problems w Safari

#dn warn closing mult tabs
& -no reopen recently closed tabs

#dn manage bkrmks well:
-no descrip field; also no tags.
-no sorting (!) by name or address.
*cannot find any discussions re 'BOOKMARKS' in sidebar th are neither bkmrk menu nor bkmrk toolbar. weird. no conception of these? (does Apple not know those BOOKMARKS are over there?)ok
~also am having v irritating problem cannot drag indiv bkrmks or folders. have been able to sometimes. but this is not the first time I can't. at lst happened yesterday too. also cannot drag icons to customize toolbar. v irritating. but perhaps a result of sth I did, my highish risk behavior visiting iffy streaming sites. …see if works next time restart Safari. // ok, yes. it works *until* I drag a folder from among those sidebar BOOKMARKS. which it allows, that one drag. then no more. no dragging *any* bkrmks, nor icons from the customize toolbar dialog. so, it screws up Safari that I try to move a folder from that sidebar. maybe not meant to have folders there. yup. if just indiv bkmrks there, can drag around, no problem. but not folders. which is dumb. bcs if I have a bkmrks that I do not want to see on my toolbar or my menu (wh access fr command line or whatever call it at top of screen), so as to preserve from overflow, then am going to have most bkmrks there just in that sidebar, and am going to want to organize in folders. but no one is even talking about that *there*, the sidebar, so it's as if there's no there there.
it's like where bkrmks that are not anywhere go. like the Unsorted Bkmrks in Frfx. but those make sense bcs that is the default when you add a bkrmk without specifying, ie when you just click the star, you have no added that bkmrk to the Unsorted Bkmrks.
in Safari when add a bkmrk you can't select that BOOKMARKS, and I do not know of a way to add a bkrmk without selecting ~ goes to default, wh is toolbar, dumb. I only noticed sidebar BOOKMARKS bcs D has bkrmks there, not in the menu (where S has inverness and I put weather etc). but how did he come to put those there? wld have to drag over there right? hmm is there some shortcut that does default to there?

#also, problem w Mac OS: cannot singly delete items from trash. that's bananas!

#oh and Safari does not block cookies ie 'website data' even if have selected Privacy > Preferences > ALWAYS block. !!! still accrues. this seems incredible!

Bkmrks hover need show URL in status bar/bubble/tooltip - Safari 3: FAIL | code.ggl/chromium - issue 5246


*bad// HT Manage Safari Bookmarks Efficiently | Cult of Mac /d n find anyth re those Bkmrks that show in library sidebar, ie are neither in bar nor menu // Safari bkmrk handling is poor! (or am I missing sth?) -d n show if site already bkmrkd (like th star on Frfx) -no descrip field -cannot resort by name or address (and no tags either?) // AND I keep being unable to drag to move (though stimes have). this also true of trying drag icon to customize toolbar, so maybe is a problem w my Safari not specific to bkmrks?!

*bad// I cannot customize safari toolbar: Apple Support Communities /no replies yet. me, cannot drag within bkrmks or from customize toolbar. maybe a result of sth I did, an iffy webpage ~ (I have prvsly stimes been able to drag, stimes not)

*bad. terrible!// Safari will NOT block cookies, ever: Apple Support Communities | Aug11 -This is true. The "block cookies always" setting in the Privacy tab is not 100% effective (evidently Apple programmers have their own definition of "always"). Make your next computer a PC that runs Linux.


*bad! re Mac OS// Deleting selected items from Trash - MacRumors Forums | 2006/2009 | -the rational solution [is to be able to] perform a deletion on an individual basis. //that's bizarre th you cannot. and the defenders seem to be saying you shld consider evth in the trash ALREADY deleted. ~ but the analogy wld be, emptying the trash = taking it out (for collection > dump). and you wld want to do that periodically so as to have less in your house!
