<para>In many applications (&eg; &konqueror;, &konsole;, &konversation;)
the <menuchoice><guimenu>Bookmarks</guimenu><guimenuitem>Edit
Bookmarks</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> option opens the <guilabel>Bookmark
Editor</guilabel>.</para>
<para>Alternatively you can launch the editor as standalone application
to edit the browser bookmarks.</para>
<para>The editor shows a tree view of your bookmarks and bookmark subfolders.
As is usual for tree views in &kde;, subfolders are shown with a small
<keycap>&gt;</keycap> arrow at the left of the folder name;
<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> clicking on it will expand the view to
show the contents of that subfolder and the <keycap>&gt;</keycap> arrow will
change to <keycap>v</keycap>; <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> clicking on the
<keycap>v</keycap> arrow will collapse the subfolder view.</para>

<para>To select an item in the list you can <mousebutton>left</mousebutton>
click on it, or you can navigate through the list by using the <keysym>Up</keysym>
and <keysym>Down</keysym> keys to move around, <keysym>Right</keysym> to expand a subfolder and
<keysym>Left</keysym> to collapse it.</para>

<para>You can move an item to a different place in the list by using the
normal Drag and Drop or <guimenuitem>Cut</guimenuitem> and <guimenuitem>
Paste</guimenuitem> methods. The order in which the items appear in
the <guilabel>Bookmark Editor</guilabel> is the order they will appear in the
<guimenu>Bookmarks</guimenu> drop down list. The <menuchoice><guimenu>Folder
</guimenu><guimenuitem>Insert Separator</guimenuitem></menuchoice> option can
be used to insert separating lines into the list wherever you wish.</para>

<para>A new subfolder can be created at the selected point in the list by
using the <guimenuitem>New Folder...</guimenuitem> option in the
<guimenu>Folder</guimenu> menu or from the drop down menu you get when you
<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on an item in the main part of the
window, or with <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>N</keycap></keycombo>
</para>

<para>To change the name of a bookmark or folder select it then press
<keycap>F2</keycap> or choose the <guimenuitem>Rename</guimenuitem> item from
the <guimenu>Edit</guimenu> menu or the pop up menu that appears when you
<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the item. Similarly, you can edit
the &URL; by pressing <keycap>F3</keycap> or choosing the <guimenuitem>
Change Location</guimenuitem> menu item.</para>

<para>The <guilabel>Bookmark Editor</guilabel> lets you import bookmarks from
a range of other browsers into &konqueror;'s bookmark list, putting them into
 a new folder or replacing all current bookmarks. To do this select
<guisubmenu>Import</guisubmenu> from the <guimenu>File</guimenu> menu. The
<menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guisubmenu>Export</guisubmenu>
</menuchoice> option can be used to export &konqueror;'s bookmarks to a
Mozilla browser.</para>

<para>To select which bookmark subfolder is used to hold the Bookmark
Toolbar items select the subfolder then choose <guimenuitem>Set as Toolbar
Folder</guimenuitem> from the <guimenu>Folder</guimenu> menu.</para>

<para>If you are tidying up your bookmarks and have forgotten what a
particular web page is, you can easily open it from within the <guilabel>
Bookmark Editor</guilabel> by <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> clicking
on the item and selecting <guimenuitem>Open in Konqueror</guimenuitem> from
the pop up menu. If you just want to check that the &URL; is still valid
select <guimenuitem>Check Status</guimenuitem> instead.</para>

<note><para>All your changes are automatically saved if you close
the <guilabel>Bookmark Editor</guilabel>.
</para></note>
