Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Tree First Bookmarks allows you to quickly save a bookmark to any of your (sub-)folders by narrowing them down with an integrated spotlight search.

For easy organisation, tooltips with a full path to the listed folders are attached.
Additionally, a sub-tree view with a breadcrumb is shown by clicking on any radio button. If there are any sub-folders in a sub-tree, they can be displayed by clicking on the switch button (found in the top right corner). The sub-tree view will always display the sub-folders in the chosen (parent) folder if there are any.
It's also possible to save the same bookmark to another relevant (sub-)folders by re-opening the extension and clicking on a desired folder.
To quick-open, the hot-keys combination can be used: cmd+b on Mac OS X (ctrl+b on Windows).

Advanced usage, tricks and explanations: By clicking on any radio button next to a folder (on the right) in the folder's list or in the opened sub-tree (on the left), you'll see the breadcrumb navigation with the full path to a chosen folder. After clicking on a radio button, this chosen folder becomes the origin (a parent folder), in where the new sub-folders can be created. Then, if you enter a name for a new folder in the above entry field (it's the search field at the same time) and save it by clicking on this name (or hitting enter) below the field, the folder will be placed as a sub-folder into the chosen origin and the bookmark will be added & saved into this newly created (sub-)folder. If no origin has been chosen, the location new folders are saved to is the default "Other Bookmarks" folder.

This extension is meant for a quick classification & saving a bookmark into some particular folder only. It helps to filter out & find this one folder among a huge set of folders and sub-folders or to create a new folder with a desired name. It is not meant to look for your saved bookmarks nor open any bookmark, as this action is possible in chrome by default.

To search for bookmarks, history, or opened/closed tabs, use the Saka extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/saka/nbdfpcokndmapcollfpjdpjlabnibjdi

User reviews

Interacting with this extension is a bizarre, frustrating exercise. It's purpose is a mystery. The design is absolutely unintuitive and doesn't function in a manner that is similar to any software I have ever used. The author's attempts to clarify, though seemingly well-intentioned, only add to the confusion. As another reviewer noted, a tutorial video could be very helpful. I get the impression that there is indeed some real value in this extension, but this is a good example as to why it usually takes a team to create good software, so that somewhere in the process somebody will consider usability. What good is function without usability. Programmers alone sometimes have their own way of explaining things, and sometimes have zero interest in UX (user experience) and disdain for anyone who can't follow their logic. This extension will be nothing but a waste of time for the great majority of the very few users who will even install it after suffering through the gobbledygook descriptions and being blinded by screenshots of the fluorescent green interface.
