I just bought the bookmarks and its really nice!
If you don’t mind I have a few suggestions to make it even better

I would remove the blue color of the text of bookmarks and make it white like the rest of unity. I would only use blue for prefabs, just all the same as in rest of unity.

Next is the gear icon, at this moment it’s only used for renaming and delete.
Renaming and delete is also possible with right click menu, so right now I would remove the gear icon.

Add keyboard short cut for deleting. ( Delete key / backspace key )
and for rename ( Enter Key when item is selected )

Last but not least, I would love to see a grid view with larger icons ( same slider as in project view slide to the left make list view, slide to the right same grid view and more to the right larger icons for grid view )

This will help me see textures I added to bookmarks

( without the folders view of the project window. just the right part of it )

Thanks I hope this feedback is useful

Further testing I found one thing that looks unwanted, when you drag an item from inside the bookmarks and drop it again inside the bookmarks it registers it twice, ( and adds its again when you do it again ) I would make an item appear only one time in the bookmarks window.

I also changed the gear icon for an X ( d_winbtn_win_close_a ) as I will try to assign the delete function to the icon directly.

Thanks thats awesome!

And one more thing I found that may be a bit harder to address, when I have hierarchy items stored as bookmarks and I save the scene under a new name ( save as ) then all bookmarks still reference the previous saved scene.

Ideally opening the old or the new scene would still allow the same bookmarks to the reference the hierarchy items depending on which one is open, but then unity allows two scenes to be open at the same time making it even harder.

Thanks for the testing and suggestions.
I will think about how to implement this in an understandable way

Regarding the gear icon: in cas there are only a few functions available like renaming and delete, it could be an option to show symbols instead of having to open the right-click-menu. Deleting and item by just “Del” or “Backspace” could keept it easy, yes - that might be a different UI Scheme functionality, maybe it could be set up in the menu to choose the wanted UI.

Note: I wrote you an e-mail regarding the currend developement status.

The gear icon is replaced already, for an x to delete, very easy now.

Here are some suggestions as promised after having a look on it (will add more if I see any other things which could be optimized):

Subcategories

For each group, I would prefer additional subcategory headlines, which could be added by mouse rightclick → Add “Subcategory” or Remove “Subcategory”. This would just be a visual headline for the links added to this subcategory by dragging / dropping links in it (below the headline) as usual like dragging / dropping links to different positions. Note: it is not needed to be able to open / close that subcategory, as it might overcomplicate it. But this could be an option to help to just quickly have a better overview of the links (as most users will not have that much space on the monitor), and it could prevent the user to get distracted by too much mixed links. The dropdown icon could be on the right, it could be a triangle showing if the subcategory is opened or not (showing up / down). In general, it should be still possible to have no subcategory headlines.

Locking Links

To lock the complete saved links in the list, I would recommend to add an option to lock all links, so that the “x” to delete the bookmarks disappears. This function could be addet to the Bookmarks tab (right mouse click). This would prevent users from accidentally deleting links they added and also give some little bit more space.

I will get back to you as soon as I have some other recommondations. Overall, it is a great tool and I feel I will use this in any project since now. Thanks!

If there was undo after deleting with x there would be no risk of accidental deletion

Hi, I find this Asset very interesting. Only one feature is missing to convince me.

Add GridView option instead of list. Without forgetting the preview image.

This is very useful when doing level design.
