The initial value when a new bookmark is added differs depending on the method of creation

Post by rakunavi »

Hello all,

When a new bookmark item is created in the bookmarks pane, the default name is Untitled. In contrast, when a thumbnail is dragged from the Thumbnails pane to the Bookmarks pane, the default name is blank and the application displays <Untitled>. I think it would be preferable to have them both match if at all possible. This is because if the format of untitled bookmark names is consistent, it will be easier to set up conditions for later operation, such as when replacing bookmark names at once.

If they are to be unified, the latter method seems preferable, i.e., the name itself is blank, but <Untitled> is displayed.

This is because if the name is registered as an actual character string as in the former case, when it comes time to modify it, the cursor position will change depending on where you double-click, and the subsequent operations will change. On the other hand, if the name itself is blank, as in the latter case, the cursor position is always at the top, no matter where you click.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Best regards,
rakunavi

Hello, rakunavi

Thank you for the report, I have raised this with the dev team, I agree this seems like a strange difference, and should probably be made consistent.

Kind regards,
