The closest thing to 'batch' editing that I've found is going to Edit Tags (the list of all tags) and renaming one tag to another.

hi, it would be handy to have an advanced search option just in Forum to search by Author, especially to find my own prior posts. I know, they're are plenty of things to do though. Thanks.

It would be really helpful to see the domain name (or full URL) for bookmarks in Groups, just like the 'More from xxx.com' that appears in My Bookmarks lists.

not for me, unfortunately. I also checked a public group I'm a member of (Climate Change) with the same result.

hi, I created a private group yesterday (called 'carbon footprints'), but it does not appear in the list of groups I can Share to, when I bookmark a new page using the Bookmark (Diigo icon) toolbar button. Two older groups do appear, but one older group does not, and this new group does not.

I am able to share to the new group if I first bookmark the page, then go to My Bookmarks, check it from the list, and then do Share To Group, but that's not ideal.

thanks,
D

I'm still having the problem. Specs below.

this is a 'feature suggestion' for a great feature that already exists, with a bit of tweaking... It nicely solves a problem I've begun to have: "Have I diigo'd this already?" or "What have I diigo'd on this topic?"

I was surprised not to find 'search Diigo' as an option in the customized-search pop-up menu. So I made it, in a new category called Diigo, with these options: My Diigo full-text (basic & Advanced search), My Diigo by tags, All Diigo by tags. And best of all, it works!

now, will you promise never to go away?

It would be handy then to have some sort of flag (like the existing 'unread' feature) that a site was b'marked using Diigolet. Then we'd at least know what *hasn't* been simultaneously b'marked.

It would be nice if the "related tags" box that appears to the right of a list of b'marks (after I search on a tag) would include in parentheses *how many* of each related tag there are.

Just a thought.

hi, I posted awhile back about this but I want to bring it up again. To make your wonderful service even easier, it would be SO handy to have a "use last tags" option under QuickD. In other words, if I set this option, the tags used for the last page I bookmarked would show up as the default in the QuickD box--allowing me to edit them as I need to and then bookmark with the QuickD button. This would just be another option for pre-filling the QuickD field, other than the current QuickD options--search terms or stable predefined tag(s).

I hadn't thought about it. Seems that the current system is fine for those settings, but the system could be extended as you suggest.

I just think it's a pain with the current system to tag several pages in a row with *almost* the same tag or group of tags. After I've carefully tagged the first time, I become lazy, drop tags off, etc.

joel wrote:
> Hi, Davido:
> I like this idea. Do you need to keep the other bookmark settings, such as read/unread, private/public, the same as the last bookmark's when you do quickD?

hi, it seems that Diigo doesn't logout after a set period of time, like many other services do. Is that correct? For example: if I login on one computer and forget to logout, am I logged in on that machine "forever", or at least until I login on another machine?

I'd prefer a timeout period, for privacy purposes, since I use public computers.

thanks!

I find that when I bookmark a new page, I sometimes forget to add it to a relevant group I've created. I tag it, but don't also choose 'add bookmark to group'. Wouldn't it be nice if I could set the group (at least if it's my own) to automatically add all my own (or anyone's?) bookmarks with specified tags?

For example, there's a group called Climate Change. Whenever I tag a page "climate change" (or "global warming" or "greenhouse gas" or ...) it's added to that group automatically!

I just read the post "A way to apply an action to more than 20 bookmarks at once" and it occurs to me this add-by-tag idea also would be a great, quick way to add a bunch of b'marks to a new group, adding (all at once) as many bookmarks as I have that contain the tags I specify!

I've found Diigo's cache to be lacking, unfortunately. My highlights are accessible, but when clicking on 'cached' Diigo often can't pull up a cached version of the page. I simultaneously bookmark to Furl mainly for this reason.

That is one of the big advantages/features of Diigo. This is also why you can perform whole-text searches in your Diigo archive, it is all saved in Diigo's cache/database.

this is an ease-of-use suggestion... One of the most annoying things is that I find myself on a page that I've previously bookmarked. I'd like to see a list of my highlights. How to do it? I have to open a new window, pull up My Bookmarks, and search for the page based on name or tags.

Instead, why not have a toolbar button that pulls up my previous highlights/comments from that page. If you don't want to add more buttons, the 'About' button could do the job nicely--just have the resulting About page include (or link to) the list of my highlights/comments.

cool!

joel wrote:
> Davido:
> This feature will be in the next version. You can even navigate your highlights from the toolbar.

hi, a suggestion on the 'extract highlights' feature, which is the best way I can find to print a list of highlights... I'd love the option to turn off the repetitive reporting of who highlighted (almost always myself) and when. I usually don't care about the who or when, and it takes up a lot of space.

I actually prefer forwarding the bookmark to myself and printing for the very reason that this extra info is not included, but that's a bit of a hassle and seems unecessary.

thanks for all your work!

I'm a big fan of Google Desktop, because of it's relative omniscience--it can find (in one search) words in a wide variety of file types. BUT it can't search my diigo tags or text, so I have to do a separate search.

So, how lovely would it be if Diigo could keep a local sync copy of my bookmarks, tags and highlights that GD could search?

Any chance of this happening?

Has anyone else played with using Diigo and the ability of Google Desktop to view the content of one's files in a web browser? GD also allows pdf files to be viewed as html, so I've been able to highlight and bookmark pdf files and have them searchable via Diigo.

Speaking of which, is there still talk of making pdf's directly highlight-able and comment-able via Diigo? The 'view as html' feature is far from perfect

thanks!

yes, i think

joel wrote:
> It's not easy to highlight online PDF file. Could you like to accept it as a premium feature later ?

is it possible yet to search the User Forum?

A seemingly easy and powerful way to accomplish this would be to add 'search group' as an option (under More, along with search mine and search all), but I don't see that.

thanks!

I agree, and that's why my one big fear re diigo is that will go away one day, and my hard work will go with it. This is a serious issue, I think, for researchers and anyone else who seriously uses the service.

Anything on the horizon in the way of an 'export' feature that will capture bookmarks, highlights, comments, everything, and let me save to my hard drive?

my solution to this problem (and i've definitely noticed it too) is to use Simultaneous Bookmark to Furl (and any other service you like). It's insurance.

I miss the old Diigo forums for at least one reason: There seems to be no way to do a full-text search of previous topics in Diigo forum! Maybe I missed it, but otherwise it's a step in the wrong direction IMHO--to rely only on tags for finding past posts.

On the bright side, the Email Notification feature is a beautiful thing!

By the way, it strikes me as funny that the "right" tags for this post are just about identical to the subject line. What's my point? I don't know. It's Friday.

good idea! do you know how long that google-lagtime actually is?

I accidentally shared a link with a group that I don't want to share. Can't figure out how to 'un-share' it. Can you help?

thanks!

hmm that's a bit annoying. I'll ask the admin.

other than that, i'm liking the groups
