Multiple copies of a bookmark, some without annotations (editable URLs in Diigolet 4.0b14) - 134 views

  In a previous version of Diigolet, it was impossible to change the URL of a bookmark after its creation.
  
  In 3.1b572 it's possible to change the URL, but beware:
  
  * the annotations that you see on screen after the change are not associated with the URL that you enter
  
  * the change of URL creates a copy of the bookmark, without annotations.

   

  <div class="cArrow"> </div><div class="cContentInner">In a previous version of Diigolet, it was impossible to change the URL of a bookmark after its creation. <br /> <br /> In 3.1b572 it's possible to change the URL, but beware: <br /> <br /> * the annotations that you see on screen after the change are <b>not</b> associated with the URL that you enter <br /> <br /> * the change of URL creates a copy of the bookmark, without annotations.</div>

  Now using Diigolet 4.0b14, I definitely caution against using the URL field of the bookmark dialogue to attempt a change of URL.
  
  You'll gain an additional bookmark with the same title but a different URL, but highlights etc. will not appear on both. Moreover: depending on the workflow/order of things, you may end up with highlights lost (missing from both copies).
