Product Description:

Computers know their A-B-Cs and how to keep up to date. For example, you can throw files into a folder, hit View as List" and the Macintosh Finder will display them in alphabetical order. Is there an update to the MacOS? Apple's Software Update will tell you about it. But someone forgot these tricks when web browsers were developed, and today most web browsers, Safari included, do no automatic sorting (alphabetizing) or other maintenance of your bookmarks.

Bookdog, the successor of the popular SafariSorter application, knows these tricks so that organized people like you will no longer have to spend time alphabetizing and maintaining your bookmarks manually.

After you install Bookdog, you spend a few minutes adjusting how you want your bookmarks sorted (or just accept the default of sort everything, by name), click Sort and within seconds your bookmarks are all in order! Browse the Bookmarks Outline to make a few tweaks, reorganize if you want to, and sort again. Done! Just give Bookdog a time when you'd like your bookmarks re-sorted every day, and he will silently re-sort to include any new bookmarks you've added. Automatically. Do you seem to have alot of bookmarks that don't work anymore? Tell Bookdog to Verify. He'll go fetch all your bookmarks, present a comprehensive report, give you some options on how he can automatically fix the ones that have been "redirected", and finally an easy-to-use dialog which allows you to quickly review and fix the remainder.

Atta boy! Finally, you see the intelligence you knew your Mac was capable of!

What's new in this version:

  • Main Window now accepts drag-and-drops of ".webloc" file(s) generated by Safari to create new bookmarks.
  • Main Window was also visited by our Cosmetology Department...
    • "Set Sorted" and "Set Unsorted" buttons are now colored green and red respectively, like the sorted and unsorted folder backgrounds, giving newbies a nice big hint as to what they do.
    • Improved graphics and messages in the three status fields near the bottom of the drawer.
    • Decreased the width of the area triggering the tooltip explaining how to use the disclosure triangles, so this tooltip does not pop up as often.
    • In Verify Progress drawer, fixed label which had a word "Outstanding" halfway cut off on some Macs.
    • Find button is now push-on/push-off so it can be used to close the Find drawer as well as to open it.
    • In Find drawer, the arrow on the "Close" drawer now points down when the drawer opens on the top of the window.
    • The Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu now always sort to the top of the list of collections, as they do in Safari, even if another folder begins with "A".
    • "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu" now appear with spaces between words instead of "BookmarksBar" and "BookmarksMenu".
  • In Preferences, Scheduled Runs, time controller is now disabled (grayed out) if no scheduled sorting days are enabled (check-boxed).
  • In Menu, corrected "Quit Bookdog" and "Select All" to read correctly in German and Italian.
  • Improved ability to read corrupted bookmarks files.
  • Improved German translations of about a dozen text strings.
  • When scheduled daily run detects duplicates to display, it now opens the Fix Duplicates window instead of the Main Window.  Buttons to edit the displayed bookmarks have been addded to the Fix Duplcates window.  (These buttons take the user to the Main Window.)
  • Fixed a bug introduced in version 2.2 which prevented the daily scheduled run from occurring if the user was not the console user.  To clarify: In Mac OS 10.3 and 10.4, although many users (or zero users) may be logged in, only one of them may be the "current console user", who is the person whose name is at the top right-hand corner of the screen (next to the Spotlight icon in 10.4).  Bookdog's scheduled runs do not require the user to be logged in, and do not require the user to be the current console user.
  • Last but not least, we have a new application icon, well-designed by Jason Cozy!
