Bookmarks & recents

The sidebar carries two persistent navigation lists: Bookmarks (user- managed) and Recents (auto-tracked).

Bookmarks

Bookmarks point at any level of the hierarchy:

• Bucket: opens the bucket root.
• Folder prefix: opens that folder.
• Object key: opens the parent prefix and pre-selects the key (so the preview pane loads automatically).

Add a bookmark from the toolbar star button (matches the active pane's location) or right-click any entry → "Bookmark". Labels are optional; if unset the row shows the prefix itself.

The active bookmark — i.e. the one matching the focused pane — gets a visible highlight so you always know "where you are" relative to your favourites.

Auto-prune

When a profile is deleted, any bookmark referencing it would otherwise become a dead row. brows3r removes orphan bookmarks automatically the next time both lists are loaded — the user never has to clean up.

Schema

Bookmarks are stored in the Rust-side redb settings store under the bookmarks table. The on-disk shape:

{
  "id": "uuid",
  "profileId": "uuid",
  "bucket": "my-bucket",
  "prefix": "data/2026/q2/report.pdf",
  "label": "Q2 report"
}

Recents

The Recents list mirrors the last 20 distinct locations the user visited, sorted by most recent. It's automatically maintained — every successful setLocation call commits to the list, with deduplication so revisits re-surface entries instead of duplicating them.

You can't add to Recents manually; you can only clear it. The intent is "history", not "favourites" — that's what Bookmarks are for.

Persistence

Recents persist alongside the rest of the UI state in localStorage (the Zustand persist middleware). Resetting the app via the ErrorBoundary's "Reset app state and reload" button wipes it.
