Hello Jerry.

Thank you for the detailed reply. I was actually wondering if this was the case — an issue with the browsers. The first place I looked was Safari and Chrome.

And I do have memories of using OmniWeb and Camino, so perhaps that's where my idea of sorting by last visited date came from!

In any case, I'll approach the project of clearing out old bookmarks in another way.

Hello, Gerry.

Synkmark can only keep track of the Last Visited Date if the web browser keeps track of it in their bookmark records, and unfortunately, the only web browsers which do that are OmniWeb, Camino and Opera prior to version 15, web browsers which you probably never heard of if you are under the age of 40 Sad

The feature was actually inherited from BookMacster which still supports these browsers.  Unfortunately, none of Safari, Chrome or Firefox support this.  They do keep track of Last Visited date in their History, and theoretically we could get it out of there, but it would be unsupported, complicated and maybe too fragile.

To verify the issue, click on one of the column headings in the Content of Synkmark and change it to show "Last Visited".  The columns will probably be empty.  You will get a Last Visited date on a bookmark if you visit from within Synkmark, but that is not the way Synkmark is designed to be used.

I've entered this as a bug in our Bug Tracker that we should consider.

Just purchased Synkmark. As part of my process for editing and organizing bookmarks, I'd like to sort them by "Last Visited."

I tried using the following steps but with no success.

1) Selected bookmark folder
2) Selected menu item "Selection > Sort Now by > Last Visited"

Is there another step I don't know about?

Thank you!
