Feature Request: Store link meta-data in the bookmark itself (ie logo url, etc for use with foxmarks)
elBradford —Sun, 03/01/2009 - 13:12
Hello!
I really like this program. I use firefox on 3 different computers. I use foxmarks to automatically syncronize between all my computers. Whenever I syncronize to a new firefox, my fast dial settings aren't transferred, even though the icons are (because all the fast dial book marks are found in the Fast Dial folder, and is syncronized by foxmarks).
I would suggest that you change fast dial to save the link meta-data, like the icon url and other settings, in the bookmark itself. I don't know how much info on each bookmark you can access, but could append a string or something to the keyword or description fields of the bookmark, or if possible, simply append it to the bookmark file itself.
This would be a great implementation for those of us who use foxmarks and fast dial.

Please excuse me I am not a user of Foxmarks
But my understanding is that Foxmarks synchrosises only the Bookmarks in Firefox.
If you are starting a new Firefox profile in a computer, have you not considered for example backing up with FEBE your present complete working Profile, and then restoring that same Profile to your new Firefox.
Would that not simplify the matter.
Or am I missing something ?
Many thanks

Fast Dial stores its data as bookmark "annotation". Annotations are a way for addons to store bookmark metadata in Firefox 3. Probably Foxmarks doesn't support annotations.

telega, wouldn't that allow foxmarks to backup the fast dial bookmarks WITH their logos? :O
or are the logos not stored in annotations?
