My Bookmark Manager, finished version?

Post by susan »

This is a more polished version of my bookmark manager. It can import the Bookmarks Toolbar bookmarks after exporting to HTML from Firefox and Chromium browsers.

Other features are:

* Adding tags to bookmarks
* Search based on bookmark name and tags
* Can launch bookmark in any browser, not just the system default
* New, edit, delete and move commands

Limitations:
* Limit on maximum number of bookmarks (between 3000 and 4000)
* Folders can only be nested to 2 levels

After using My Bookmark Manager for a few days, I decided that I wanted to add a few more features to make it more convenient to use.

Improvements are:

* A search menu that remembers the 5 previous searches
* An option to search within the URL for a match
* The ability to jump to the original bookmark item when in the search results

Nice work, thank you for sharing...

Not sure if the 'Return' key should start an URL or not (I'd like it) but anhow there's a small issue in the 'on_urllaunch' procedure. You noted already '; only works when there are no spaces in the browser path' but I'd remove that test or do a quick workaround and allow to enclose the browser path in doublequotes.

Code: Select all

; only works when there are no spaces in the browser path (C:\Programs\Mozilla~1\firefox.exe) or ...
; ... the path is enclosed in doublequotes ("C:\Programs\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")
 If FindString(path, " ") > 0 And Left(path,1)<>#DOUBLEQUOTE$
     exePath = leftAtCh(path, " ")
     argument = rightAtCh(path, " ")
     path = exePath
     url = argument + " " + url
 EndIf

Thank you for the feedback!

I have made improvements which are:

* When setting the browser, there is now an extra line for the arguments, which avoids the need to scan and split the command line that starts the browser. (which means, if there is already a path set with an argument, the set browser command must be used to correctly fill in the lines)
* When search results are shown, the tree is made the active gadget to allow navigating with the up and down arrow keys, and launching the selected bookmark with the Enter key.
