Tear can be launched similarly, but not fullscreen yet.

Just want to say that I just tried using tear while connected to boost mobile's iden network using Yodude's setup, and boy does it work great! True, when exploiting boost's 19.2 kbs data connection, it's wise to let something like skweezer.com act as your web portal. But so long as you do so, site content loads extremely quickly and snappily. And the best part: it's free! (Well, actually it's $3.33/month, after the purchase of the phone off ebay; you need to top up your boost account with $10 every three months to keep it active.)

Anyway, this will keep my mobile web needs satiated as I await the new hardware and decide whether to drop the $$ to upgrade. With tear, my tablet has new life. With tear+boost, I am truly mobile and happy.

Also, I might have missed the announcement, but tear now remembers my login information and preserves my logged-in status from one session to the next. This is a huge development, for which I am VERY grateful!

This should be a webkit feature

I made a small upstream update, maybe from it.

I got some time to work on the tearbookmark task navigator plugin, and I was able to implement folder support I'm going to test this some more, and should be able to put it in extras-devel tomorrow night. This new version also includes some fixes to make the menu more standard (using set_ellipsize, instead of just taking the first x characters), and should fully dynamically update. This means that if you add a new bookmark, you don't need to reload the plugin. Every time the menu is opened, the database is read. This slows down opening a little, but it's not too bad. Also included is some better logic when launching tear, which should reduce some application overhead.

However, I'd like some input. Should the folders show up at the top of the menu (before the bookmarks in the root folder), or at the bottom of the menu?

Why should folders be separated from bookmarks? They should be treated like any other bookmark, and allowed to be ordered arbitrarily by the user. This is especially important for non-touch screen users.
