Custom descriptions are overwritten #13

Closed jathek closed 12 years ago

jathek commented 12 years ago

I use custom descriptions for some bookmarks, and this extension overwrites those descriptions with the default one whenever I replace a bookmark. This makes the extension basically unusable for me. For example, on userstyles.org bookmarks I note in the description of the bookmark any modifications I've made to the style. When I update the bookmark, the notes I've made are deleted.

Reproduce:

  1. Bookmark page.
  2. Write "test" in description.
  3. Use replace bookmark on page.
  4. Check description, which will be page default, not "test"

AFAIK, there is no way to tell if the description is custom or not. I'll add an option not to touch them, but in the meantime, you can install the version 1.3.9. Just disable automatic updating on its options page, so it doesn't revert to the latest.

So, see the new pref in 1.4.2.
