Moving bookmarks around easily?

Question

Hi all,
I've been using Firefox and Safari has one advantage: one can move a folder of bookmarks easily into another folder. I have an enormous number of subjects I read up on, and so I move folders onto my bookmarks Bar quite (and then back off again) quite a bit.
Firefox lets me pan down my "FUN" folder to my "Terraforming Mars" folder (when I'm in a geeky mood) and JUST DRAG the folder out onto the bookmark bar. That is, by force of habit (going into the "FUN" folder anyway), when I decide that yes, I really do want to read about Terraforming Mars, I just drag it out. Done. No going to "organise bookmarks" or anything like that. Also, Firefox lets me just drag bookmarks up and down the folder menu as I wish. It's intuitive and "human"... I just select it, hold down the mouse, and drag up or down as I wish.
Safari can't do that.
However, Firefox can't put those folders BACK the way Safari can! It seems like Firefox lets you unpack your folders, but Safari lets you put them away. It's petty I know... but I thought Safari would be more "intuitive" this way.
Other than that, Safari 4 seems stable so far. Good stuff.

>Apologies if I'm missing something obvious!
I don't know if it's actually obvious at all - it's certainly been a bit of a bone of contention in the past, and there are at least three things you can do which might help. Probably the best thing to do if you want to add time into a session (which is essentially what happens if you move all the clips to the right!) is just to put the cursor where you want the extra time, and hit Shift+Delete, and you get to choose exactly how much time to add.
This generally works fine, but if you put the cursor in the middle of an existing track when you do this, it will split that too - although it's easy to join those up again. For instance, if you have a BG FX track, say, and a load of other voice files you want to move over, then you will have to repair the FX track afterwards.
The other thing (and this is what I do) is that when you've got a load of files which are all relatively in the correct position, you group them. As long as none of the files is locked in time, then you are able to pick up the group as a whole, and shift it around.
As for grabbing groups of files though - well, this is possible, but there's a slight caveat. Select the Move/Copy Clip tool (with the little crosshair), and if you left-click and drag it over your clips, it will select any clips within the dragged area. And that's the problem; if any part of a clip falls under the drag area, even though most of it's outside it, it is included in your drag, and if you don't want it, you have to deselect it with a Ctrl+mouseclick afterwards. Ideally there ought to be an option to only select clips that fall entirely under the cursor, but unfortunately at present there isn't.
Hope that's some help.
