Add doesn't work in 2.11
nomad —Mon, 10/20/2008 - 14:23
Hi,
1) in FD 2.11 the Add option on the context menu in FD does not do anything. I can still use the "Add to Fast Dial" context menu option
2) This always adds to the first page of FD now unlike in earlier versions where it was added to last opened page in FD (please can we have this functionality back).
3) Drag and drop no longer works on folders so this page can not be moved. Moving the page in bookmarks is the only way to organise now.
4) For the bookmark to appear I have to hit F5 to refresh. All the bookmarks then change position and some disappear. After three or four refreshes the bookmarks settle down with all visible. Rearranging them makes some disappear again and so on. Is there any chance this lot can be moved out of bookmarks and stored somewhere else as in earlier versions?

Had noticed the same problem.
It has been reported.
Although Add appears on the right click menu, it does not open the Properties Menu as it should.
This is a bug. it has been reported here
If show empty cells is un-ticked in Preferences then this removes the possibility of being able to open a Properties Menu altogether in FD 2.11, so it is then impossible to create a cell at all from within Fast Dial.
So enable show empty cells allows one to click on the empty cell, even if it is fully transparent, and then get a Properties Menu.
This would allow you to create cells from within Fast Dial until the bug is fixed.
2) This always adds to the first page of FD now unlike in earlier versions where it was added to last opened page in FD (please can we have this functionality back)
Yes this is quite useless.
v2.12.0 tries to address this matter, but does not quite succeed.
Have you tried it at all ?
see thread here
I would be interested to hear what you think of that Version.
3) Drag and drop no longer works on folders so this page can not be moved. Moving the page in bookmarks is the only way to organise now.
Yes. This is really most unsatisfactory. read infuriating.
Shame that one cannot use cut and paste.

Yes , this is the fundamental question.
Things would hopefully then return to normal, and break with this strained and tiresome relationship with outmoded Bookmarks altogether.

It is frustrating to reflect on the fact, that FD 1.x, in all the areas that you have chosen to mention, works quite effortlessly.

I think the bookmark concept has it's advantages too, thinking in terms of syncing and not having to effectively manage two sets of bookmarks. It becomes similar to the thumbnail view in the Bookmark Previews addon.

The former is true for me with 2.14. My work around is to set the cells as "transparent" for colors.

Strange
I understand
Do not need to have that workaround
Add works fine for me in 2.14
