Description:
I cannot create sub-level bookmark folders, nor can any bookmark folders be deleted or inserted into other folders after creation.  When I right-click in the bookmark window to add a new bookmark, even when the original "Bookmark" root folder is selected, the new folder I create is added to the main list, equivalent to "Bookmark" and not contained inside it.  Also, the newest folder automatically becomes the root folder.  Attempting to drag a folder into another to make it a sub- does not work.  Attempting to delete the root folder gives me the normal "cannot delete root folder" error, however when i try to delete a non-root folder it does not work either--although the dialog properly asks, "Do you want to delete the bookmark folder <folder name>?", after clikcing "Yes," the folder is not changed or removed.

All bookmarked queries are stored in the root folder no matter which bookmark folder is selected.  Queries can be moved from folder to folder after they are saved, although folders cannot be moved.

How to repeat:
*Click once on the original "Bookmark" folder to highlight it
*Right click, select "Add a Bookmark Folder" (name: newfolder1)
*newfolder1 should now be the root folder.  Attempt to drag it into Bookmark.
*Attempt to delete newfolder1 or Bookmark

*Create query "select red," click on folder Bookmark
*Go to Add bookmark from the Query menu, name "Query1"
*Query1 should be stored in the root folder, not Bookmark

Suggested fix:
Folders should be full editable and navigable through click-and-drag functions.  All folders should be able to be deleted.  Selecting a folder prior to adding a bookmark should make that the folder for the new bookmarked query.  Folders should be able to be renamed as well as in Windows functionality.

Thanks for the time.

Sorry--I hadn't noticed, but at each failure as listed above, for instance when I drag one folder into another, or after I confirm that I want to delete a folder, I see an Access error in the status bar.  The error reads: Access violation at address 005968C1 in module 'MySQLBroswer.exe'.  Read of address 00000000 when I try to delete a folder, and the address changes to 00595F70 when i try to move one folder into another.
