Add option to create snapshots for existing bookmarks #676

Closed nadir-ishiguro closed 5 months ago

nadir-ishiguro commented 6 months ago

Hi, I just gave the new snapshot feature a try and it's wonderful. Thank you very much.

I'm wondering if there's a plan to add an option to create snapshots for multiple or all existing snapshots.

I second this!

Absolutely loving the snapshot feature, huge thanks to everyone who worked on it.

I would also love to see this FR implemented. Perhaps it could be done as one of the bulk actions?

That's exactly what I had in mind.

I wonder how people would use such a feature. Would they only use it once to create snapshots for bookmarks that were created before migrating to the linkding version that automatically creates snapshots? In that case a button in the settings might be enough, which would only create snapshots for bookmarks that don't have a (successful) snapshot yet.

Or is there a specific use-case where you would specifically want to create new snapshots for a selection of bookmarks, even though they might already have one? Note that a bookmark can have multiple snapshots, so the bulk action should probably always create a new one. But that I feel that's not the intention here.

This is the primary reason I'm interested in this feature, and a button in the settings would suffice just fine.

I find this idea interesting, but it's unimportant to me. For this, I'd rather have a schedule (like, re-snapshot pages yearly.) But I'd also probably only want to target specific tags for this.

The only other reason I can imagine wanting to use the bulk action is perhaps to choose specific links after filtering (e.g. maybe there's no point in fetching YouTube pages.)

FWIW, I don't care if I accidentally create a few duplicates using the bulk action. I have enough storage space not to worry about it.
