    i use ie
    a key reason i decided to try diigo was the notes feature - but what i found was
    1 ] i am unable to edit my own notes - so to put notes on my own site pages i would have to add ever more notes
    2 ] the note 'persistence' is far too long - can't get them to go away when blocking other material, far too slow
    3 ] some public pages have junk/trash notes on them - so it's just a nuisance [like google page with note such as 'this is neat' - that's just a nuisance

    overall not what i had hoped
    not worth using

    ah so - lousy 'search' [zero results when i know there are items] is due to system being behind ? not. / unless it's behind by a long, long time / every time i've tried search it does not work - does not give me results that i know are tagged /

    so Sandy - why have you not addresses any of my issues at all ?? why ignoring them ?

    oh thank you so much for identifying this @$^@$ nuisance - so it's Diigo - this is VERY frustating / and it occurs far, far too much / well i've had zero responses on my own partial list of problems with diigo / so i guess i'll have to start yet another search for some tagging program that actually works the way one should work

diigo frustrations - 37 views

  • Michael GDB
     
    been using diigo for a long time - with many frustrations / so going to begin listing those, with bleak hope for some possible fixes or even just sympathy / many of my frustrations seem to be such obvious problems and weaknesses
  • Michael GDB
     
    another frustration -
    when i stop a research project in the middle
    i leave the one-click tag in place
    - not replacing it with my standard tag ('tosort')

    then when i begin next session, next day, etc
    i do not know what is in one-click tag
    unless i look to test etc

    what diigo SHOULD HAVE -
    tool tip for one-click save
    SHOULD SHOW current one-click tag

    or the Bookmark tooltip should show it
  • Michael GDB
     
    use of tags is problematic and frustrating

    example -

    1 >>> i did a search on a particlar word/string in my bookmarks
    137 hits

    [just did it again, and now 142 hits, up from yesterday]

    2 >>> selected all of those
    did a Revise Tags...

    in practicality i had to choose 'Add' instead of 'Replace' tag
    [many are 'tosort' - which need to be replaced /
    but many others are also tagged correctly already]

    3 >>> so having 137 items with my new tag
    (i'll use 'dtw' abbrev here now)
    i now (as i did yesterday initially) go to My Library
    i see
    My Items 4406
    My Tags 274
    Top Tags - dtw 141

    4 >>> i select dtw tag
    and see
    My Items 98 --- 98 ????????
    look at bottom - 1-98 of 98

    uh gee, shouldn't there be 141 ?
    conclusion - diigo is ____________

    so all my work is not very useful

    5 >>> go to one of the items and select dtw from there
    instead from the sidelist
    same 98 - crap

    6 >>> now want to delete the 'tosort' tags from those which are now dtw tagged
    see in Related Tags :
    'tosort' 37
    hit that
    get My Items 37

    7 >>> no way to select these items
    for editing the tags
    except one by one
    SHOULD BE way to select and drop/replace a tag

    8 >> tried Snapshot on the first of the 37 items
    that seems useless since it takes way too long to open/see

    9 >>> tried Preview on the first of the 37 items
    that's a video, began to play
    when i hit Close tab
    it would not stop playing (audio still going)
    so it's taking resources that should be stopped

    10 >>> now - magic
    suddenly there are now checkboxes beside the 37 items
    so that i can select them

    what crap is this ?
    it's a different display,
    not date sorted now

    and i see no way to change the view from this
    to what was or to 'choose' this view

    11 >>> option to Revise Tags is "ALL TAGS"
    that's just plain stupid
    who would ever use that ?

    it SHOULD ALLOW selecting of tags to delete

    12 >>> i had hoped to be able to sort through my tagged items
    and be able to refine the tagging
    it seems totally a waste to try to do that
