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 Mac OS? Apple's Software Update can download it automatically. But someone forgot these tricks when web browsers were developed, and today most web browsers 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, click Sort and within seconds your bookmarks are all in order! Click Analyze to find duplicates and then Fix them. 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 to all your websites, fetch their data, present a report, give you some options on how he can automatically fix bookmarks that have been "redirected", and finally present a handy tool which allows you to quickly review and fix the remainder.
What's new in this version:
- Support for Camino and Firefox web browsers, including the ability to move and copy bookmarks among Safari, Camino and Firefox using drag and drop, preserving all attributes (including Description, Keyword, Last Visited date, etc.) which are supported by the destination browser. Multiple user profiles in Firefox automatically detected and fully supported.
- All bookmarks attributes can be viewed, and those which should be are editable, using Bookdog's new Item Details ("inspector") palette.
- Scheduled daily sorting has been eliminated and replaced by a new feature: Bookwatchdog. Bookwatchdog is a background agent which can be set to sort Safari bookmarks within a minute after any changes are made, to sort Safari, Camino and/or Firefox bookmarks whenever these browsers are quit and/or when you log in. When you run Bookdog 3.0 for the first time, the cron job in your Macintosh account which starts Bookdog's daily Scheduled Run will be deleted. To activate Bookwatchdog, pull down the Preferences pull-down menu in the Main Window of the bookmarks you would like to be automatically sorted.
- Suffix Name tags: (&), (*), and (+) to indicate folders which are forced to be sorted or unsorted, or to indicate "allowed duplicates" are no longer used. Bookdog remembers your indications for individual items in a separate database (in Bookdog's Preferences file). When you run Bookdog 3.0 for the first time, these tags will be removed from your bookmarks.
- In Main Window, checkboxes to Sort folders: in Bookmarks Bar, in Bookmarks Menu, and Other Collections have been eliminated. Since name tags are no longer used, these folders can be marked for sorting even if their parent is unsorted, without using name tags. Since the purpose of these boxes was to avoid unsightly name tags on a large number of folders, they are no longer needed. If you have any of these boxes checked, when you run Bookdog 3.0 for the first time, the subject folders will be marked as "sorted" in Bookdog's database.
- Unlimited Undo and Redo are now available for all add, copy, delete, edit and move operations.
- A new Fetchback self-test feature runs silently whenever a bookmarks file is opened. Fetchback checks that bookmarks can be rewritten exactly as they were read. If it fails, the file load is aborted before any data attributes can be lost, and you are alerted to visit our website's Update page to see if an update is needed. (Fetchback is named after "loopback" utility used by the telecommunications industry to verify the integrity of data communication channels.)
- Bookmarks and folders can be duplicated (press option during a drag & drop).
- New bookmarks and new separator lines can be created. Names can by typed in; urls can be typed or dragged in.
- Preference dialogs have been simplified (due to the elimination of Scheduled Runs), and the interface moved to preference sheets on each Main Window so that they can be set separately for each browser (and each profile in Firefox).
- Fixed bug which caused retest to end prematurely during verification, causing more websites to show up as Broken after Verification. Bookdog 3.0 will show fewer Broken bookmarks.
- Items dropped onto a new unsorted parent folder now go to the top of the folder instead of the bottom, since this is easier to see.
- Fixed bug: In Main Window, drops which move items up within the same family now put the item at the dropped index, instead of one below.
- In Main Window, feedback during and after drag and drop is much better; retargetting of drops proposed for disallowed locations is shown before the drop, dropped items are shown and selected after the drop.
