Tags are not being synced #28

Open talmage opened 6 years ago

talmage commented 6 years ago

Please implement two-way syncing so that changes I make to my bookmarks in Firefox are copied to Nextcloud.

I think I observed that when I make a change to a bookmark (e.g. adding a tag), the change is copied into the corresponding bookmark in the Owncloud folder. I haven't observed that this change is copied to Nextcloud. Nextcloud Bookmarks shows me no new tags, for example, even after I reload the page.

Hey @talmage, the problem is not with the syncing, but with the addon API. The addon cannot access tags at the moment (until Firefox adds support for that), so that's why they're not synced :(

talmage commented 6 years ago

Tags aren't synced in either direction? Not from Firefox to Nextcloud and not from Nextcloud to Firefox?

marcelklehr commented 6 years ago

Yes, unfortunately that's how it is at the moment.

For reference to those who may be interested, some discussion about implementing tags and annotation support in WebExtensions can be found here: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/webextensions-bookmarks-tags-annotations-come-on/20593

See upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225916

Citing from the aforementioned bug: "ETA is this quarter, unless we hit huge roadblocks." :tada:

Dang they still haven't fixed this upstream :( I guess I'll just have to wait! I was using raindrop.io briefly but then I saw this solution and since I already have a personal nextcloud server it seemed most ideal.

Not (yet) an user, came here because this issue was referenced in the bugzilla issue. Maybe voting the issue up can help have more visibility and quicker fix ?

So three years later and still no tag-sync? Is there any technical reason, why Mozilla would not allow syncing tags (from a common sense standpoint, it sounds kind of ... not so smart)?

jcklpe commented 4 years ago

@nousernameavailableanymore Mozilla is kinda dysfunctional these days from what I can tell. I tried volunteering for a UX Design of Thunderbird and it's a total shitshow. They have a lot of trouble making meainingful changes to the feature set or UX. They have a lot of legacy users who don't want anything to change, and then they've got pressure from the foundation to turn a profit so the only stuff that gets attention is the attempts at monetizing the browser. A failed project to begin with I think.

Which browsers currently support tag synchronization? With Google Chrome or even the new Microsoft Edge Chromium it doesn't seem to work either, does it? Unfortunately, without tags or subfolders it is not possible to keep track of bookmarks.

marcelklehr commented 4 years ago

@micson82 Floccus currently doesn't support tags, because the WebExtension standard doesn't support them. Thus syncing tags currently doesn't work in any browser with floccus. Subfolders are synced however.
