How to create a new bookmark folder on the fly

This isn't related to the question at all....

everyone knows how to create a Bookmark Folder normally, the question was specifically about creating a folder WHILE already saving a bookmark, which is just another feature Apple has been asked for for ages, but keeps ignoring customer requests, just the same way as with the disappearance of star rating from iTunes....

Seems like you still don't understand the question...

Creating a folder ON THE GO not "before saving a bookmark"!

Let me give you the example:

You hit CMD+D to save the bookmark, little window pops up for you to name your location and choose destination folder. There and then we want to create a folder, like in any normal web browser you can, apart from Safari. It's not satisfactory to first having to go to sidebar, create a folder and only then be able to save the bookmark into that folder...

It's like not being able to create a folder to save the file in Finder when downloading something which is obvious how ridiculous it sounds!

The question was not how to add a new folder. It was how to add a new folder when you are in the middle of adding a bookmark. Unfortunately, on an iPad, I have not found a way to add a folder on the fly...

I haven't found a way either. Over time, this lack of browser behavior I'm realizing has lessened my ability to organize bookmarks overall.

I had exactly the same issue. Try this: whilst on your web page, select Show Sidebar from the top left of screen. scroll down to the blank space at the bottom of your existing bookmark folders, right click (double finger press on the pad)and the option to create and name a new folder appears without you having to leave the page. You can then save to this new folder in the normal way. It shouldn't be so hard to figure that out but it took me a while. Hope that helps.

When I want to add a new folder to Bookmarks I click on the Bookmark drop down menu, then click on Edit.

This brings up all your folders in Bookmark and at the bottom you can click New Folder , once you've clicked it you can

then name it.

In Safari 10.1.2 (Mac OS x) it is possible to do this in a sort of reverse order. If you do not have a folder that is correct to create a new one:

1) Open the bookmarks sidebar.

2) Right-click any bookmark and select "New Folder" (don't select the bookmark or the page will load that url).

3) Name the folder.

4) Create a new bookmark from the Bookmarks menu and select the new folder from 3) to save it in.

5) Drag the new folder where you want it.

shift+ctrl+n in this safari version creates a private browsing window.

There is a button at top right side of Safari "Hide Sidebar". Click on it then you will see all bookmarks and folders there you can right click and create folder.

I was dumbstruck today on finding out they took out this simple and essential functionality. Apple's usability and Safari functionality just getting worse over time.

I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind - How about <Shift><Command><N>

This works in Safari 6.0.1

Yes I will confirm that for me even with the dropdown sheet to create a new bookmark open, shift-command-n will create a bookmark folder, open a new bookmark management window with the new bookmark in the left pane for you to place somewhere in your hierarchy, and once there and the bookmark management window closed, the folder is immediately available in the target folder dropdown.

I agree, I would prefer how Firefox does it, or at least that the new bookmark is created by default in the folder that is currently selected in the dropdown sheet.

Just what i needed! thanks so much

Anything that needs that much photo explanation is surely missing something. It's counter intuitive to want to save a bookmark and think to create a folder before checking how the folder organization is. Surely you must click save and them decide in which location it will fit. Safari has it wrong!!!

On iPad, in Safari, click open book at top right next to cloud, choose open book again, edit, new folder, location, type, done.

Thank you thank you. Daveink. I finally found the answer to my question in your reply dated Nov 12, 2013 4:45 AM (in response to Antistandard)
