Suggestion for Bookmark-Storing Menu/Interface

Hello.
On this My Opera Web site, there is a fantastic option which enables duplicate bookmark data to be deleted.
However, this is opposite to my præferences, which, as far as I can tell, remain uncatered.
I like to keep my concepts non-heirarchic, where this reflects the reality I percieve.
For example, 'YouTube' may be bookmarked underneath 'Internet Media', or 'Cinematography'.
I generally use my Opera Mobile Browser to browse the Web extremely often. It is useful when not around a desk-/laptop computer for reference to the Web. My 'phone largely has the capacity for my intricate bookmark directory system.
Multiply catagorising a bookmarked Web page involves multiple presses of the 'down' key on my handset, which, as my directory system contains hundreds of folders within its subordinating network, can get extremely tædious.
I therefore hereby offer these suggestions for the Opera Mobile Browser:
☞ plus and minus icons to expand or collapse folders’ sub-lineage;
☞ tick-boxes to enable the duplicate storing of bookmarked Web pages underneath multiple folders;
☞ option to copy a bookmark to another folder/location inside the 'Edit' menu where one can currently move the folder to another location.
I unfortunately do not think I have the latest version of the Opera Mobile Browser, because I think I saw a 'silent' upgrade (released recently) advertised on this Web site, however, my version is still very recent. I cannot upgrade at this time, so can only apologise if this issue has indeed been resolved.
Thank you,
Rob bigsmile.
Postscript: thank you for this brilliant piece of software.

Sorry, I think this would rather have been posted in the Opera Wish List thread: perhaps I could re-post it there?

Go to Menu>help>about opera. That should give you your current v.
I'm not really clear on what you want to do. You want to fold your bookmarks and have multiple duplicate bookmarks in different folders? confused If you synch your bookmarks with operalink, it'll arrange them alphabetically...

Thank you for your reply.
I think i should have posted this thread in the Wish-List forum because it's not so much that I need help, in that I am posting a suggestion to the developers.
To duplicately store bookmarks on the Sambian Opera Mobile Browser requires scrolling through my intricate network of bookmark folders: I am suggesting plus/minus icons to fold or expand folders, so as to reduce scrollong distance, and tick boxes to mark folders; so multiple folders may simultaneously be selected in one scroll.
Rob.

Why not both? Yahoo! and Google Bookmarks use 'lists' and 'folders'.

The ohs in 'Google' are eyeees!!
Still though, it demonstrates folders and tag words being used in conjunction with each other.
