In response to user requests, I'm beginning to look at supporting Shiira in Bookdog. I installed the latest, Shiira 2.2, but I notice several confusing things about the way it stores bookmarks.
When you click in the menu "Show Bookmark Panel", you get a cool-looking Leopard-like black panel which shows Shiira bookmarks.
The reason that I say it shows Shiira bookmarks is because....there's more. When you click that funny button that my mouse is pointing to at the bottom there, you get "shiira://shelf" in the browser window, the old Shiira Bookmarks Manager, with several Collections to choose from in the left pane.
Safari Bookmarks reads your Safari bookmarks file. Firefox Bookmarks reads your Firefox bookmarks file. But then above these there is just plain Bookmarks, which is kind of a "smart playlist" that shows Safari+Firefox+Shiira bookmarks.
After playing with Shiira for over an hour, I finally figured out how to delete a bookmark or folder. After clicking the funny button at the bottom to show the "shiira://shelf", select the item(s) you want to delete and then right-click to show the contextual menu which has Delete. Although you can move items in the black panel, you can't delete.
One thing I can't figure out at all is how to rename a bookmark or folder. Does anyone know how to do that, or is that why you want Shiira support in Bookdog?
The new black Panel has been patched in to replace the old Bookmarks Manager when you click the Show Bookmarks menu item and the "bookmarks" toolbar button instead of the old Bookmarks Manager. However, the old Bookmarks Manager, although hard to find now, is still needed to access features which are not yet supported by the new Panel
Finally, when I click the Forum on their site, I get a blank page (even when using Shiira!) Does anyone know if there's a trick to accessing Shiira's Forum?
