Adding Bookmarks  
 

In general, to bookmark a URL, drag it to the Bookmarks window or drawer.

Anywhere you see a icon, there's a URL that you can drag. You can also drag any link out of a web page. You can also drag URLs from any place in which you can select text (including other applications), as long as the text happens to be a URL. And you can drag URLs of icons in the Finder and objects in other applications.

To bookmark the page you're viewing in a browser window, choose Add to Bookmarks (⌥⌘A) from the Bookmarks menu or click the Add Bookmark button on the browser window toolbar.

To add a bookmark folder, choose Add Bookmark Folder from the Bookmarks ▶ Edit Bookmarks menu, or click anywhere in the bookmarks list and press the Return key.

OmniWeb actually makes little distinction between bookmarks and folders -- creating a new bookmark folder actually creates a bookmark without a URL.

Editing Bookmarks

To change the label of a bookmark, click on it to select it, wait a second, and click on it again. Or, click on it while holding the Option key. Or, choose Edit Label from the Bookmarks ▶ Edit Bookmarks menu.

You can edit a bookmark's URL, description, its change checking settings, and whether it opens as a bookmarks window in the Info window that appears when you choose Show Info from the Tools menu.

Organizing Bookmarks

You can rearrange your bookmark list by simply dragging bookmarks around in it. As you drag, a placeholder will appear noting where the URL you're dragging will end up if you release the mouse button. If you try to drag one bookmark on top of another, the placeholder will shift to the right, indicating that the bookmark you're dragging into will become a folder if you release the mouse button.

Most of the items in the Edit menu apply to bookmarks; you can cut, copy, paste and delete them, and you can undo any changes you make to your bookmarks list. You can also use the Find panel to search for bookmarks (based on their labels and notes). Bookmark files are saved automatically when you edit them.
