Thanks for the quick reply.

As you say, it might just have given one warning, but as it was already giving me errors prior to my deleting the file, it might have been caught between a rock and a hard place. I believe the option to quit agents did come up and whatever button was my natural inclination to hit, didn't produce the hoped for response. ie it kept hanging.

Bookmacster is obviously very powerful, and in educated hands probably does everything it is supposed to, but for casual users like myself, a force quit would ideally quit the app and all agents and processes. That's the natural behavior for most mac apps and what a novice user would perhaps expect to happen. Just my 2¢!

I'll report back after the jump to iCloud.

I deleted my Boomarkshelf from a cloned hard drive Dropbox (probably not the smartest thing I've ever done), meaning it also wiped it everywhere else. This was not immediately a problem as I was going to create a new one from scratch, except that...

1. Bookmacster had a melt down when it couldn't find the Bookmarkshelf file, which is now missing from all drives needing the file.
2. Force quitting didn't completely quit the program. I had to shut down to regain control.
3. Bookmacster gives me no way to switch it off. Dropbox allows us to pause, which is very useful. Perhaps Bookmacster should adopt that, if at all possible.
4. Deleting Bookmacster completely, fixed this after a restart. But obviously not what I wanted.

Furthermore,

5. Bookmacster  has been giving errors in the past couple of months. Didn't know how to fix it so I created a new Bookmarkshelf and reset Sync services, but I was then getting errors from both Bookmacster and Mobile Me. I'll install Lion, move to iCloud and then have another go at all this once it's all settled down.

So just wanted to bring both these issues up. Jerry, if you have any thoughts, let me know, otherwise I'll update this post sometime in the new year.

Thanks,
K
