Could you clarify that? Pardon me for the attachments. The attachment was meant for bug id #449738 To clarify, I think best practice would be to store bookmarks in XBEL format, just like Midori and Otter Browser do. So this is about Falkon? It is about uniformity in order to ease the process of migrating data from one software to another. XBEL, as a default, seems to be the best choice. Here's my challenging case: I was bound to Mozilla Firefox for over 5 years, due to the software specific was places.sqlite is designed and due to having over 50,000 bookmark entries (which only increased by the hour) and I had no idea how to migrate to another software which would satisfy my needs, preserve my entire data intact and work under Linux. The only software that finally lured me out of Mozilla was buku, as it had all the necessities that I needed, and even more useful components provided by complement software that have increased my productivity and most importantly, my own physical mobility. Thanks to buku <https://github.com/jarun/buku>, I now spend 40% lesser time at offices, soho, and home (which up until recently was around 5 hours) because now I can allow myself to utilize my bookmarks, safely, when I'm outdoors with ARM based devices and SBC machines. If Mozilla would have choose XBEL when they have release Firefox 3, as they really should have, instead of releasing places.sqlite to increase user's dependency on Mozilla (Sorry, Mozilla, that's not the open-source spirit), I wouldn't have had to suffer as much as I have all these years, and I would not have had to spend over $2,000 for hardware that would handle the inefficient and expensive way that Firefox makes it's search inside the places.sqlite file which is causing for high CPU consumption and I/O rate. Now I'm proud to join a precious person I know for a long time and say "so long... and thanks for all the..." http://www.andyhalford.com/syncplaces/ Bottom line, I'm for the Portability of data between various of applications. It is *inconceivably* crucial. You reported this bug for "keditbookmarks", which is a tool to edit the bookmarks database of KDE applications like Dolphin and Konqueror. Those bookmarks *are* stored in XBEL format, so once again I'm asking you what exactly you think is missing I beg your pardon. I didn't notice it. I've used keditbookmarks for bookmarks I have imported from HTML. I've not found a way to use tags. Am I missing the tag feature or should I open a new bug? |
