3.2  Menu Actions

Although the Inspector Panel provides the most inclusive editing capability of the selected item (or selection), the Selection menu, and contextual menus provide quick access to common edit operations.  In addition, some of these actions may be performed on selections of multiple items.

This section describes some of these menu items and the operations they execute.

To display a contextual menu, use a secondary click.

3.2.1  Visit

When you are click Visit, the selected bookmark is visited, using the browser which you have set for that bookmark.  This setting is in the Inspector panel.  If it is set to Use Document Default Settings, then the browser used is that which is indicated in the Bookmarkshelf’s Settings ▸ General tab.

In either case, the setting Your Default Browser refers to the “Default web browser” currently set in your Mac account.  This value can be set or changed in the Preferences of most locally-installed web browsers.  For example, in Safari, click in the menu Safari ▸ Preferences ▸ General.

In so doing, the browser will become the active application.  If you want BookMacster to remain the active application, hold down the option key as you click this menu item.  (This does not work when using the keyboard shortcut ⌘K.  That is, ⌘⌥K does not work.)

You can also visit selected items by doubleclicking on them.

3.2.2  Delete Items

When you Delete a selected folder, this deletes all the items inside it too, so if you want those items you must move them out first.

3.2.3  Will be Sorted

Clicking the Will be Sorted menu item changes the selected folders’ will be sorted attribute.  It is one of the ways that BookMacster allows you to designate some folders to be sorted and some to remain unsorted.  If this menu item is preceded by a checkmark, the attribute is on.  If this menu is preceded by a dash, “-“, that means that you’ve selected more than folder, some of which have this attribute on and some of which have it off.  You can also look at a folder’s background color and symbol in the Content Tab.

3.2.4  Nudge Up and Nudge Down

Nudge Up and Nudge Down are only enabled when the selected item(s) are in a folder which is marked to be not sorted. The reason for this is that if you move around items in a folder which is going to be sorted, they will be probably be moved to different locations the next time sorting is done, and thus to nudge such item(s) would ultimately result in disappointment.
