Bug

In my bookmark view of http://www.diigo.com/item/bookmark/grahamperrin/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.securelist.com%2Fen%2Fblog%2F2168%2FSocial_disaster_and_trojan_bankers_on_the_rise when I opt to remove a highlight, removal does not occur.

Workaround

In my library view of the same bookmark, removals are successful.

This bug is now
http://uservoice.com/a/ndok9 (2010-09-16),
In the library bookmark view, highlights can not be removed

1. highlights added to
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Shorter-URL-for-%22Link-to-this-Message%22-p8860385.html

2. visited My Bookmarks

3. for the bookmark, Share menu | Get Annotated Link…


= Bug =

Copy Permanlink dialogue does not progress beyond 'loading…'.

I have tried a few times, waited a few minutes.

The annotations do exist: 



- and could be reviewed after reloading the page:



- but only in Safari; reviewing the URL in Firefox 3.0.6 with Diigo 3.1.6.13 yielded zero (0) annotations.

Whilst my original bookmark
http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin/41994+diigo
remains broken, sharing the bookmark to a group e.g.
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/41994+diigo
produces a working bookmark.

groups.diigo.com lacks the option to Get Annotated Link.

I wondered whether the addition of the annotations of the group's copy of the bookmark would result in appearance of the annotations in a subsequent review in Firefox, but no; Diigo in Firefox still shows zero annotations. There's a separate bug…

* Safari 4 Public Beta (5528.16)
* Mac OS X 10.5.6, Intel
* Diigolet 3.1b506

This bug
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/41994 is probably blocked by
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/41995 and I suspect that Diigo may fail to offer an annotated link for other types of truncation.

1. http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark

2. tick to select all

3. More Actions… 

4. Extract Annotations…

5. scroll down

6. click the 'Copy' button

7. click the 'Close' button

8. paste from pasteboard to an editing environment

= Bug =

Annotations are not copied to pasteboard.

= Environemt =

* Safari 3.2 (5525.26.12)
* Mac OS X 10.5.5

= Workaround =

5. scroll down

6. do _not_ click 'Copy' or 'Close'

7. begin selecting from around the bottom of the annotations space

- and probably take care to _exclude_ the 'Copy' and 'Close' buttons

8. finish selecting at around the top of the annotations space

- and probably take care to _exclude_ the 'close' hyperlink'

9. command-C to copy to pasteboard

10. paste to your favourite editor.†

† Try pasting to Tofu, the results are remarkable.

Example of breakage

Support angle bracket enclosures!

Breakage is not limited to Google Wave URLs.

When I paste http://forum.immunet.com/index.php?/topic/282-spero-more-information/ to a sticky note the hyperlink breaks.

When I paste the same URL in angle brackets, the whole thing disappears.

Please, can you add support for angle brackets?

A suggestion in the UserVoice area:

No, there's much more.

Experiment with the search field, and lists, and headings (dividers) within lists etc.. I haven't looked at the online help in a while but there should be plenty of good videos and other resources to help you find your way around the features.

> does the improvement involve case sensitivity?

I guess so, looking at http://diigo.com/0cqqh alongside http://www.wuala.com/Diigo-4/1903711/001.png

1. at http://www.diigo.com/item/bookmark/grahamperrin/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.screencast-o-matic.com%2F view a few comments on page 1 of 3

2. click '3' (for page 3 of 3 of the comments)

3. click '2' (for page 2)

4. click '1' (for page 1).

Bug

At pages 2 and 3 then at page 1, the implication is that there are 47 pages (44 more than the 3 originally indicated).

At pages 2 and 3 then at page 1, only one comment is shown:

* page 1 shows the most recent comment
* page 2 shows the one before that
* page 3 shows the one before.

Looks good to me. Thanks for speedy service.

Not quite what you want but … how about,

1. bookmark http://www.diigo.com/user/chrisl/?privacy=private

2. create an accelerator or macro for that bookmark.

Use that bookmark as a starting point whenever required, then:

* edit the address field of your browser (not the search field of Diigo) to specify tags.

Both points are good news - thanks to Joel and colleagues.

That's most reassuring :)
- when I first read about the shift to a freemium business model, access to past caches was my greatest concern.

Re: use of cached copies I have a lesser concern, but it's not related to the price …  suggestion posted to http://uservoice.com/a/dX5J1.

1. http://www.eggblogg.co.uk/2009/07/using-speech-bubbles-to-get-your-point-across.html

2. highlight the heading text
Using 'speech bubbles' to get your point across

Bug

Pencil icon is missing, and so:

* no contextual menu, and so
* the highlight can not be edited or deleted
* notes can not be stuck.



Environment

Diigolet 4.0b14
Safari 4.0.3 (6531.9) in Mac OS X

Sandy and all, many thanks.

I strongly recommend moving some way back towards the behaviour of highlights and menus that was normal to Diigo 3.x.

Requiring the user to move away from the highlight, to work with the highlight, is very unergonomic (and seems to be fraught with problems).

The Diigo 3.x approach, allowing the menu to drop from the highlight (not from some way away from the highlight) was intuitive and easier, and I never had such problems with it :)
