Get Rid of Bookmarks Description Quickly!

Personally, I like to remove all description from my bookmarks for 2 reasons:
1. To keep my opera6.adr document size to minimum (help maintain Opera's performance)
2. To prevent any oversize tool-tip from obscured other bookmarks.
Thus, I came up with a few methods to remove description from any bookmark as easy as possible.

A. Strip New Bookmark's Description
This would be the easiest way to keep your bookmarks clean, by removed the description before adding any new bookmark! Here is a few methods to do so:

Buttons
Button A: Add to Bookmarks
Similar to Ctrl+D Hotkey, strip description

Button B: Add to Bookmarks
Similar to Ctrl+Shift+D Hotkey, strip description automatically
TIPS: The default folder is the highlighted folder/bookmark in the Bookmarks Panel.

Button C: Add to Bookmarks
Strip description & activate folder selection automatically

WARNING: DO NOT replace the default Add button in the Bookmarks Panel/Manager with above buttons!

Shortcuts
1. First, go to Preferences(Ctrl+F12) > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse/Keyboard Setup.
(& create a new mouse/keyboard setup, if you didn't do that already)

2. Next, double-click on a Mouse/Keyboard setup you want to use, select Application section.

3. Finally, create/modify a shortcut with your preferred MG/Hotkey with the following actions:

Similar to Ctrl+D Hotkey, strip description automatically

Add to bookmarks, 1 & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Click button & Delay, 100 & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Clear & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget

Similar to Ctrl+Shift+D Hotkey, strip description automatically

Add to bookmarks & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Click button & Delay, 100 & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Clear & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget

Strip description & activate folder selection automatically

Add to bookmarks, 1 & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Click button & Delay, 100 & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Clear & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Show dropdown

TIPS: Add to bookmarks syntax will use the highlighted folder/bookmark in the Bookmarks Panel as default folder; Add to bookmarks, 1 syntax will ALWAYS set the root folder as the default folder.

B. Strip Old Bookmark's Description
You might have a ton of old bookmarks with unwanted description, there are a few ways to remove the description quickly... I made a button & syntax to strip one selected bookmark's description at a time (Won't worked on multiple selection):

Button
Button: Clear Bookmark Description

Shortcuts
Clear Bookmark Description

Edit properties & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Clear & Click default button

TIPS: From Tamil

If anybody wants to remove description for all bookmarks, close Opera, open opera6.adr in text editor and remove line starting with DESCRIPTION= one by one.

UPDATE: Tamil build an application for removing ALL descriptions from ALL bookmarks, get it HERE!
