How to Capture Video/Youtube with New Diigo Toolbar - 29 views

I forgot how it was done in the previous versions and it seemed obscure then but nowadays if I check on youtube howto videos, they seem to be just dealing with the old toolbar as opposed to this new one where there is no longer a bookmark button.

I'm using the 4.1.0.5 version and there's no dropdown bookmark button anymore. Not even in the options.

I don't really know what to improve with the experience other than making it clear in the toolbar that Diigo can highlight videos but I think it would be cool if there's a way to auto-snapshot a video/image that is no longer there and get a direct message to download the video/image snapshot into your HD so you won't lose it.

(There could be an option to delete the snapshot after x amount of days so it doesn't clutter the system)

I think it would be cool though if you can copy the Flock web clipper's way but with online sync (while still retaining the current way of capturing videos and images)

It would be like a sidebar where you can drag and drop images/image urls - text - video urls/video embeds and Diigo would intelligently know how to capture it and you get to see a preview on how it would look in the expanded view.

You could also copy/integrate with Posterous and have a way of auto-capturing videos and images via an e-mail to the same posterous e-mail so that you instantly both get a Diigo bookmark and a Picture/Video blog post in one go.

Hmm... I'm using FirefoxPortable.

Maybe there's an error. I'm going to try reinstalling the toolbar.

I don't really see any triangle. All I see is a diigo button that hides/unhides the toolbar.

On the toolbar you have highlights, comment, message and options.

Send, Search, Quick Access Filter and Read Later are disabled.

Show Highlighted Color in Diigo Library View + Where to get snapshots? - 21 views

suggestion highlight color preview question snapshots

#1 Call Me What You Want on 29 Sep 09

First of all, congratulations on the new interface for v4.

I went away from Diigo because eventually the readability of the highlights and the overall interface in v3 got to me. (Plus the lack of easy backing up of highlights still got to me.)

I like how you added the colors and made the interface so you don't really need to constantly click on the toolbars to change colors but I am a bit surprised the colors didn't migrate when viewing the highlights in the Library.

I like how it no longer uses a pure white background on black text though. It's just that I used the colors to make it much easier for me to segment the highlights as I rarely go directly to a site to view them.

Also, I tried the snapshot button and it says something about having snapshots in the toolbar but I can't spot any button that says that. I can't spot any option on the Diigo toolbar help page image either.

#3 Call Me What You Want on 29 Sep 09

Thanks. Yeah I saw the exact message in the snapshot page but as far as I can see, there's no button like that in the toolbar.

With regards to the link, I'm getting the Error 404, no container specific problem. Not sure if it's just because I'm using NoScript but I do have permissions allowed although it is posting a "potential cross-site scripting" message.

I didn't know Diigo had a feature request list. Do you happen to have the link?

Personally, I'd prefer something more noticeable like icons based on the color or even an option to fill a certain highlight with a color while viewing the Library but that blue strip at the left edge of each highlight would be ideal to represent the actual colors of the highlight.

Try this Firefox add-on:

Another way I cheat this, is just hiding all but the main toolbar and just right click and enable the toolbar I want for the occassion.

Was there always a cutoff limit to how much text you can put into sticky notes? - 27 views

#1 Call Me What You Want on 20 Oct 08

I've been using Diigo's sticky note to copy paste entries that were linked to another webpage for quite some time now (I find it more convenient than highlighting the page and linking both in a single tag) but recently I found that the text was cut off on a recent page I bookmarked.

#1 Call Me What You Want on 15 Oct 08

I'm not really sure whether this is caused by an extension but I'm having erratic results with the Diigo page using Firefox.

Example:

Going to my Groups would time out.

Clicking Expand on My Bookmark page won't expand.

Clicking Expand on Groups would expand.

Anyone else having problems like these?

I know it's a problem within Firefox because I'm using Chrome and Diigo is working fine over here.

#2 Call Me What You Want on 15 Oct 08

P.S. Uninstalled a few add-ons and it seems to be fixed. Not sure if it ever conflicted with the site or the expand button just wouldn't work because Firefox was eating memory but I just thought I'd post it to alert my surprise that the Diigo page can be affected. (I used to think FF extensions conflicted with the other extensions only)

Yeah, I forgot about that factor. Sorry if I couldn't help pinpoint the extension that was causing the issue but I think it was probably a rare extension.

Opera Diigolet fails to save bookmarks - 56 views

It's been awhile since I used the Diigolet but as far as saving to multiple sites, don't think that works.

I had no problem with saving bookmarks in the past but I didn't use it extensively enough to notice any difference.

Tag Management - 33 views

a. Option to have bigger tag input space in Diigo FF extension

---Right now it's still clunky once you start adding lots of tags because you can't see the ones you've previously inputted and can't resize the pop-up window

b. Option to sort through only a set number of similar tags per bookmark unless other tags are unhidden

---Clustering made easier for people who don't have time. I almost always try to stick with a minimum of 6 tags because I'm afraid of tag hell but sometimes there are certain additional "minor" tags that might help in searching.

#6 Call Me What You Want on 28 Sep 08

I would also just like to add my support for this feature as I've also talked with someone who felt this feature was important.

To be honest, I'm not sure whether a full export or this feature is the most sought after feature I've heard but both definitely seems to be must haves especially for a service as feature full as Diigo where people expect more powerful ways to handle all the data that they have saved.

Ellen H. wrote:
> Is there any way to exclude tags from a search? The more I use diigo, the more I find I need this--for instance, bookmarks from tag A but not tag B (ie, not also tagged B--to get a list of items tagged A, Tagged A and C, etc., but not A and B). The only option I can find in the advanced search is to exclude the word B everywhere--but I want some pages with the word B in them--just not if they are tagged B. Am I making sense?

Yes, bookmark your my bookmarks page and in the details, check show in panel and you should have your entry there.

As you would see, it can be clunky because Diigo does not have mobile support and therefore shift + F11 (mobile view) does not work well so you have to struggle with navigating via scrolling.

This is a case where it's more convenient to use Opera's nicks or putting your Diigo bookmark in the context menu so that you can much easier navigate there than deal with the sidebar problem.

Question about seeing highlighting or sticky on other computers - 35 views

newbie

started by Anne Emerick on 03 Sep 08 no follow-up yet

#2 Call Me What You Want on 03 Sep 08

Hi Anne

1) Send bookmarks, highlights, stickies can be found in the lower right section of each of your bookmarks with the word share plus a drop down arrow with several options on how to do that. I don't have a blog so I don't know how to do it for blogging. This feature can also be seen in the Diigo toolbar if you installed it on your Firefox.

2) As long as you have the plugin on a browser, you pretty much have the same access as you would on your computer as long as you insert your login info. With the Diigolet (only Firefox and Flock supports the toolbar) I haven't found a way to highlight images and flash but pretty much the same. If you mean what highlights can you see when you aren't logged in, well none unless you get the annotated link which you can also see under share.

#1 Call Me What You Want on 02 Sep 08

I'm not sure when it changed and I thought it worked differently before but after viewing one of my highlighted text from the expand view, I saw that the highlights with sticky notes took higher priority than my first highlight and this messed up my reading as I often highlight and annotate these texts to get a cliff notes view of the article and when the stickied highlight with notes becomes the first entry, it totally messes up the reading order.

Hi Jules, I'm not really sure what's up with Diigo's sync bookmarking system right now so I doubt this feature would be implemented soon.

When v3 came out, it reduced many of the supported services and now this group doesn't get as fast a reply as it used to.

It could be just slowing down but I used to remember seeing Maggie or Joel responding more often to basic questions like these.

More services should honestly be a good thing in general and I doubt you'll get much argument against that. Stumbleupon's a pretty popular service.

#5 Call Me What You Want on 02 Sep 08

Same here. Please send me a message if you ever find a replacement because Diigo was a dream come true to me when I first found it.

I don't even know how to make a backup because the bookmarks aren't what attracted me to it but the way it made the important snippets easier to reread when I'm browsing my bookmarks because the snippets are inside the bookmark list as oppose to needing to click on the link and all and the interface were just user friendlier to me than other services like clipmarks or evernote.

To be honest, I'm not calling it doom and gloom just yet because I don't know how quiet the Diigo groups was prior from v1 to v2 and when I joined v2, Diigo was already in the process of going v3 which added alot more hype and conversation within the groups and after that, there was still Webslides to be announced so maybe that added to the noise and it's just dying down but it definitely wouldn't hurt to look for a replacement. At the very least, at least you have another place that might listen to your suggestion.

If you mean whether your highlights and annotations will be preserved, they should be except for your videos.
