![]() Can you give me the exact steps you take to reproduce the problem? Is that true? Is that the only other trigger? Is there an AppleScript command for triggering "synchronization"? (c) Look at file modification dates and copy newer over olderīesides the manual menu command, there must be automatic triggers for the "synchronization" discussed in Question 2? The threads above imply that it may happen when OmniWeb is launched. (b) Copy files from the remote server to.

OmniWeb seems to put bookmarks in three places:ġ. I think I could get it if I knew several things. I am planning a major overhaul of syncing in a future release, I will certainly explore what other browsers are doing when I do and I thank you for pointing me at what Firefox is up to.Īfter reading this thread and the documentation, I'm still unclear about synchronization and am unable to get it to work as expected with my. "Why can't OmniWeb adopt a similarly robust system?" I ended my last post with a comment about bookmarks sync in Firefox and a question. ![]() ![]() I am sorry they aren't working for you-I have never used them myself, but I know other people around Omni who have. We have so much to do with the conversion to WebKit that we can't fix the known bugs in 5.1 as well unless they are directly related to the conversion.īookmarks syncing is the main reason I don't use OmniWeb day to day.

I use Firefox with the Foxmarks extension. If this doesn't happen then you will lose any changes the next time. The problem appears to be that Omniweb doesn't immediately update the server bookmarks when any changes are made locally. As soon as I started it, I saw a flurry of network activity on my router and OmniWeb promptly deleted the new bookmark! So, I opened up the 'master' OmniWeb to make sure that this time the upload happens. I knew it wouldn't be because the 'master' copy of OmniWeb hadn't updated the server bookmarks after I created the new bookmark.
