Suggest: Add "Description" field to Bookmarks and Filters

Post by raccoon »

I would like it if Everything had a descriptive comments field for individual Bookmarks and Filters, that can be read and modified in the Editor and displayed as a ToolTip hint.

This will allow for greater sharing of bookmarks and filters so users can better understand what they do.

A Description and Tags field for bookmarks is on my TODO list.
Thank you for your suggestion.

For now, consider including the description in the Bookmark Name.

For now, consider using the nop: search function as a description.

The nop: search function does nothing (nop = no operation)

For example:
Set the bookmark Search to:
nop:"My Bookmark Description" my search...

The bookmark search (along with the nop: description) is shown in the statusbar when hovering over a bookmark with the cursor.

I like the idea of the bookmark tooltip as the bookmark window blocks my statusbar.
