Songbird Bookmarks stevel

Adds bookmarking capabilities to Songbird


Description

We're working on a new servicepane which will completely remove all the old bookmarks, so I've created this as a way to migrate old bookmarks to a new home. Super rudimentary add/remove bookmark button is available in the navigation toolbar.

There is no way to rename bookmarks (they take the name from the HTML document title), or any real "management" beyond the add/remove button.




Release Notes

  • add a try/catch block so one bookmark won't abort the whole process

Thanks for making the add-on! I was wondering if you could make an option to have Bookmarks as a separate menu entry, instead of in the service pane, i always wanted them there...

Removing the bookmarks is the right step, the service pane is too cluttered up with items. Bosh's idea seems by far the best option, please consider it.

while we're at reshuffling the bookmark, how could a personal bookmark bar à la firefox integrate in Songbird layout?
This, with an option menu, is the last thing I miss to browse with Songbird only!

All great ideas.. :) But for now I'm only focusing on restoring the previous UI as I take it out of Purple Rain. boosh's idea of a bookmarks menu would be a fairly straight-forward code change if someone is interested in taking it on...

You could also use the code from Firefox no ?

Thanks to this add-on. I don't understand *at all* why this function was EVER removed. Thank you!

Hello.
I have installed your addon to songbird 1.4.3x. I can see the Bookmarks at the left pane as normal but no the "+" that should be near to the search place. How can i add my bookmarks then?

MacLone: you have to drag the tab to the Bookmarks list.

Thank you so much for creating this. I would have never found some of my bookmarks again and there had been no warning they were going to disappear with the update.

Hi Stevel
I've updated the addon on SB 1.8.0a, and bookmarks are totally gone: no node, no menu entry, no button. Did I miss anything?
Thanks :)

Hmmm that doesn't sound right. Can you check the error console? See anything awry?

Nothing special in the console!
Only this error:
Erreur : formatURL: Couldn't find value for key: 20and
Fichier Source : file:///C:/Program%20Files/Songbird-1.8.0a/components/sbURLFormatter.js
Ligne : 267

Same thing happens with a fresh profile.

Looks like an overlay issue with Windows. It work fine on Mac.. I'll try and debug it when I get a Windows machine available. (probably Monday)

Thanks stevel. It does actually work with a fresh new profile, but I can't get it working with my old upgraded profile (all in 1.8a)

@klint: Hrm, interesting. Any chance you could zip up your profile to send to me to try and debug?

Actually, I did a few tests all the same, and the Nightly Tester Tools seems to be the one that is causing the issue (version 2.5a6pre): disabling it solves it.

Thanks

@dj1917: don't you have a new "Bookmarks" entry in the menu at the top of the window?

Same question here : how can we add bookmarks ?

Actually running a 1.7.2b version, with a tweaked install.rdf of this addon. The Bookmark menu appears, but neither drag'n'drop nor wathever clever keyboard shortcut works.

Removing a feature before providing any replacement, that sounds more Gnome-ish ;-) (sorry for that easy troll)

If you go to a webpage you should see a +/- icon button in the navigation bar next to the home button. That's how you add/remove bookmarks.

Isn´'t there some way to import bookmarks? its really driving me crazy. I really want to use songbird, but small things like this just makes me give up on it.

@stevel: Hi! Can I have bookmarks on the service pane please, like in earlier version? Could you add option to show/hide Bookmarks node in the service pane please? The menu entry is a good idea, but I personally prefer have bookmarks in the service pane. More comfortable to me.
And context menu options for the menu entry would be useful with "Properties", "Delete", "Organize" menuitems.

Just installed Songbird 1.7.2 and it seems I cant install this due to version incompatibility (but your release notes say this should work through v1.8) -- confused!

@stevel
There is no version of this addon that fits with 1.7.3 (either 1.4 or 1.8, but no 1.7)
Would you mind adding a new version that would be compliant with 1.7.3 (I think 0.1.1 works fine with it).
Thanks a lot :)

works with Songbird 1.7.3 (as far as I use the addon), when using the following:

@stevel:
could you please update the max version to 1.9.x?
Also, would it be possible that you add some features to this essential addon, like bookmark editing and also bookmarks folders?
Thanks

Same request here. Can you upgrade this for 1.9? Great add-on, and I was wondering why it's not included as a default feature for songbird.

Thanks!
