Improve "Bookmark page..." dialogue in case of duplicated bookmarks
Ref. this thread: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=434311&t=1272470073&page=2#comment5276141I really appreciate there's a duplicate check, but it will remain annoying and useless as long as user don't know what's going on.
It was annoying me for weeks that when I selected "Bookmark page..." I got no folder to select where to put that bookmark.
I had no clue that it was because it was a duplicate until I read this thread, and if opera wants to reach a broad user mass that kind of subtle documentation will not do it.
A simple notification "Note: This bookmark have xx duplicates" and otherwise dialogue as normal would be my preference. Then I would probably make my bookmark as planned (as thats the most natural context (folder) for me at that moment) and if I see it needed, I'd open Bookmark management panel, filter the duplicates out and delete those I don't want.
That I would consider be intuitive and useful - it's not so at the moment.
Can also "guess" this could have something to do with "link" developers wanting to keep bookmark (database) file simple and without duplicates from the get go. Understand duplicates is a big no-no for database developers, but preventing duplicates must NOT be at the cost of user not being able to add a bookmark into the context (folder) where he want it !!
