I'd happily pay a reasonable subscription.

The main thing I'd want gone - for all users (not only paid subscribers) - would be the unusually intrusive banner ads in Diigo Meta.

When I use a custom version of Post to Diigo I see that each space between tags

%20

is presented in the dialogue as a comma between tags

,

without a space.

Screen shot to follow.

The dialogue states

space separated. Use " " for tag with multiple words.

but if I ignore that advice (if I use no spaces, if I leave the commas) the end result seems to be OK :)

Are there steps towards compatibility with other (non-Diigo) services that use tags?

Just wondering …

More recently, the Post to Diigo dialogue presents as
space-separated
the tags that I script as
comma-separated.

The end result is fine.

Tag: resolved

Does the report option serve your requirements?

I can't visualise merging all highlights to a single paragraph. (The vast of majority of my highlights are only parts of sentences.)

Share menu | Generate report …

The nearest thing to an always available report for a bookmark is Diigo Meta. Examples:

http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2F5501775%2Frelaxed-minds-remember-better?tab=comment&uname=dethspark

http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Fwww1.euro.dell.com%2Fcontent%2Ftopics%2Ftopic.aspx%2Femea%2Ftopics%2Fservices%2Fen%2Fnetwork_assistance?f=m&tab=comment&uname=grahamperrin

(IMHO there's much that could be improved in the meta user interface, re: such improvements there are separate topics.)

There's also Diigo About, from the 3.x era of Diigo e.g. http://about.diigo.com/about/www1.euro.dell.com%2Fcontent%2Ftopics%2Ftopic.aspx%2Femea%2Ftopics%2Fservices%2Fen%2Fnetwork_assistance

Other considerations: bookmarks in Diigo groups

Workflow between the personal library copy of a bookmark and the group copy of a bookmark. What should happen when any group member finds what they think is an alternative URL for the group bookmark.

Etc.…

I'll add to this topic:

* references (only) to other topics that touch upon this subject.

Exceptionally: I'll plead for others to refrain from adding, at least until after I have finished collecting.

The intention is for this topic to remain a clean, clear, CONCISE point of reference. One that might form the basis of a future FAQ entry within Diigo help.

Please do discuss, but discuss under the topics to which you are referred.

Many thanks!

Briefly, and of importance:

Diigo 4.0 beta includes support for the character

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

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.

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).

> Moving

Not possible, sorry.

You can copy (share) from your library to a group.

I don't have that problem. This suggests a problem with your installation.

Please post details to a separate topic, include at least:

* your operating system, and version
* your browser, and version
* the version of Diigo.

Thanks

People are too often confused by Diigo's approach to this.

Things are not equivalent.

Bookmark ≠ page comment, page comment ≠ sticky note,
bookmark ≠ floating note,
bookmark ≠ highlight, highlight ≠ sticky note, etc..

A bookmark in your own collection of bookmarks is:

* either public (by default), or private.

With a public bookmark: all highlights are public.

With a private bookmark: highlights are not normally revealed.

Major considerations

1. The highlights that Diigo describes as private are visible to the
public through interfaces such as
http://www.diigo.com/user/Firepol?tab=9 | Expand All

2. If you stick a public note to a highlight, then that highlight will become visible through additional interfaces.

IMHO Diigo's description of highlights as private is misleading, as demonstrated by point (1).

Essential reading:
Private highlights are not private; they're public at Diigo About and elsewhere;
the plan there is to use the word personal in lieu of the word public.

FWIW my own opinion is that users are too often unaware of, or confused by, the whole private/personal/public/group caboodle in Diigo. I would prefer to see a highlight described as simply a highlight. One simple word. Add to the description only if necessary.

Graham

Performance today seems to be better. Consistently less than five seconds, with caching enabled or disabled, for normal or advanced views of my library, with 100 items per page.

At the foot of the page, 'Diigo Tools' is not hyperlinked.

Presenting only a subset of the tools gives a false impression.

@ Maggie

Please, did that script lead to anything?

(I posted An omnipresent Diigolet, or something like it in December 2008, then stumbled across this 2007 topic whilst answering Diigolet toolbar won't stay put.)

I imagine performance implications, but I thought I'd ask…

> a list of all places it does not work(?)

I thought about that, but (for myself) did not bother. A maintenance chore.

For me, the time that I might spend on maintaining a list of negatives is
better spent on simply using Diigo — on demand.

Are you using Diigolet?

See below, foot of page, under the heading Diigo Tools:

Diigolet For All Browsers
Diigo Chrome Extension

- those things are just two of a range of tools.

You can use one, or both, but neither one presents annotations automatically; you must load Diigolet, or click the 'd' icon, to view annotations.

Please note that Diigolet offers more features.

(Using the extension for Chrome, you'll see no page comments.)

> manage group" >> "group overview"

That wording may be outdated. Possibly from version 3.x of Diigo, or earlier.

Try:

1. Group settings
2. Edit

then you should see the categories.

> for example with a Word document

Neither Microsoft Office binary nor Office Open XML files can be uploaded to Diigo 5.

The URL of any incompatible file can be added to your library using the Post to Diigo tool.

Workaround

Bookmark http://www.diigo.com/user/tyme2dot0?type=image for quickest access to images in your library.

> a "quick link button " or something looking like that to share a capture

I rarely use the capture feature of Diigo (use Firefox only for testing) but that's a good suggestion.

> and annotate

AFAIR there was a similar suggestion, long ago, that Diigolet should offer a link to the annotated view of a page (should not require a trip to the library).
