Not so much showing the Konqueror bookmarks, but bookmarks *into* the file
system, especially on remote shares, make an enormous amount of sense to me.
I have to deal with SMB url's like
"//SERVER/SHARE/Ny Mapp (2)/Märknadsföring/Bilder/originellt/2005-05-25/miljö
bild/grön/" or "//SERVER/SHARE/Media/pdfer/ny pdfer/att maila/hemmet/reklam
för juni.PDF"
A lot of them are either fairly short lived, or apparently randomly named by
whoever made them, or sometimes both (I sometimes find things that were meant
to be short lived, but were so randomly named, they're still there 5 years
later.)
You better believe I bookmark them. I'd never find them again otherwise.
I presume I am not the only person doomed to suffer a fate of working with
insane people who name things strangely and have enormous file servers and so
are never motivated to clean things up. Which leads me to believe that
anyone dealing with very long paths on very big file servers, will find
bookmarks useful for things that you have to look at reasonable often, or at
least, more than once, but not enough to warrant a full mount, or cluttering
up remote:/ with. In any case, bookmarks I can organise by project, by
projected longevity, by who put stuff in them, mounts and remote:/ url's I
can't.
