Upon researching this further, I've concluded that the way it works is standard Mac OS X user interface.  When editing data in a field, the updated data is not entered into the data model until you leave the field.  Otherwise, it would confuse the Undo system.  Tags are a token field, like the address field in a Mail.app message.  It works the same way there.

I see what you mean.  After using the Move hyperlink in the Inspector, your focus is clearly on that item, and therefore the selection should change to show it in its new location.  I've entered a to-do to change that.

Thank you.  I'm not sure if that can be "fixed", or if it should be.  But we'll think about it.

Wow I see that you're correct.  Although I'm not a heavy iTunes user, I'd never noticed that you get a different Info window depending on whether single or multiple items are selected.  It definitely takes some geeky thinking by the user to understand what it does.  People complained about BookMacster being too complicated (which it definitely was in the early days).  I hope we can keep it simpler than that because I don't want to go down that road again.

Thank you.  A preference setting, also available from the warning dialog, has been added to resolve this issue in BookMacster 1.11.1.

Note that BookMacster 1.11.1 will be the next version.  This feature is not yet in BookMacster 1.11, which was just published today.

iTunes! Get Info on an individual track, then hit the Info tab at top, edit, use prev/next buttons at the bottom to cycle through tracks. Select multiple items and Get Info to enter the Multiple Item Information editing screen.

Sorry, my usage of Client was incorrect. I meant Browser... as in I'd like to be able to set the default browser "Visit this bookmark with" for multiple bookmarks at once... this is just an additional Multiple Item Info request / use case.

I will play around with tags more and report back.

One addendum this morning, I tried to open an entire soft folder of bookmarks from the Dock and then from the Menu (which I had off but would leave on if it gave me that functionallity) but cannot... seems like this can only be done by double-clicking the soft folder in the app proper.

Thanks for reading!

new user/customer feedback

I've evaluated BookMacster on an off for the past week and purchased it today. I'd like to share my frustrations / expectations, as a new user, FWIW

I am use case 3, I use many different browsers, but I am not exporting to browsers… am synching with Dropbox to a 2nd Mac. I don't use any hard folders.

I would like the inspector to act like metadata tagger… previous / next to cycle through bookmarks and soft folders. I know I can cmd+~ and use arrows up and down the list, but I still have to go back to the inspector, having prev/next right there would be more convenient to me.

Ability to shift(cmd)+click select multiple bookmarks and/or soft folders to set the client (or other attribute.) I want to save time by applying attributes to groups of bookmarks and soft folders and I currently can't do this because there is no group inspector…. like item info vs multiple item info except more functional.

Firefox - drag a favicon in to create a bookmark and it is listed as 'untitled' works properly from Safari - only weird until I figured out the keyboard shortcuts for QuickMarks.

I now have 'untitled' bookmarks I dragged in from Forefox…I'd like 'verify' (or something else) to fix that unless I have specifically changed the name myself (or said to not change it.)

Select soft folder, should be able to cmd+k to open up all bookmarks in a browser, instead I have to select all bookmarks in that soft folder and then hit cmd+k… I found that I can double click soft folder but I'd like a keyboard shortcut as there is one for an individual 'mark.

I'd like to be able to verify a single bookmark (or a group of bookmarks or soft folders or a group of soft folders) either by inspector or secondary click.

Encrypted bkmslf file, passwd protect. Unlocking BookMacster ala 1Password would be great too.

Tags didn't work smoothly for me at all… UI did not refresh to reflect changes (addition or deletion of tag_ had to quit and restart… not a dealbreaker, I just won't use the feature.

What if I want a client to be a 2nd, completely different, bkmslf file as backup? How do I do that in Settings / Clients ? I figured out how to export to an xbel file, but that's not exactly what I wanted.

HELP Document:

5.2.5
Fabricate Folders… where do I find this? Frustrated reading Advanced because I search for things in the 'Help' menu of the app and don't find them.

Spelling mistake:
4.2 Commands
Some commands have a detail associated with them.  For example, the Export commands have a detal setting which
(second 'detail' spelled wrong)

Glossary
Tag Delimiter Replacement
By default, it is the underscore character.  For example, when you support the tag computer software to Delicious, it will be exported as computer-software.
(you used a dash, not an underscore!)

This is the first browser independent bookmark manager I've committed to using... because you got so much right... keep up the good work.
