Bookdog

Bookdog allows users to sort (selectively alphabetize), import/export, migrate, verify, find redirects, search, and find duplicates among their bookmarks collections in Safari, Firefox 1.5-3.0, Camino, Google Bookmarks, del.icio.us, OmniWeb, Opera, Shiira 2.x and Netscape Navigator. Migrations can be scheduled using Apple's Automator, and bookmarks on other networked Macs or backup disks are easily accessible.

Introduction

"My Mac is smart enough to organize lots of stuff.  Why not my bookmarks?"

After you install Bookdog, you spend a few minutes adjusting how you want your bookmarks sorted, click Sort and within seconds your bookmarks are all in order!  Click Analyze to find duplicates and then eliminate those you don't want.  Open the Preferences, activate Bookwatchdog, and your bookmarks will be re-sorted after you make changes.  Automatically.  Do you seem to have alot of bookmarks that don't work anymore?   Tell Bookdog to Verify.   He'll make a quick visit to all the websites you have bookmarked, present a report of their responses, give you some options on how he can automatically fix bookmarks that have been "redirected", and finally present a handy tool which allows you to quickly review and fix the remainder.  Using Camino, Firefox, Opera, del.icio.us, Shiira, Google™ Bookmarks and/or OmniWeb in addition to Safari? When you tell him to Migrate your bookmarks between browsers, he finds the right folder and avoids creating duplicates.  You can migrate unilaterally (one-way) or bilaterally, "synchronizing" all missing bookmarks between browsers.  And you can do so from an AppleScript or schedule Migrations using Apple's Automator.  Download Bookdog's sample AppleScripts and Automator Workflow.

Atta boy!  Finally, you see the intelligence you knew your Mac was capable of!
