A Folder structure would make things much easyer. The list would look much cleaner and It would be easyer to find something. In addition it could allow us to override the check interval for the whole folder instead of changing it on all files of a specific website.
Another idea could be to add a global starting and end tag to the folder.
For example: If I want to monitor the price of multiple itemes of the same website the starting and end tag is always the same.

    Thank you for the comments.
    The folder structure hit me also some times. Unfortunately its not an easy change because it requires replacing the core compontent with somthing new including the logic that is based on the core component. So I'll put it on the ToDo list but I am not sure, when I'll have time to do so.

    However, inspired by your comments I added an "insert copy" feature in SVN that will insert a full copy of the item (just with a new GUID) such that you can at least more easily do the things you mentioned. Will be available with the next release.

    I already thought that you have to change some of the structure in order to do so, but I think it would greatly improve the user experience by letting them add hundreds of URLs without feeling lost in the list they created.

    This sounds interesting! I'm looking forward to it :)

    I think this is a good idea provided an item can be part of multiple folders simultaneously, so more of a tag structure.

    "Behind the scenes" I am trying some concepts in that direction but so far I am not yet happy with it. Mainly the UI update and all related options/states/settings are pretty complex and error prone.
