This is nice since quicksilver can read them and I can find them quickly. But the problem is that the importing must be done manually (I didn't find any automatic process) and it's boring. So why going to a browser at all? I suggest we could create a "bookmark" entry in the agenda which creates a big buffer with all the links, maybe filtering the links in local files or other non interesting things. The problem with html exporting was also that they were all together for each file, with a org-mode buffer we could still get the original structure for every bookmark, and easily go to the original resource. After it maybe could be possible to write a quicksilver plugin for that and it will be finally wonderful ;) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

That can be done with existing features, IIUC. I don't know if this is what you're considering, but I'd like to use org as the central place to store all bookmarks, for all browsers, and sync.

What needs to be done to make that happen, do you suppose? I agree with you. Exporting automatically all the files in the org-agenda to a very big html file with all the links it's not a big deal. The problems than for me are - organization of bookmarks: If they are all together it's not so useful, I would like subdiretories - integration with browsers and automatic importing: Without automatic importing/synchronization it's not so useful, we should find a common way to collect bookmarks and set the different browsers to fetch from it. Any other thoughts?

Yes it is enhancement of standard Emacs bookmarks. I wrote a little doc only to setup Firefox protocols, you will find it in the directory you get with mercurial. Before all, you have to setup Firefox. Read the doc on Emacswiki and the file bookmark-extensions-documentation.rst. When done use as standard Emacs bookmarks: C-x r l Then for firefox bookmarks just hit "P". If that work, you can export to an org file with M-x bmkext-firefox2org For Delicious bookmarks, you need the library anything-delicious.el. You will find it on emacswiki also. or here:(get it with hg clone) http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/anything-delicious Read inside the file instruction to setup, specially for the authentification side. When done, hit "D" from bookmark menu list (C-x r l) C-u D will refresh the list from Delicious server. > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode > -- A + Thierry Volpiatto Location: Saint-Cyr-Sur-Mer - France ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

The reason I like the idea of using org as the central store is that it holds a lot of information, including annotations (headline body text), subheadings, tags, properties, etc. Possibly even last-modified date of the web page and last-synced. It can also be subsetted using the agenda. The idea would be that when you, say, save all Firefox tabs that are currently open to a Firefox bookmark folder, you can export that whole folder to org. Then, you can add annotations, move the headlines anywhere in the agenda files hierarchy, export from org to w3m or Firefox or Safari (using the agenda to subset), and reimport back to org without losing the annotations (new browser tabs (web pages) that org does not know about yet end up in a special place in the org hierarchy while existing ones sync with existing headlines). Can the emacs bookmark mechanism serialize all that org data? If not, perhaps org would be a good place to store everything. Maybe we have different ideas, which deserve different implementations?

If the link is already in an org file, will it update the dates and avoid adding it to org elsewhere?

What you asked for was not done at this time. But now it is. ;-) You can have now in one org file all your firefox and w3m bookmarks and synchronize this file with firefox or w3m without duplicating and without loosing eventual notes you write in your bookmarks entries.
