Bookdog Version 5.1.26
2008 Sep 02
SUMMARY. Fix for Firefox 3 users who wish to retain duplicate bookmarks, improvements to AppleScriptability, Automator actions, and other bug fixes.
- Now allows duplicate bookmarks when saving to Firefox 3. This is thanks to the astute observation of a user who noted that, although Firefox 3 silently deletes the older bookmark when you create a new one using "Bookmark this Page", it does allow you to create duplicates in its Organize Bookmarks page using copy and paste.
- Now supports scheduling migrations using a new AppleScript, Bookdog Migration Scheduler, which uses launchd, as an alternative to scheduling Automator workflows as iCal Plug-Ins. For info see the revised documentation on this subject.
- The Automator Action Migrate Unilaterally now has controls to edit the create folders from tags and add parent names as tags properties of a migration document. These new properties are significant in migrations involving Firefox 3.
- The Automator Actions Migrate Unilaterally and Migrate Bilaterally now quit the source and destination browsers if necessary before performing their migration. (Quitting is necessary for all browsers except Safari.)
- In menu > File > My Macintosh Account, the browsers listed have now been checked for existence of a bookmarks file exists instead of just existence of browser application. In particular, if Firefox 3 users now delete their 'bookmarks.html' file produced by Firefox 2, Firefox 2 will no longer be listed in this menu. (If you would like to do this, open your Firefox 2 bookmarks in Bookdog, then click in the menu File > Document Information, read the File Path, activate Finder and delete the file at this File Path, then close the document in Bookdog without saving.)
- Fixed a bug which could cause Bookdog to hang when performing a "Save As..." operation with OmniWeb bookmarks.
- Fixed a bug which caused Bookdog to hang instead of issuing a warning after finding over 32,768 duplicate pair combinations.
- Removed some extraneous Access Control Entries (ACE) in the Access Control Lists (ACL) of two files (AmpEscapes.plist and BookdogBark.aiff) in Bookdog's Contents/Resources. These would sometimes cause disk backup operations to fail, particularly when using Carbon Copy Cloner.
