Safari bookmark organization and icon display issues

Hey everyone,


I'm giving Safari another genuine shot after being a Chrome user for a long time, mainly to help with battery life and not dealing with Chrome’s endless history munching. I ran into a couple of quirks I wanted to flag here.


First, when I want to organize bookmarks into a folder, I noticed I can only do that smoothly by opening the sidebar and dragging them in. It'd be much more convenient if I could just do that directly from the bookmark bar itself.


Second, when I put bookmarks into a folder, I can't seem to delete the bookmark names and just show the icons like I can when they're in the main favorites bar. In Chrome, I can do both of these things easily—drag straight into folders and keep them icon-only—so it would be awesome if Safari could support that as well.


Just tossing it out there in case these tweaks could make it into future updates. Thanks!
