CSV backup shows no annotations

When I export my bookmarks via CSV the columns title, url, tags, and comments
all have content in them except 'annotations' (the most important one)
I don't want to spend my life annotating things with the worry that if diigo goes under and I'm stuck.
Ideas?

I don't really know anything about what is wrong with your CSV export, but I share your concern. RSS also is supposed to save annotations--did you try that one?

Y, please try RSS format. We will look into the export issue later.

I also tried RSS and it doesn't back annotations.
This could be a deal breaker for me. If I invest
huge amounts of time into annotating pages
for research then I want to be sure I have them
backed up.

When I subscribe to my own bookmarks by rss, the annotations are included just fine--but only the public bookmarks. However, even the private annotations show up--actually a bit of a problem now that I think of it. But they do show up on RSS, if you subscribe.

We are working on it now.

Great!
Joel, how will we know when you solve this and other things you are working on? Do we need to keep checking version history or do you post it on the appropriate threads such as this one? Nice work.

1- how can we access the cached pages?

2- is each cached page assigned a unique URL that can be accessed later? if Yes; then how can I get the URL of my pages?

Hi,
You can clicke the Cached links in my bookmark page to access them.
BTW,
1) There may be some delay in cached pages.
2) Some pages are not cached, such us PDF pages, Https pages.
post by joel on 2008-05-01
thank you. but can you know the assigned url for each cached page- not the original url-? thus it would be possible to download them for offline browsing or backup with a download manager software

How to back up bookmarks?

New to Diigo, and so far so good. Having gone to the trouble of highlighting, sticky-noting and bookmarking webpages, how can I be sure I don't lose that 'work' - i.e. how to back up Diigo backmarks, locally or online?
Does anyone have any bright ideas for making sure they exist beyond Diigo?

Hi Sugardiigo,

That's a cute username.

Please check out http://www.diigo.com/tools/export

CSV format includes your annotation.

hi Maggie, is there a help topic somewhere comparing the various export formats, what they include, etc?

Save or print with highlights and stickies visible

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 09:21:05 -0000

Hi ,

Diigo is a wonderful tool. Is there a way to print or save annotated webpages so that the stickies and highlights are visible? It seems that this would be a pretty common need for people using diigo for reserach, and who want to look at their work offline or on paper.

On a related note, any plans to put stickies and highlights in the cache? It's a real shame to lose annotations just because a webpage changes.

Thanks!

Sean

seantmitch,

Agree and thanks for your input. We'll be offering more enhancements. Meanwhile, few things you can do now:

1) Extract (we will also further enhance more features here...)
2) Use search to pull out what you need, and use expand to display and print them
2) Export as CSV format

Annotation in cache - sometimes that will require more work - but it's on our agenda to discuss more here.

Hi Maggie!

Yes, I agree as above ...Diigo is a really wonderful tool...and it would be nice too somehow to save our works.
I have also an earlier post regarding to at least
Could Extract highlights contain the attached sticky too? 05-14-2007
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/364
for which I'm awaiting for so greatly
(see your 1. point below)

Do you mean exporting my all of bookmaks in CSV format will retain all of my highlights and stickies?
I have never tried that. I'll.
Thanks,
