A Client is usually a web browser. More generally, a client is a thing from which a Bookmarkshelf will get bookmarks content during its Import, and to which it will send them during its Export. In the first context, it is referred to as an Import Client and in the second, an Export Client. You add and remove Clients in the Import and Export tables in a Bookmarkshelf’s Settings ▸ Clients tab.
There are actually four types of clients.
Most often, a Client is a locally-installed web browser app, with its bookmarks in your Mac account. Client “Safari” simply means your Safari bookmarks.
A Client can also be a web-based browser app account. If you have multiple accounts, for example, two Delicious accounts, each will appear as a separate Client in BookMacster.
A Client may also reference the bookmarks of a particular locally-installed web browser app on another Mac account on your network, for example, the Opera bookmarks in account Suzie in server Old Powerbook. This will appear in the popup menu as “Old Powerbook:Suzie:Opera 10”.
Finally, a Client can be a loose file of bookmarks which you accessed using the Choose File (Advanced) menu item. BookMacster tracks this file using the path and file alias mechanism built into Mac OS X.
If you have created multiple Firefox profiles in your Mac account, each Firefox profile is a different Client.
