These all work now. I noticed that I can't print. KDE opens a print 
dialog but when clicking nothing happens.

Add:
- Import/Export bookmarks
- Print
- Move/copy with different kinds of selections to different places

The code I have written lately is quite algorithm oriented and is made 
with trial and error. There are probably bugs although I have already 
fixed quite many. I'm quite tired with this so I won't find many new 
bugs anymore. I need help with testing.

Some things are disabled on top level (without selected items). 
Printing, exporting, importing. Should these work, assuming an invisible 
  root folder? I changed Export and Import menu texts to be a bit more 
guiding. It shouldn't be too much work to make these work from top 
level, too.

Move/copy works like this:

Any selection can be dragged. However, if there are several items, only 
bookmarks OR one folder can be dropped. A folder can't be dropped into 
itself or into its subfolder. A tooltip is shown if illegal drop is 
attempted. I think this is already better than 1.6 which allowed only 
copying, and only bookmarks, not folders.


After these have been tested and bugs fixed all the old functionality 
for bookmarks is there if you don't mind missing top level actions. 
There are no outstanding items in our development plan. It's testing we 
need before the 1.7.0 release. I suggest we test the current svn and 
release the last beta (4). Then we can still fix small bugs before 
releasing the 1.7RC. If no new outstanding issues are found after that, 
we can release 1.7.0.
