I'd love to be able to search incremental. So first, show only places containing ".se" in their URL, then further reduce to those containing "uni" in title/description and then further filter to only those containing the tag "todo". Then save this as saved search. Maybe too sophisticated (=> extension) but maybe just another reason to use FF "places" instead of web2.0 pages (which are not able to do this to full extend, so searches including history) --[[User:Schoschi|Schoschi]] 17:40, 25 June 2006 (PDT) | I'd love to be able to search incremental.

== Scrambled Notes about Bookmarks:Rethinking == | |||
First of all, it is a very nice proposal and contains many good solutions for new functions. Thank you. | |||
* Hopefully the chrome hack like this chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksManager.xul will still show the Places window in a tab and did not get lost in transition to 2.0/3.0. | |||
* Autolinks: I'm not so excited about it because all systems with automated population I know are never transparent. You never know when an item will appear and when it will suddenly disappears. I understand the intention but I'm not sure if it is reliable for the target group. | |||
* "old system of bookmarking" worked actually well as flat list with manual tagging and annotating (see items at http://tdot.blog-city.com) ! But having said that I'm glad to see that Firefox may provide support such as auto-complete for tags etc. so that random variations of tags can be avoided. | |||
* Bookmarks Menu/Sidebar can be extremely valuable for a small number of favorite websites (for details please see http://tdot.blog-city.com/rethinking_bookmarks_ui.htm) | |||
* Inbox/to-do list: single click bookmarking sounds great if it is an alternative but not the only way. The to-do list would not be appropriate after I read a website and decide to bookmark it. Or can I use a different way of bookmarking to avoid putting it in the Inbox. Its function seems more the typical Recent rather than an Inbox. | |||
* What I always missed was the description field in the bookmarks manager. It is basically invisible but could have been a good place for notes. My solution for the problem was to change the title field manually and put everything in using some separators : Title -- tags ;; annotations. This was so far very efficient for the existing bookmarking system. But I'm wondering if a list similar to the style of del.icio.us, Google, or reddit would be better than the table format. | |||
* tag lists can grow really big and it takes a lot of time to scroll long vertical lists. Look for a del.icio.us account with a long list and try to work with it. How much time does it take you? But I use tags primarily for search anyway. | |||
* Notes integration looks great. Search must include title, (URL: recommend), tags, and notes! | |||
* Viewing Notes: a del.icio.us like output seems a better solution and could integrate very well with bookmarks. To illustrate what I mean follow these two links: http://de.lirio.us/rubric/entries/tags/delirioussiteblog?long_form=1 http://de.lirio.us/rubric/entries/tags/delirioussiteblog The first links shows the complete item while the second link reduces it to the bookmark with a short summary. For Firefox I think three levels would be perfect: single line (bookmark + tags?), four lines (bookmark + tags + two lines of the notes), long form (incudes complete notes/annotations) | |||
* It would be great if the text in notes would appear highlighted in the website when I revisit it. But this may interfere with manual notes. URLex could do the trick but I would like to have a copy of an interesting text snippet in my notes in case the link is broken some day. | |||
* Editing of bookmarks, tags, notes: Having editable title, tags, and notes fields for the selected bookmark is excellent. But if a dynamic HTML page as bookmarks layout would be better than inline editing as it is used by del.icoi.us or by TiddlyWiki would be perfect. | |||
* Check bookmarks: Having a few thousand bookmarks dead links come up once in a while and are easily deleted when I notice the website is gone. But more importantly a server can be down temporarily and I do not want to loose important bookmarks by an automated bookmark cleaner. | |||
* incremental search: the problem with Firefox is only that it takes the search field as one string instead of a space separated list with a default AND operator. Also Mozilla/Firefox always destroyed the order of bookmarks so I wrote my own search as bash script that generates a dynamic HTML ant loads it in a Firefox tab (see http://tdot.blog-city.com/firefox_hacks_bm_search.htm). | |||
