Replace bookmark #33

Open jathri opened 8 years ago

jathri commented 8 years ago

When I load page from bookmarks, sometimes (so often to make this request) it is loaded with https instead of http or with http://www.address... instead of http://justaddress... (Or otherwise.) So the page is not bookmarked anymore. Could you please somehow address it with your addon? I would like to be able to quickly update old bookmark. Possible solution: I middle click your toolbar button and script somehow gets id of last opened bookmark and replace its content (title, url...) with content from currently active tab. Many thanks for considering my request.

Do you not see the http-less bookmark in the list of the candidates to replace, when you click on the toolbar button?

jathri commented 8 years ago

I do not. It seems that your addon does not support .to country domain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.to

Could you look into it, please?

jathri commented 8 years ago

And regarding this "https-less bookmark" issue (see also my first post, it is updated in this aspect), I can see the candidates but there are too many of them. Would you please consider following proposal: To add "same title only" checkbox here https://i.imgur.com/tQH1Ce7.jpg so as to restrict the candidates only to truly relevant one(s). Or at least sort them according to their name (title) similarity, instead of URLs. Note: I do not want to list current domain as a special domain. I do want to sort the candidates in this way only when needed.

EDIT: Alternatively it would be nice to let user choose way of filtering. Acoording to 1) url/domain or 2) title. Then user would be able to choose way of sorting: a) by relevance or b) just alphabetically. It would also be nice to see a title of the current tab somewhere here: https://i.imgur.com/Bu84B7H.jpg It would be hlepful when a lot of tabs are open and titles can not be seen clearly anymore. Many thanks for considering my proposal.

PART OF ADDON DESCRIPTION: When you click on the icon (or use the shortcut), it builds a list of bookmarks from the same domain as the current URL, sorts them by similarity, and gives you a prompt to choose.

Can I please ask how this sorting (by similarity) works? Thank you.

Could you post an example URL?

Why not URLs? The sorting only takes the path into account, not the protocol or the domain. I though in your case only the protocol was different?

Please, try to bookmark first link, then load second and click your addons toolbar button. Nothing happens. (At least for me.)

So there is no difference between links below for sorting?

I will, thanks.

Yes. Does you experience say different?

dgutov commented 8 years ago

OK, I've tried it out, and everything works as expected.

@j-t-r2 Do you still see the problem? Does something appear in the Error Console when you click on the button? Press Ctrl+Shift+J to open the console.
