pubblicato il 5 anni faHello smooth operator, thank you.
In the order, for the 3 first:
- Right click on the magnifing glass in the search box, and click on "Open BSP2 in a tab" .. you'll get what you want :-) (I will make it a more visible menu in a further release)
- As said in response to a review below, that works with Linux, but not with Windows. This is a bug open on Firefox -> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1502713 ... need to wait for FF bug correction.
- "Show bookmark" is the default action when clicking on a search result. Also shown in the context menu when right clicking on a search result. That action scrolls the main panel to where is located the bookmark item corresponding to the result.
Thanks, aaFn.

My access to GitHub doesn’t work, hope you don’t mind my asking here:
(FireFox on Macbook)
• There is a delay of about 1 second when drag-n-dropping a link into a folder.
• Also, after “New Folder”, the first attempt at d&d’ing an existing Bookmark into it always fails and sometimes(?) calls up the link in the active tab.
• On “Bookmark Tab(s) Here”, when saving a bookmark into a new folder (ctrl-right click), the folder name is limited to 30 characters, whereas “New folder…” does not have this limit. For now, the workaround is to use the “Properties” submenu to change to a longer name. You told me (quite:) a while ago it would be easy to discard that limit, as I think you did for “New Folder…”. Could you please increase/discard this limit too?Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 3 mesi faHello @vlad, indeed it would be easier to continue the conversation on https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues, but let's see how far we can go here.
First, I do not have a Macbook, so I rely on a virtual MacOS in a VM, that might introduce differences.
Second, my MacOS VM is on Monterey 12.2.1, that might also be a difference with you.
Anyway, based on FF 129.0.1, and on BSP2 v2.0.129, I am not able to reproduce any of the 3 symptoms you mention:
- d&d of links or tabs or existing bookmarks in a folder, new or existing, is immediate, and no error on my side
- the second symptom makes me think of a regression I fixed in 2.0.129, can you make sure that you have the latest BSP2 version ?
- on the third, I must say I am puzzled .. the right click menu [not Ctrl-right click] has indeed "Bookmark Tab Here" [without the "(s)" part on "Tab", only one tab, the current one], but it does not ask for a folder name, it does not create one, and it has no limit to 30 characters on the folder name where the bookmark is created from the current tab, nor on the bookmark name itself. If you keep Ctrl pressed when clicking on the action, the properties menu opens on bookmark creation to ask you to modify the name, and here also, no 30 characters limit (and frankly, there was never such a limit in my code !).
So net is that I am not able to reproduce the problems, or maybe I need a litte more precision, sorry to be slow if so. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 13385186, 3 mesi faThis is what Firefox's bookmark manager should've been. Love this addon

pubblicato il 4 mesi faHello @davey foxx, the need for each permission is explained here, in detail for each:
https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/wiki/Permissions-and-Privacy-policy
In short, these are mostly due to shortcomings or limitations in Firefox, unfortunately
(a number of them are depending on bugzilla's to be corrected so that I can drop the need for the authorization). - Valutata 5 su 5di RKN, 6 mesi fa
- Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 15131334, 6 mesi faexcellent tool. gave it 4 stars but it's 4.99. that missing 0.01 point is for the icon that i find a bit unaesthetic and doesn't compliment the usefulness of this tool. may i suggest you change it to a more minimalitic design that matches the mozilla icons? hope you will consider, would definetly bring it to a flawless 5 stars for me. thank you for making this great little tool.
Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 6 mesi faHello, thank you, any suggestion ? (if you can place that in https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues)
My skills on icon design are not the best :-)
The idea is to keep a reference / similarity to the FF bookmarks icon, with something showing a "plus", and easily distinguishable from the standard FF bookmarks icon. - Valutata 5 su 5di Laura, 8 mesi faThank you so much for making this, there's surprisingly little support for regex searching your bookmarks for some reason, which I would've thought a lot of people need/want to do. Handy little tool :)
Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 8 mesi faWelcome, and indeed, regex is quite useful. However, not so many people know how to use it, so I guess this is only for a fraction of users :-)

Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il un anno faHello, sorry for the problem, and strange that you cannot even uninstall it, that would suggest a Firefox problem maybe.
Would you mind opening an issue on https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues, with a screenshot of the Firefox Add-ons page, and also indicating to me which version of Firefox this is, on which OS ?
Also, could I ask you to go to the Options page of the add-on, activate the Traces option, and then would you agree applying this procedure https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/wiki#debugging-bsp2--reporting-errors and report me the errors or messages that you see ?
Thank you in advance, and again sorry for the inconvenience, aaFn. - Valutata 5 su 5di Stromfeldt, un anno fa
- Valutata 5 su 5di nur, un anno faIndispensable add-on.
One small problem when I (mistakenly) open two Properties dialogs for the same bookmark.
1. Create a bookmark "testA" and press Save.
2. Right-click the bookmark "testA" and open Properties. Let's call this dialog2.
3. Right-click the bookmark "testA" again and open Properties. Let's call this dialog3.
4. Edit the title of dialog3 to "testB" and Save. The bookmark correctly changes to "testB".
5. Switch the focus to dialog2.
6. Don't edit dialog2 and just press its Cancel or X button. It will close.
7. But then, the bookmark automatically changes its title back to "testA".
I expect it to keep "testB", because I pressed Cancel for dialog2.
(Reply to Developer response):
Yes, limiting property windows to single instances sounds better.
Additional note. I called it a "dialog", but unlike modal dialogs, it is actually a non-modal window, and this is very convenient because I can copy and paste multiple text and URL from the browser's webpage into the properies, and vice versa. I can even swap multiple portions between two bookmarks. So keep it non-modal, if possible.
(Reply to update 05/11/2023)
Dialog in 2.0.119 works as expected.
I also add my thanks for your implementing the Undo feature.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il un anno faHello, thank you.
I guess I see in fact 2 changes to do here:
- when opening properties, if already open, re-focus on the already open one instead of opening a second one (I will verify this is possible)
- currently, when changing the value of a field in the property window, the bookmark value is immediately changed = this was the old behavior of FF when I created the add-on some years ago, a bit strange but this is what it was .. and so I mimicked it .. and so Cancel is restoring the old values when opening the property window.
However, this behavior now changed in FF, so I will look at going back to a more natural flow, where values are only changed when pressing "Save" (and so Cancel should do nothing, as the name says).
============ update 05/11/2023 ===========
Both changes made in 2.0.119 which is out now. Let me know on https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues if any problem.
And yes, this is non modal. And by the way, it can't be modal, as the FF Web extension (add-ons) API does not allow modal windows as of today, to my knowledge.
Thank you, aaFn. - Valutata 5 su 5di akasico1, un anno fa
- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 12824412, un anno faGoergeous tool! Been looking for regex and some "show-my-bookmark-in-its-tree-location" functionality. And 'bmsp2' has both. Thank you very much, Chris

- Valutata 4 su 5di fireman0909, 2 anni faThere is a problem with the way the favicon is obtained.
First, open a bookmark that has already acquired a favicon.
Then open another bookmark in the same tab before the page finishes loading.
Then the acquired favicon disappears.
Please fix this problem.
------------------------
The above issue seems to have been resolved. thank you.
However, there was another problem.
Unable to open external file bookmarks.
for example,
file:///D:/Download/WebScrapBook/data/20230405010758065/index.html
I can't open bookmarks starting with 'file:///' like this.
Please fix it.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 2 anni faHello @fireman0909, yes, I fixed the issue as I initially answered to your comment I believe (but this edit doesn't show anymore, not sure why).
On the second problem you mention, this is because of Firefox security policy = it doesn't allow add-ons to open such URLs, as I documented in the Limitations section of the add-on. This cannot be changed.
Thank you, aaFn. - Valutata 5 su 5di Cr8zy_Ivan, 2 anni faThe Firefox Bookmark Sidebar already kicks butt. This Add-On takes it to a whole new level. I am seriously impressed (🡰 Initial Review - 2023-03-28).
Edit (2023-07-27). After 4 months of use now, I just keep getting blown away by how amazing this Add-On is. More often than not in reviews, through time, ratings go down. I believe this is the first time I've actively come back to a review to praise it even more. If I could give a 6 star rating, I would. Amazing job aaFn. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 14360676, 2 anni fa
