When I try to import my bookmarks from Simpy it doesn't seem to get all of them. Any idea of what is going on.

Thanks

I have 3,271 links bookmarked. Diigo only imports 10.

Hope that helps,
Glenn

Thanks for reporting. There is a new bug triggered by the new backend change. Should be fixed now. Please double check to confirm. Thanks

in the last weeks i tried multiple times to import my 240 bookmarks from simpy.
but they are not imported. either only ten imports like glenm stated or none at all.
the creationdates of my bookmarks are also not imported correctly.

did anybody succeed in importing from simpy?

best regards,

march.

Save Elsewhere doesn't work for Simpy

Save Elsewhere works for Delicious, but doesn't work for Simpy. Is it my fault?
I would like to export only bookmarks with specific tags to another service (e.g. German service Mister Wong).
I looked for a solution, but I didn't find one.

Thanks a lot, but that's no answer to my question.
I asked, if it's possible to export only bookmarks belonging to certain topics resp. bookmarks depending on their tags.

Tags are included in exports (I tried Netscape format) - it is not so simple to get them out but they are inside... Or you can try API, but is is not so simple (http://www.diigo.com/tools/api)

I don't know about exporting by tags... Maybe in some future versions :)

Save Elsewhere only lists 3 sites

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 04:39:07 -0000

Save Elsewhere now only has 3 choices - del.icio.us, simpy and ma.gnolia. I used to be able to save to
Furl as well, now it's not one of the choices.
Is it coming back?

Hi Helaine,
We didn't find the Furl APIs, so it's hard to save to Furl.
I did some explanation on how we supported those sites before and why we stopped supporting them in the new version http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/2740

Hi Joel,

It's a shock to find an "upgrade" that takes away features with no warning. Is it possible to go back to the previous version?

Before Diigo, I used other "scripts/bookmarklets" that allowed me to save to del.icio.us and Furl, among others, simultaneously. These were written by individuals, so it wouldn't seem to be that hard.

FYI - Without the ability to save to del.icio.us and Furl, I would not have tried Diigo - too much of a downside - too much extra work to save to different places so I could go back if I didn't like Diigo.

Since I've been using Diigo, I like it and now have to decide if I like it enough to lose Furl.

Simultaneous post to simpy appears as "private" when my create preference is "public"

Does anyone know how to correct this? It is a pain to have to go to simpy and individually mark the private ones that are saved by Diigo as public. I have made sure my preference in simpy is set to create new bookmarks as public, I have checked this several times, logged in and out, nothing seems to help!

Are those bookmark public or private in Diigo? We are improving simultaneous bookmark feature. You can use the new version soon.
post by joel on 2008-02-20
Thanks for the quick reply!

In Diigo they are public and I want them to be public on simpy as well... I have set the default for new bookmarks to be public. You can see my posts from Diigo on del.icio.us, ma.gnolia and simpy as praguebob, too. But since I started using your site a few days ago I have had to go back to simpy periodically and mark the newest posts as public. Here's a fresh example that I haven't corrected yet:

http://www.artcluster.com/whiteboard/ (you can go and check all of the aforementioned sites yourself and you'll see that the simpy one isn't public....

BTW it is working fine for ma.gnolia and del.icio.us (I also post simultaneously to those sites)

I think this is a wonderful feature, neither simpy nor ma.gnolia would have my links if it weren't for this and I wouldn't switch over completely from del.icio.us either. You have done a great thing here with this feature, which otherwise works great. The thing with simpy is prbably a bug either in their API or in the way you are using it - I hope the latter because then you can just fix it!.... :-)

2nd BTW: If I post simultaneously and then edit the tags using Diigo and save back, the edits don't appear in del.icio.us so you apparently only create and not update, which is a bit of a drag, but oh well...

3rd BTW I do miss the feature of del.icio.us where it actually suggests tags that other people have used for something that was posted by other users, I think you could add this pretty easily and it would be helpful, I think...

Otherwise I like Diigo so much that I'm raving about it to everyone here at work (a media organization), I'm a new and big fan of Diigo!

===> This is implemented in the upcoming new toolbar.
