Let TS support smart bookmarks #557

Open exekutive opened 3 hours ago

exekutive commented 3 hours ago

Problem Statement

TS doesn't support smart bookmarks

Preferred Solution(s)

I would love if TS could support smart bookmarks. They could appear as child folders.

Alternative Solution(s)

No response

Additional Context

Examples of smart bookmarks the "Most Visited" folder. Or tag filters (created by copy-pasting them from the tags library, or using the 'place:tag=cuisine' location), or other custom queries (https://developer.mozilla.org.cach3.com/en/Places_query_URIs).

Unfortunately, Firefox itself would have to support this in their extension APIs first. There is currently no way for extensions to know anything about bookmark tags, or see the results of smart-bookmarks queries. While the places: URL in the bookmark itself is visible to Tab Stash, it appears just like any other (non-smart) bookmark in the API.

ah that's too bad. Are there any upstream efforts to implement this in FF?

Not that I'm aware of, but I don't keep a close eye on Mozilla's bug database. I suspect they have a lot that's higher on their priority list at the moment, given they are trying to make some major UI improvements right now.
