Hey there, it's a nice & simple extension!

I needed a couple of new features, so I extended your extension a little bit without reading this discussion first. It seems the ideas discussed there were quire similar to my thoughts.

Because I've got lots of folders & sub-folders & sub-sub-folders etc., it's hard to identify which folder is a child of which collection. It would be a long process for me to switch from all these folders I've created to tags due to:

  • the same names of these folders inside of the other parent folders,
  • other bookmark extensions only allow to search for bookmarks (their titles or URLs) and not filter by folders/directories,
  • the hierarchical (nested) structure of folders is another concept (similar to collections: see a raindrop.io link below).

I tried the https://raindrop.io free account and they have this concept of (nested) collections, however after the import of a bookmarks.html file you are being notified that: "nested collections only available with PRO account (...) You can click "Continue" and import all your bookmarks and folders, but you will have a flat single-level collections structure!"

That's why I preferred to stay with the default chrome bookmarks first and came up with a couple of ideas to extend the chrome-better-bookmark by @ardcore.

  1. The first idea of captions to indicate the full path to the current directory is implemented like this:

better-bookmarks-captions

The " > " character in a tooltip indicates the next hierarchical level.

`

  1. The next missing feature was the ability to create subfolders, as already mentioned above. I tried to keep it as simple as possible and finally implemented it this way:

better-bookmarks

You can click on one of these radio buttons to mark the parent folder in which you wish to create a new one. That way you can continue to type the name of the new folder in the search input and the previously selected folder will be linked to it as a parent when you click "add new directory in that parent ↗" below.

`
I guess my fork could also be easily extended to multiple folder support (checkboxes instead of radio buttons).

========================================
My fork is heavily optimised for people who likes to stick to the hierarchical folder structure adding new bookmarks: https://github.com/galakhov/chrome-better-bookmark
Try it out and provide some feedback if you like.
