Readme

Bookmarks provides sidebar integration with the ability to bookmark files and folders.

Ideal if the Files Sidebar is too much, or you want a simpler view of the files you are working on.

Usage

To use Bookmarks:

  1. Select the View → Sidebars → Show All Sidebars menu item
  2. Click Bookmarks sidebar icon

For more frequent access you can drag the Bookmarks icon to:

  • the Sidebar Dock for toggling between sidebars
  • to a window edge to have a split sidebar

Adding/Removing

Use the + icon in the sidebar to add the current file as a bookmark.

Use the - icon in the sidebar to remove the currently selected file bookmark.

There are also two editor commands to add/remove the current file.

Finally, you can right click on a bookmark to bring up a context menu with the following options:

  • Remove
  • Show in Finder

Folders

You can use an editor command to "Add Folder Bookmark".

Due to Nova limitations clicking on a folder uses AppleScript automation to focus it in the Files sidebar.

Missing

Missing files are marked with a chain link icon.

They can be removed manually, or the Refresh command will remove all missing files/folders.

Due to Nova limitations missing items cannot be greyed out or disabled.
