TB should not use any specific 3rd party bookmark list since not everyone wants to run Internet Explorer or whatever. Sounds like you never use IE, do you, Januk? IE's "favorites" are stored as individual .url files. While I hate this design for it takes too much disk space, it does make it easier for other apps to access them. But having said all that, why don't you open the links in your favourite browser and use that program's bookmark feature? Or am I missing something obvious? I can't answer for Krister, but there are certainly times when one doesn't want to or can't open the links immediately, e.g., when one's reading offline. -- Best regards, Ming-Li The Bat! 1.47 Beta/5 | Win2k SP1 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Hello Krister, On Wednesday, October 04, 2000 at 19:28:07 GMT +0200 (which was 10:28 AM where I live) witnesses say Krister Ekstrom typed: I want TB to use the bookmark list of the browser that's registered at present on the users system. That way i can use IE and you could use Opera or whatever. At least, that's how i think the feature in Agent works, but i could be wrong. That would seem to be an extremely difficult task given all the possible browsers out there. However, TB could store them either as .url files as Ming-Li pointed out, or as a list in a very simple HTML file. However, Windows 9x supports scraps. That's where you click and drag text from a program and drop it onto your desktop. A text file is then generated with the contents of that selection. If TB supported that facility, the need for a specialized bookmark utility would be eliminated, I think. I don't want to start my browser, go out online and fetch the page in order just to bookmark it, in that case, it's better to have it as it is now. Convenience, that's the word.:-) Of course. I tend to forget about these things. :-) -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal See header for e-mail address Using The Bat! 1.47 Beta/5 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
