Product Description:

Computers are able to organize things for you. For example, you can throw files into a folder and the Macintosh Finder will display them in alphabetical order. But someone lost the recipe when web browsers were developed, and today most web browsers, Safari included, do no automatic sorting of bookmarks. SafariSorter does the sorting so that organized people like you will no longer have to spend time alphabetizing your bookmarks manually, and also helps you to manage duplicate bookmarks.

SafariSorter is not compatible with Tiger. SafariSorter has been succeeded by Bookdog 1.0, which is compatible with Mac OS 10.2 to Mac OS 10.4.

What's new in this version:

  • Stays hidden during sorting if required by the daily automatic launch.
  • Handles an unreadable bookmarks file with an informative error alert instead of crashing.
  • No longer repeatedly thanks user when updating from version 3.1.
  • Adding and deleting items in the table in Preferences is now done using buttons, as in other Mac applications.
  • Operating System Requirements:

    This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

    • Mac OS X 10.3
    • Mac OS X 10.2

    Additional Requirements:

    • Mac OS X 10.2 - 10.3.8 only
    • Safari

    SafariSorter Usage TipNeed to use PLUTIL under 10.4.x - Version: 3.11, 10/11/2005 05:50PM PST

    Many .plist files are now binary encoded, rather than the tradional XML format. SafariSorter doesn't understand the new binary format. You'll need to use the PLUTIL command in the TERMINAL app for change the format of the bookmarks.plist file from binary to XML, and then back again after SafariSorter has done its work.

    In TERMINAL, type 'man plutil' for more info.

    'plutil -convert xml1 bookmarks.plist', then use SafariSorter, then 'plutil -convert binary1 bookmarks.plist'. Cheers, Al

    Love SafariSorter, but latest version won't work with Tiger. Says it can't read my bookmarks, which are all Safari bookmarks. What happened to this great little app?
