Bug Description

Hi.

Problem 1)
  Cannot move tab-C to first position. But there is a work around:
  Start with: tab-A tab-B tab-C
    1. Copy tab-C
    2. Paste tab-A
    3. Result: tab-A tab-C tab-B
    4. Copy tab-A
    5. Paste tab-C
    6. Result: tab-C tab-A tab-B

Problem 2)
  The rule that pasting goes right from destination tab holds always but one time:
  If you paste to the last right tab, it goes left from it. This is inconsistent.

  Start with: tab-A tab-B tab-C
    1. Copy tab-A
    2. Paste tab-C
    3. Result: tab-B tab-A tab-C

Thanks a lot for this excellent Add-On feature! Well done.

Best regards, Andreas

P.S.: I've intentionally not added this remark to the fixed Bug #1489944
      to make that not a Catch-All-Of-Bookmarks-Bug.
      Also, statistics should mirror the fact that bugs are being handled, solved and fixed.
      Hope this is ok for you.

Hi, Andreas.

The position of a pasted bookmark is determined by the position of a mouse click you make to invoke the popup menu. For example, you have tab-A tab-B tab-C.
To place tab-C before tab-A:
1) Copy tab-C.
2) Click right mouse button on the left half of the tab-A to get popup menu and choose Paste tab-C.

To place tab-C after tab-A:
1) Copy tab-C.
2) a) Click right mouse button on the right half of the tab-A to get popup menu and choose Paste tab-C.
   Or
b) click right mouse button on the left half of the tab-B to get popup menu and choose Paste tab-C.

WOW! This explains it all. I've never seen such a behavior with intra-button-position-awareness of mouse clicks. But it is a good idea! So this ticket is solved very quickly.

Please just add this hint to the Zim-Help also.

Your bookmarks plug-in is great and very useful.

Thanks,

    Andreas
