Friendly names for Category Bookmarks

[JohnZeman]

I use bookmarks a lot, for both folders and categories.  Folder bookmarks are fine, they just show the end folder name without the full path.  But category bookmarks show the entire path which is ok providing the category full path isn't very long.  However most of mine are long and as a result I can't see the end name of a bookmark unless I widen the panel way out.

So I'd love to see a friendly names option for category bookmarks, or even if the bookmarks could show the assigned color of a category, either one would help a lot.

This panel currently uses a standard Windows tree control. You should get a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom if the text length exceeds the panel width. Can you confirm that?

Doing anything fancy like inserting ellipsis (...) in the middle of the category name to shorten it is not unavailable. Unless I spend some time re-implementing this with a custom-drawn tree control, which would be overkill.

The favorites are stored as a list of unique category identifiers, which allows IMatch to keep the list current when you change your category hierarchy. Allowing for custom names would require a new storage schema, facilities to enter names for the favorites etc. Doable but I wonder if this will be worth the effort for such a minor feature...

I can change the code to use the color-coding of the categories. This should help.

Yes, I do get the horizontal scroll bar and using it is the way I've been finding the exact category bookmark I want to use at the time.

But if you can enable category color coding for the bookmarks that would solve my issue too because I could see in a quick glance which bookmark I want to use.

Done for the next release.
