Google-chrome – Chrome bookmarks in folder – open all in new windows

bookmarksgoogle-chrome

In chrome (chromium running on Ubuntu 10.04 specifically) is there a way to open all bookmarks in a bookmark folder, each in their own new window? I realize that I could just open them all in tabs, then drag each to its own window, but I'd rather not do that extra step for each window. Is this possible?

Update:

Note, this is different from "open all bookmarks in tabs of a new window" which is what "open tabs in a new window" does.

This isn't the most streamlined way and it's a bit sloppy, but it mostly works. You can edit the URL part of the bookmark with some javascript.

  1. Right click on the bookmarks folder and choose bookmark manager

  2. Right click on each of your bookmarks and choose edit

  3. In the URL section put this code: javascript:window.open("http://URL", "window name", "height=800, width=800, modal=yes, alwaysRaised=yes");

You can change the window name and width/height as needed. It's also important to put the http:// or https:// before the url or it won't work. Now you can right click on the folder and click open all bookmarks and they will all open in new windows. I also have to point out that it will open a number of blank tabs equal to the number of bookmarks in the current window. Don't know why, but it's just one window you can close.
