library bookmark URL missing view suggestion gpd4

    For each bookmark, my library shows the domain.
    I don't need the domain at the library level;
    if I want more from the domain, I'll go
    library --> meta --> other bookmarks from the site

    In my library, there is no way to see the URL of a bookmark.
    This is a problem.

    Suggestion

    When I flick the three-way switch to the right, to pro edit (management) view:

    * the professional view of my library should show the URL.

    Since Diigo 4.0 beta has introduced support for
    #
    with consequential variety of bookmarks for a single page (or for near-identical content), it's extremely important for my library to allow me to differentiate between the duplicates.

    Observation

    When I filter my library to view bookmarks from a site, for example
    http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin?dm=simple&domain=identi.ca
    then something like the URL appears for each bookmark
    however use of ellipses

    (to indicate the parts of the URL that are not shown)
    is inconsistent.

    Refined suggestion (examples)

    Where
    identi.ca/12724787
    is an abbreviated representation of
    http://identi.ca/conversation/12724787
    then a better representation should be
    identi.ca/…12724787

    Where
    identi.ca/...12255417
    is an abbreviated representation of
    http://identi.ca/conversation/12255417#notice-12255743
    then a better representation should be
    identi.ca/… 12255417#…12255743

    Rationale

    It's increasingly important to see what's before and after the
    #
    part of a URL.

    http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin?dm=advanced&domain=identi.ca
    (the advanced display mode; the pro edit (professional) mode)
    should not abbreviate URLs.

    The professional view should allow me to view URLs, unabbreviated.
