them off.
