I tried to work with a XBEL file as a „Rube Goldberg in the middle“. Export works, but trying to import from the file i receive an „Error: 654784 - Error parsing XBEL
───── Underlying Cause ─────
The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 9.)“

So i'll stop experimenting and rather wait for an eventual update.

I understand.  Yes, you want Export Exclusions to be more granular, per-Client instead of per-browser. [/quote]

It would definitely be a Rube Goldberg contraption.  First of all, iCab is not a good choice because we can only sync iCab when it quits.  Safari, Chrome and Firefox are the only browsers that we can watch for changes, and Safari is the only browser for which we can observe changes while it is not running.  See attached drawing.  Although I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work, we're getting into untested territory.

In Settings > Clients, when you click the Advanced (gear icon) buttons, there is no Delete unmatched items for each Client; only for the aggregate Import.  I think you're suggesting that it would be necessary to switch this on when importing from the "work only" client, so that items would not be deleted.  That should not be necessary, if I recall correctly, because BookMacster checks to see if an unmatched item would have been excluded from an export to the client being imported from, and if so, will not delete it during an import.

Another idea would be to trigger syncs on schedules (using Advanced Agents or AppleScript/Automator) instead of bookmarks changed.  Then that guy in the middle could be a "loose" file instead of Safari or Chrome.  Schedule one, then a couple minutes later, the other.  It would be a different Rube Goldberg.

I'll let you know if I think of something better.

Hello, Achim.  I think the answer is no.  As you've probably noticed, the Export Exclusions drawer in the Inspector has only one checkbox, for all profiles in Firefox.

When we added the Export Exclusions, the idea was, as always in this business, to cover 80% or users with 20% of the time investment.  Adding profiles to that could be done.  I've added it to the list of requests of some hypothetical BookMacster 2.0.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, Achim.

Maybe if you tell us what you're trying to achieve, we could think of a way to do it now, maybe with two Bookmarkshelf documents.  Are you just trying to sync two Firefox profiles, or is there more to it than that?
