Bug Description

Currently, in the bookmark sidebar, when you press the new folder button, you get a dialog (or popover). This particular dialog is a little confusing, and I feel it's not necessary.

I propose that we adopt a more filemanager-like approach where clicking the new folder button would create a folder in the sidebar immediately, and allow the title to be changed in the sidebar.

Selecting a folder in the sidebar would cause this new folder to be created as a child of the selected folder.

Yes, filemanager-style folder creation would work for selecting the parent and setting a name, but how would you be able to show a folder in the bookmarks bar? Where would that checkbox go from the dialog? Would that be a CheckItem in the context menu of the folder, perhaps? Maybe that would also work for bookmars, not only folders.

Yeah context menu sounds reasonable to me

I started task four month ago, but forgot about and can finish it now.

I had stopped on the katze - tree view items match.

When I receive treeview node on the 'edit' event, which item in katze array I must to change? Text search is not sustainable. Is it correct, when I add some metadata info in treeview on load? Or I must create new entity -- katze/treeview associative table (poor way).

If this message isn't correct here, can you tell me mail-dev list or similar to it?
