How to open all bookmarks in a folder

Hello,
I've had a longstanding question regarding the behavior of bookmark folders and the Command/Ctrl"shortcut" that acts as if selecting Open All in Tabs.
Why does the menu open when I Command click on a bookmark folder from the bookmarks toolbar? It forces the user to "click out" to exit the menu to continue. This essentially negates the benefit of the Command click shortcut. If I have to click twice, I may as well open the bookmark folder normally and select Open All in Tabs.
I'm assuming that Command/Control click is intended to be a shortcut feature to open all the bookmarks contained within a folder on the toolbar. It seems like unwanted functionality to have that menu open. If someone is trying to use the "shortcut" they don't intend to make a selection from the menu and wouldn't need it to open.
Let me know how I need to proceed. I'm not sure if this is a really old bug, a feature request, or just something I'm missing. If you could point me in the direction of an add-on or configuration parameter that would allow me to change this on my own, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

I never noticed that glitch with {Ctrl + Click} on a folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar before you mention it now. I have always used a Middle-click to open all the bookmarks in a folder, the downside is that it opens new tabs and doesn't overwrite the tab that is already open.

How to open all subfolders within a folder

I have a rather large folder of photos with many subfolders and further subfolders. At least a couple hundred folders.
I would like to open them all so I can compare by name looking for duplicates and for size so I can delete the very small ones.
Can someone tell me how to open them all?
Thanks

This is great! In the off chance anyone else is trying to do this, this is also useful if you have Papers and you want to switch to Mendeley. Papers keeps PDFs all organized by year and then author so the PDFs are all nested in subfolders. If you option-click the triangle next to the Papers folder, it will then show all the PDFs. Select All and then drag over the whole thing into Mendeley. I just imported my entire collection in under a minute. Glad I looked this up!

Upgraded to Firefox 23 and now my yahoo bookmarks don't have the option to open all tabs in a folder. How can I do this.

The option to open all tabs in a folder is not available any more on my yahoo toolbar. On this computer and my home computer which I just upgraded to firefox 23 and that option disappeared. I need to open all tabs in a folder at one.

Hi ziccs, is the missing feature to open a group of bookmarks all at once in separate tabs?
I haven't explored the Yahoo! toolbar in detail, but it was just updated recently. I noticed the description "new user interface" on the versions page. You also can use that page to re-install the earlier version and see whether the missing function returns.

How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history?

Hi,
How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history. I am not asking about "Reopen from last session". I am asking about how to open all tabs from previous webpage links from a past date from history, currently its allowing me to select each page link manually by clicking it.
Thank you!

Select the first item you wish to open, scroll down to the last, Shift-click that one & all those between should be selected too. Double-click on them & they should all start to open... or you can copy & then drag/paste into a new or existing bookmarks folder.

How to report all items in a folder, including subfolders?

I've got a folder structure like this:
Examples
Product1
Ver1_0
Ver1_2
Product2
ver5_5
Ver6_0
How do I generate a Report that lists all items in a certain
subfolder, including all subfolders?
For instance how to list all items in the Examples folder and
below (e.g all items), or how to list all items for the
folder /Examples/Product1 and below?
I need to provide a read-only view of the items in a report etc
for one user-group. There might be a better way than a
report...!?

The spaces in the folder structure got stripped off...
Trying to show it by prepending >'s instead of spaces to show
the hierarchy:
Examples
Product1
Ver1_0
Ver1_2Product2
Ver5_5
Ver6_0
(I hope u get it)

Have a look at this thread, the last entry has the full code and has everything you need there.
The answer to knowing how many pages is, you don't need to know!
You use SL code and no error and no page is opened. Thats the crux of the code.

How to delete all items in download folder under bookmark in the shortest time?

I understand that all downloads from internet and yahoo/google mail are stored in the "Download" folder which I see under bookmark when I want to delete. I think that if the download folder is never emptied, then my mac will slow down. Therefore I want to delete these downloads which I have already seen. How do I delete ALL items in the shortest time? Deleting items, even in groups, takes a long time. Is there a method that I can use so that all items in the folder are deleted in one stroke?
Thanks.

Try (first button on toolbar) Organize > Select All (Command + A) to select all items in the right pane in the Library.

How to "open all in tabs" bookmarks including links in second level folders (maybe each in new window with tabs) It opens only first level links... thanks

I mean, if I go to the main menu, bookmarks->some folder (this "some folder" includes a 5 bookmarks and "some folder 1", "some folder 2" each with own bookmarks), click "open all in tabs", then it opens only 5 bookmarks, but I want it to open bookmarks from "some folder 1", "some folder 2" too at the same time! (maybe in new windows with tabs for each "some folder 1", "some folder 2") doesn't matter.
Is there a way to do this? Maybe addons? extensions? Maybe you could add this in future versions...
THanks. It would be great for me and my friends. (they also asked about this)

How to open all of your favourite sites inside a folder in Safari

Hi! I didn't see anybody asking something like this... I have a folder in Favorites menu, and I want to open that submenu and click over "Open all in tabs" (or however it is in english :$). I was trying before posting, but I can't access to folders in that menu. Any help?

I'm not sure to perfectly understand what you are asking for. Let's suppose first that your “Favorites” folder is in the “Bookmarks” menu. Then the following script should do the job:
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari"
click menu item -1 of menu 1 of menu item "Favorites" of menu 1 of menu bar item "BookMarks" of menu bar 1
end tell
On the other hand, if your “Favorites” folder is in the Bookmarks Bar, then the following script should do the job:
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari"
click menu item -1 of menu 1 of menu item "Favorites" of menu 1 of menu item "Bookmarks bar" of menu 1 of menu bar item "BookMarks" of menu bar 1
end tell
Hope this might help.

How can I sort bookmarks within a folder by date such that this is apllied not only in the library but also on the toolbar?

Hello,
I have several folders on my firefox toolbar which I use to sort new bookmarks by topic. If I add a new bookmark to a folder it is alwas placed at the bottom (below existing bookmarks) which is somewhat annoying with a increasing number of bookmarks. I would like to have the bookmarks recently added at the top of the folder (above existing bookmarks).
It's no problem to sort them this way within the library. But back at the toolbar everthing remains the same. The only option that seems to work here ist 'sort by name'.
Is there any way to sort the bookmarks by 'date added' such that new bookmarks are placed on top and this is applied also outside the library?
I hope you get my problem!
Thanks!

I do not think there is a way to do that without add-ons
There are a couple of workarounds I am aware of
* Add the bookmarks manually in the bookmarks library and choose the position. That is using Show all bookmarks -> open required folder -> select a position and right click -> add new bookmark <br />Rather a slow and clumsy process
* Sort a folder and copy it. If you sort the folder contents then copy and paste them they remain in that order when pasted.
There are add-ons but I have not tried them. For example
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/simplesort-bookmarks/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/
There will be others available and take note of the advice to backup bookmarks manaully.

10.6.4: how to unlock all files in a folder

hi,
how do you unlock all files inside a folder?
thank you..

thank you.. (I wonder why you can't just do it by getting info on the folder, then saying, unlock all files inside.. (u can do like that in windows) this is always more practical than having to select all files (and accidentally opening them, or something...-) in windows you can select a folder and then say, (un)lock all files and and dirs -- and subdirs and files inside -- inside this folder.. can u do something like this in mac os? if not, that's not very good.. (I guess on the mac would need to find unix commands for doing something like this..)
they really need to consider this for future versions, this is a no-brainer...;-)
thank you..

How to find all bookmarked PDF documents in Preview in Mavericks?

Hi there,
the problem is that before upgrading to Mavericks I could view all my bookmarked PDF documents just via menu bar in Preview, but now in Mavericks I have no idea how to manage this bookmarked documents - I can see bookmarks only after opening these PDF files which have been bookmarked. Just imagine that you have thousands of documents of which only a couple have been bookmarked for later reading - as I can see the only way to find these documents in Maverick is to open documents one by one and see whether they have bookmarks or not... Is there any way to bypass this painful procedure?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Alex

I tried this and it works as you describe, but not all Hypercard documents appear to have the same content type, as described by Terminal.
The first Hypercard stack I tried came up with the content type:
dyn.ah62d4rv4ge8xe6u
The search only found the one result with this type (the same stack).
Then I tried using the Hypercard "Home" stack (a pretty central stack to Hypercard's functioning), and it had a content type:
dyn.ah62d4rv4gk8zgzcbmq
(note the type is longer with a different ending; only the first 14 characters are identical to the first stack).
This search found 317 items, which is likely most of my Hypercard documents, so this is some progress.
Unfortunately I know that since the first stack I tried had a different content type, there may be other Hypercard stacks on my hard drive with yet a different content type, not caught by these searches.
I then tried a wildcard, thinking that if only the first 14 characters of the content type are identical, I focus my search on those characters only, using asterisk as a wildcard at the end. So I searched for:
dyn.ah62d4rv4g*
The result was 526 hits, including many documents that are not Hypercard. So this doesn't help.
It appears that the content type is not exactly specific to a the File Type or Creator Code, so while I can find many of a particular document, this method cannot find all of one type of document.
I tried searching using raw query by the Terminal-reported File Type Code (kMDItemFSTypeCode= "STAK"), but this revealed no items.
Perhaps I should suggest this to Apple as a bug fix for Leopard, to restore the ability to search by Type Code or Creator Code as a choice in the OS Find service? I know these codes are no longer relied on as much as they used to be, since now the OS uses extension as much as anything else, but there is lots of older software that still run in Leopard that use Type and Creator codes. And Apple still recommends registering the creator code of any new software.
Thank you!

How to clear all bookmarks and then IMPORT

.Mac synch messed up my bookmarks. I really thought "merge" meant add any that weren't there before. Instead every single bookmark now appears twice, including the bookmark bar.
How do I delete everything - to start with a clean slate, and import from an export I created from my Powerbook? I think it is time to ditch synching and do it manually. I never really worked for me anyway.
I looked at <<Reset Safari>> but that doesn't mention bookmarks?
Ian

Hi Vegemite,
To CLEAR ALL Bookmarks you can trash the Bookmarks.plist. You will find it here ...
Finder>Home_Folder>Library>Safari Folder>Bookmarks.plist
I suggest to drag the Bookmarks.plist first to the desktop an import them again from your Powerbook. When everything is OKAY than trash the Bookmarks.plist from the desktop.
Good luck ... post back ...

How to Open All Folders At Once

Is there a way to open all the folders that my songs are in, on Windows XP, so that I can see what songs are in there? Or do I have to open them one at a time?
Thanks for any help!

Is there a way to open all the folders that my songs
are in, on Windows XP, so that I can see what songs
are in there? Or do I have to open them one at a

Thanks for any help!
How does this make sense? Sorry, but on my XP box I have over 1000 artists and 1700 albums, each in separate folders (organized by iTunes because I don't have time for such nonsense) - opening all of those folders would be quite a mess on the desktop!
If you want to see the actual files, select any ONE song and choose "Show in Windows Explorer". It will open the containing folder.
Part of the point of iTunes is to make folders and files irrelevant by using a database. You don't need to see or manipulate folder and files to add/remove/edit/play/organize songs, or to use the iPod.
