by Burt-Bachacroix, 5 years agoWhat a uniquely POWERFUL addon! It works VERY WELL INDEED! I can't figure out why strings I place into the "Name Matches" or "Url Matches" fields affect the resulting list not at all.
I'm intermediate at regular expressions and I do understand the intended effects of the "filter, modify or does not effect the search" radio buttons, but these seem to have no effect. Why are my attempts at filtering not working?
It would be great if we didn't have to refresh the page and could have a big fat: APPLY CHANGES BUTTON to quickly test various attempts at filtering.
Thank you for the hard work that went into this fantastic and helpful bookmark addon!

Concerning your failed attempts: This is not an appropriate forum for such a discussion.
Moreover, I have only very limited time to give support. Anyway, you can write me a question with details by private mail or (preferrably, since then also others can profit) on https://github.com/vaeth/bookmarkdupes/issues

- Rated 1 out of 5by Pablo Vieira, 7 months agoI can see duplicates in front of my very eyes. The addon reports "zero found"...
Reply to developer's reply: I just used "Bookmarks clean up" by itwillnotbeasy and it worked like a charm. You might reconsider your current algorithm. Asking users to enter an "expert" mode AND advising to proceed with care is really bad UX design.Developer response
posted 7 months agoAre you sure that they have exactly the same URL, symbol by symbol, up to the very end? Otherwise you might need to use the “Expert mode“ to ignore different aspects of the URL or to use another criteria than the URL to determine duplicates. However, I would not advise you to do so unless you exactly understand what you are doing in this mode, as this might consider much more bookmarks as duplicates than you would like to.
Reply to your reply: By design, the extension does what it says, namely removing duplicate bookmarks. If you want something else - removing *similar* bookmarks - you can get this feature in expert mode; but it lies in the nature of things that this is a very dangerous feature. Especially if you do not understand exactly what is "similar" by the regular expressions you chose, chances are high that you remove bookmarks you actually wanted to keep. If it worked for your use case, that's fine for you, but unless you re-check very carefully manually, chances are high that you remove too much this way. - Rated 5 out of 5by spark9, 7 months agoPerfectly works as intended. Can't thank the creator enough! Deleted my copied bookmarks AND my empty bookmark folders!
