The Content in Smarky, Synkmark, Markster and BookMacster is displayed as a standard Macintosh Table or Outline. Dragging items around an outline seems quirky until you learn the little trick shown in this screencast. But you can use this knowledge in other apps too.
The other 20 seconds of this screencast shows how to use the Copy to… and Move to… contextual menu items. This method is particularly convenient for long-distance moves, when dragging becomes a drag.
Copying between / among documents (BookMacster only)
If you have multiple Bookmarkshelf documents, as many users do when initially combining bookmarks from multiple Macs, you may File > Open as many documents as will fit on your screen, then use either technique shown in this screencast to copy items among them. The Copy to… and Move to… contextual submenus will have a “top level” of document names.

Although you may not be familiar with the terms Secondary Click and Contextual Menu, these are two Macintosh friends that you should know. Like the little circles that help during drag and drop, these guys are used in other Mac apps too…
Contextual Menu
A contextual menu is a menu that pops up right under your mouse when you click something. If should offer actions to be performed on the object that you clicked. It is called a Contextual Menu because its items are all in the context of the object you clicked, and these menu items may be different for different objects, and at different times. These behaviors of the Contextual Menu are unlike those of the Main Menu, which is always in the Menu Bar at the top left of your screen.
Secondary Click
A secondary click is the means by which you pop up a contextual menu.
Right-handed people, using a multi-button mouse, who have not reversed their mouse buttons in System Preferences, sometimes refer to the secondary click as a right click, because they do it by clicking the right mouse button. More generally, you click the second (as in secondary) button, that is, the button that you don't usually use.
Those of us with single-button mice or trackpads hold down the 'control' key on our keyboards while clicking the item with the only mouse button or trackpad we have. So some of us call the secondary click a control click. (There are a couple other ways to perform a secondary click with a trackpad. To see what they are and try them out, visit ▸ System Preferences ▸ Hardware ▸ Trackpad ▸ Point & Click ▸ Secondary Click.)
