SeaMonkey Places Bookmarks Try Server Builds

After a few attempts, I have created try server builds with my places bookmarks patches. Note that those are trunk builds with a huge pile of experimental patches on top, so use them with care.

Also note that they should import your bookmarks.html into places.sqlite but that's only done if you have no JSON backups in the "bookmarkbackups" directory of your profile and no bookmarks are in the places database yet (which should be the case in a profile of any previous SeaMonkey version). This also means the import is only done once - if you're using the same profile with other SeaMonkey builds and then use it with a build with places bookmarks again, you need to manually import your bookmarks.html once again - there's an option in the bookmarks manage for that.

Things that should work:

Auto-import of HTML bookmarks (see comments above),
Microsummaries (e.g. when bookmarking a bug list, you can select a "live title" with the bug count in it),
Live Bookmarks (adding feeds as live-updated bookmarks folders),
New personal bookmarks toolbar and bookmarks manager,
And probably more.

Known issues:

Icons of web pages are possibly not fetched when adding bookmarks. If I don't find out how to fix this right now or it's not trivial to fix, this can possibly be done in a followup bug when the main work has landed. Still, it might be trivial, as I think it worked at some stage of my work.
No new UI preferences are added, we will look into that in followup bugs. The backend supports a number of the preferences, though, like adding bookmarks to location bar search results or exporting bookmarks.html automatically. We will probably add UI preferences for those things in followups but will not switch those things on by default.

Having said all that, testing and reporting issues is very much appreciated, here are he builds:

Please test those builds, ideally with copies of real-world profiles (they might destroy anything as they are highly experimental, don't use them with any profile that has no backups) and report any issues you're seeing.

AxL	No thanks No thanks KaiRo. I don't try SeaMonkey Places Bookmarks, because i don't want to use SeaMonkey like piece of shit Firefox. Have a good day! 25.03.2010 17:32
Dove	Thank you Robert for Bookmark places !!! Not All unfortunately know that it is a great compatibility issue for extensions !!! Some modified didn't work - because of using places API for its work. Will wait for tabBrowserAPI implementation in SeaMonkey very much !!! (for support of TabMixPlus-like extensions working) Wish you more people be involved in!!! (By the way, Robert, call misak, he would like to make tabBrowserAPI implementation in SeaMonkey!) 27.03.2010 13:22
InvisibleSmiley aus Frankfurt, Germany	Good start Now with actually complete try server builds it looks quite nice already. Good job! Tested successfully: - opening Bookmarks Manager; default set of bookmarks present - creating bookmarks in BM, including keywords and tags - searching bookmarks in BM and deleting in search mode - BM inline bookmark editing - Undo, Redo - drag & drop from BM to browser content area - middle click on bookmarks folder (open in tabs) - new bookmark, folder, separator - creating bookmark for the current page (Ctrl+D, Ctrl+Alt+D; menu) - creating bookmarks for current tabs (Ctrl+Shift+D; menu) - using keywords (location bar) Not working yet: - context menu Bookmark This Page - bookmarks toolbar (display, drag & drop) - favicons for bookmarks in BM (prefs needed?) - bookmarks sidebar - items in browser Bookmarks menu - BM: Edit / Move (breaks BM) Not tested: - bookmarks in the location bar (is that implemented already?) - Backup, Restore, Import, Export - columns and sorting - auto export on application exit (if corresponding pref set) - first-time auto import of custom bookmarks.html (complex folder hierarchy, groupmarks, Personal Toolbar Folder setting, Imported IE Favorites, ...) - Livemarks This is no criticism, Rome wasn't built in a day either, right? 28.03.2010 23:25
KaiRo Webmaster	Quote of InvisibleSmiley: Not working yet: - context menu Bookmark This Page - bookmarks toolbar (display, drag & drop) - bookmarks sidebar - items in browser Bookmarks menu - BM: Edit / Move (breaks BM) Interesting, those worked in my test locally, but now I am also experiencing problems. Maybe some toolkit change in the mean time, need to look into that. Quote of InvisibleSmiley: - favicons for bookmarks in BM (prefs needed?) As I mentioned in the post, that's known. In the mean time, I filed bug 554908 for it. Quote of InvisibleSmiley: Not tested: - bookmarks in the location bar (is that implemented already?) Needs a pref change, but should work in theory. 29.03.2010 02:01
