You know how if there's too many bookmark folders on the Bookmark Bar, it creates that little arrow icon with your remaining bookmarks? Well, I want just that arrow icon to hold ALL of my bookmarks. Is there a way to do this?

Better yet, something like Concierge would be great, but it looks like it'll no longer work in the latest Safari.

Maybe this website link can help.

Open your bookmarks via the book icon on the left of the bookmarks bar.
Add folders, via the + at the bottom of the window, for the bookmark bar to sort out the collection. Add folders to the side bar for rarely used bookmarks.
Folders on the bookmark bar are very handy

Here's a screenshot of what I'm trying to do:



Moving all of the bookmark folders into one icon (i.e., the circled thing).

Have not seen anything that will do what you're wanting. That arrow is only for overflow when you have more bookmarks than will fit on the bar.

What you're wanting to do is eliminate the whole purpose of the Bookmarks Bar. It is designed as a place to store your frequently used bookmarks, while the more obscure are saved into the Bookmarks Menu. The bar is designed to save a click - the click of hitting 'Bookmarks' on the Menu Bar. To put all the folders of the Bookmarks Bar into a single folder eliminates the saving of that click and you might as well just move all of your bookmarks to the Bookmarks Menu and eliminate using the Bookmarks Bar altogether to get that screen real estate back.

If you are really insistent and want the Bar, but only a single folder:

Go to Bookmarks
Show All Bookmarks
now go back up to Bookmarks
Add Bookmark Folder - it will be added at the bottom of the sidebar, name it whatever you like, I'll call it 'ABC'
now highlight Bookmarks Bar at the top of the sidebar
drag 'ABC' to the right side
now drag all the other folders on the right side into 'ABC'

You will now have a single folder on your Bookmarks Bar

Good idea, thanks!

Here's a new weird roadblock. I import all my bookmarks, move to the desktop so I can put in ABC order, and when I move it back to the bookmark menu, I lose the third sub-folder. For example, if I have a folder called FORUMS (1) > MAC (2) > Mac-Forums.com (3), the third one (Mac-Forums.com) won't be there. It WILL stay there if I don't alphabetize it. Why is this?

EDIT: Found a magnificent script called Sortosaurus that'll fix all of this.

Because you're trying really hard to make a simple thing complicated. Nobody said anything about desktops or alphabetizing. You're trying to make a very simple thing very complicated.

If you want all of your bookmarks to be in one menu on the bookmarks bar., do what bobtomay said. Make a new folder, and put all of your other bookmarks and folders inside that folder.
