ArialMoon Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hello, how do I manage my favorites in Maxthon 5, like adding a folder and things like that? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfmann Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Use notes manager link under the favorites star top left... I DO wish you could drag and drop in there to arrange things. If there's a way, I haven't figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What version are you using and on what OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What version are you using and on what OS? It sure doesn't work for me in Notes manager. From the main favorites to a "videos" folder for instance. I can't drag to the folder.

PHYR Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 If it's a note, why would you want to? It's a note, not a favorite. Not meant to be a favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario.NET Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 That's not favourites management, it's a simple list element reordering Try to move a group of ten or more favourites in a deep subfolder, as an example: it's quite cumbersome A management window like in MX4 would be really useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Maxnote. You can't select folders in the left pane, but fav's and folders can be selected from the right pane using the standard windows key combo's ctrl &/or shift. The items marked grey were selected using ctrl+left click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you restore it back to the main window (ctrl+G or close button) then it will show like my image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot confirm If I use the main maxnote window, its even worse: same layout, but without the icons (I clicked on the 'man with the hat' icon, instead of hitting ctrl+g) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7twenty Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 4 hours ago, Mario.NET said: Cannot confirm If I use the main maxnote window, its even worse: same layout, but without the icons Are you using a skin of some sort? The only reason the icons won't show is if there's a problem and they can't be found. And i'm thinking that it could be related to that. It's definitely not doing what it's supposed to. Test using a portable version. If that shows correctly, then copy the page.dat file from the portable version into your original install. Or copy over your userdata into the portable version. And just out of curiosity, click as shown below. It should return it to the standard 3 pane view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I open maxnote in popup version, the icons are present Portable version works the same. Feel free to ask if I can do more troubleshooting Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The userdata shouldn't affect that, as the data for the skin files isn't anything that's sync'd. There's definitely something odd going on with your install.

Ok, I tried to rename my %appdata%/maxthon5 folder and then start the portable version No favorites imported, but the problem remains: icons in maxnote show up only in popup mode I give up for now: I'll keep checking this on next versions Thanks for helping, 7twenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
