Customize bookmarking window? - 14 views
-
Is it possible that we could customize what options show in the toolbar bookmarking window? While I understand the importance of the legibility and utility concerns, I almost never share to a group yet often would like to add to multiple lists directly from the bookmarking window. If users could choose to get rid of some saving options and have others present it would be a more personalized and useful tool.
However, I recognize I am coming at this from a designers perspective without the prerequisite coding knowledge to know if this is "pie-in-sky" or practical... -
I'm not sure I follow what you are saying. By step do you mean change pages or transition or what? Either way, I think a simple line (link option or whatever) that said "Add to multiple lists) and then, when clicked, made your lists appear in the same bookmarking window with tickboxes next to all of them would be most useful...
But again, I don't know what you meant totally or how hard what I am suggesting would be -
I do not know what Diigo Meta is...

Also, if I am understanding you correctly, you are suggesting a window where I can bookmark a page as I do now, that, when save is clicked, redirects me to an entirely new webpage (instead of leaving me on the page I just bookmarked), that is more like the "about" page Furl had where I could *then* add a bookmark to multiple lists? If so, I think this should be a new button in addition to the Save button--e.g. Save & Customize. Also, I am still wondering if it is possible to allow users to customize what options show up by default in their bookmarking window that is launched from the toolbar. If anyone can respond to that directly, I would love to hear what you have to say.
Thanks,
Yoni

Has there been any news on the *lists* (i.e. adding to multiple lists)?
I know in Furl it was just checkboxes and I could have my lists show and I could "tick" a couple of them. - ...3 more comments...

While the mockup shows groups, it also points to the lists option implying that would look the same and have the same options.
Regarding many lists: I always look forward to getting replies from you, Graham, because you always point out legitimate concerns that I have not thought of and would have completely overlooked. You do a great job of thinking from the perspectives of all users. As far as my response in the form of an answer, I do not have one. If users have many lists, I suppose a scroll bar would be necessary. Perhaps a user could choose his/her "favorites" to have show up. Alternately, Diigo could automatically select the top 10 most used (or most recently used lists).
Regarding the netbook, this is again an instance of an issue I would not have thought of. I do not know how to deal with netbooks, but I still believe a preferences or settings panel where a user could choose what to have show would be easiest--for the user, anyway. Also, another way to save space would be to have each element "hide-able." For instance, I rarely use the description box and much more frequently just wish to add tags to a bookmark and put it in a few of my lists. However, if I was using a netbook, the description box--which I cannot hide--is stealing a relatively large portion of my screen real estate.
P.S. Again, this may be harder to do than it sounds to me, but what prevents the pop-up window from having a vertical scroll bar? It's not the neatest or most aesthetically pleasing form of interface design, but it may be most practical when it comes to offering users the flexibility they desire.
P.P.S. Sorry if any of this post was more appropriate for http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/content/customize-bookmarking-window-1043298 -
After looking into it further to try and recall what I did when I used Furl, I have realized two more solutions, both of which I find appealing.
The first is from a very old version of Furl, before I used it. http://paininthetech.com/files/screenshots/furl2.png As you can see, there was the option of clicking a button ("Multi") and then adding to multiple Topics. This seems like a somewhat crude solution, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
The second approach is the one I used, and think is worth discussing at greater length. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/images/p/22543/1214439817 What do people think about using a similar format where, instead of a drop-down menu for adding to lists, there were topics listed, as shown in the screenshot, and people could hide that part of the window if they needed more screen real estate?
P.S. How are you adding pictures (and other formatting such as italics) to your posts?

As a Furl-user who has been imported over into Diigo, I miss one particular feature (or, one that I have not yet seen mentioned in this forum... I also miss proper caching, saving jpgs and filetypes, and many other things... most of which are covered here: http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/how-does-caching-work-41728#5).
I would like to see Diigo either incorporate a separate page for each bookmark so that when the link is clicked it goes to a profile of the page with all the information about the link AND/OR (and this second part is the more important one) I would like to see what lists I have a bookmark saved in no matter where I am looking at that bookmark.
Basically, when I look at my bookmarks in a list, I cannot see what other lists I have put the bookmark in. This may not be a problem for many people because they do not have crosslisted bookmarks. However, many of my pages relate to multiple things I plan to use them for and so I have chosen to create multiple lists.
One feature I do not "miss" (because Furl never had it) but that I would VERY much like to see included, is the ability to use "subfolders." I would love if I were able to have lists within lists. For example, this would allow me to have a folder for Design and then a couple of subfolders for pictures, and articles, and graphic design, etc etc. I could use common tags and browse all things with the same tag, but this is a little more work. Moreover, if that is the suggestion, then I might as well not use lists at all. That's an option, but it makes it harder to organize your bookmarks. I think having the option to organize how you choose is exceptionally important.
On a final, related note, I would like to be able to add a bookmark to multiple lists when I bookmark it. In Furl, I was able to add to multiple Topics and Tags at once which was essentially the equivalent.
I hope these suggestions are taken into account and incorporated in the future. -
has there been any news on subfolders?
