I've been noodling in the Safari bookmarks code for a few days now. I've never found Safari's bookmarks that useful. Good-looking, yes. Functional, no. I couldn't think of a good name for this plug-in, so the code name is "Red Stapler" until a better solution presents itself.

The current functionality is really simple:

• collect all Safari bookmarks into one flat list

• sort by title, url or last time visited (yes, last time visited) this rocks, because you can see the last few things you've added or used and tweak those

• search/filter by title/url

• added an inspector so you can edit complex bookmarks comfortably (handy for javascript bookmarklets)

• changes are instantly sync'd between Safari and RedStapler

• added a preferences panel embedded inside Safari

• can now filter by "popular sites" - sites you visit often

• adjust the maximum number of history items

• adjust the maximum amount of time history items lasts

This is another SIMBL plug-in, but at this point it's manual install only. You must have installed DuctTape 3.0 - which is bundled with PithHelmet 2.3. If you have the wrong version of DuctTape, this will probably crash.
