Note from developer: Recently, Bookdog updates have been less frequent, and bug fixes only. This is because we're working full time on Bookdog's successor application, BookMacster. (The link has been tested and works this time.) Availability will be announced on this feed. Crossgrade pricing for Bookdog users will depend on how long you've used Bookdog, beginning with zero (free) for recent purchasers. BookMacster will require Mac OS X version 10.5 or later.
Bookdog Version 5.3.3
2009 Jun 14
SUMMARY. This version is the 'final' result of the 5.3.2 beta. Taken together, these two releases provide support for Opera version 10 and also fix a few bugs.
- Fixed an omission in the 5.3.2 beta: Now automatically supports Opera 10 for those Opera 10 users who never used Opera 9.
- Fixed a bug in the Migrate Bilaterally action which caused AppleScript to display a dialog if either end of the migration was Firefox.
Mac OS 10.3 users should not install this update. More info.
Bookdog Version 5.3.2 (beta)
2009 Jun 12
- Added an option for switching from Opera 9 to Opera 10. (After Opera 10 has been run once, a dialog will appear the next time you launch Bookdog.)
- Clicking "Add New..." in the Main Window now creates a new item in the expected location, under the current selection, instead of in an unexpected location.
- Fixed a bug which sometimes allowed Bookwatchdog to sort bookmarks while Bookdog was running, causing confusion to the user.
Bookdog Version 5.3.1
2009 Apr 12
- Fixed a bug and restored a missing file in the package which caused Bookdog to crash if one attempted to "Make license available to all users on this computer".
- Fixed a bug which caused a Main Window showing Firefox 3, del.icio.us or Google Bookmarks to not close after clicking File > Close followed by File > Save.
- Fixed a bug which, during a Migration, could cause folders to assume the order of the opposite browser instead of the one indicated as favored. This is especially noticeable in doing a bilateral migration, because in this case the destination is favored in each direction.
- Fixed the Search Key popup menu in the More sub-panel of the Find window.
- Fixed a bug (again) which was causing occasional crashes when a main window was closed. One way to trigger this crash was to copy an item, paste in the copy, sort bookmarks, and then delete the pasted item before closing the window.
- Fixed a bug which caused Bookdog to sometimes say that bookmarks were not sorted when in fact they were sorted. One way to trigger this was to add a duplicate bookmark in a browser which Bookwatchdog was set to sort and find duplicates in, trigger Bookwatchdog, then after the Bookdog launched, delete the duplicate and save the bookmarks.
- Fixed a bug in the Migrate Bilaterally Automator action.
- In the Bookdog Migration Performer AppleScript which is included in the application package to do the work scheduled by Bookdog Migration Scheduler, added a more informative error dialog to explain if the Bookdog/Daily Migrations folder in the user's Application Support disappears for some reason.
Mac OS 10.3 users should not install this update. More info.
Bookdog Version 5.2
2009 Mar 09
- The Bookwatchdog feature to sort Safari bookmarks minutes after a bookmarks change, and the ability to save Safari bookmarks while Safari is running, have been removed because they will cause the Safari version 4 Public Beta to crash if the user is editing bookmarks in Safari at the same time. Sorting and saving Safari bookmarks is now deferred until after Safari has been quit, same as with Camino, Firefox and the other browsers. See our blog post for more details.
- When opening Firefox 3 bookmarks, if more than one bookmark has the same URL, but these bookmarks have different tags, their tags are now pooled and copied to all other bookmarks with this URL, so that all the bookmarks with the same URL have all the same tags. The reason for the change is because this is the way Firefox 3 does it.
- Fixed a bug which caused Bookdog to sometimes save bookmarks after user chose to leave browser running and clicked "Cancel".
- Now reads/writes Firefox 3 bookmarks which have corrupt, "null" bookmarks when the bookmark in Bookdog also has no URL; no longer aborts the process because of "SQL Error 1".
- Fixed a bug which would cause Bookdog to crash if item(s) from a window were copied to the clipboard, and then the window from which they were copied was closed. This bug was introduced while fixing a related crashing problem in Bookdog 5.1.39.
Mac OS 10.3 users should not install this update. More info.
