Browser Bookmarks Manager For Leo

[Thomas Passin]

I have developed a browser bookmarks manager that runs in a tab in Leo's log frame.  This app is an evolution of an in-browser app I wrote years ago.  It comes with its own Sphinx User's Guide, from which I quote:

"The Tabbed Bookmarks Manager (TBM) is a browser bookmarks manager that improves on the bookmark managers that come with web browsers. It provides

1. Much better abilities for finding bookmarks;

2. Much better ability for organizing and reorganizing your bookmarks, thanks to Leo’s tree functionality;

3. A capability for seeing your bookmarks in context;

4. Much better abilities for discovering bookmarks that you had forgotten about;

5. The change to discover a relationship between various bookmarks and their categories that you had not realized.

6. The ability to include bookmarks to files in your file system.

7. The ability to write notes in your bookmark nodes.

The TBM imports your bookmarks from your browser, and also creates new ones when you want to store them. It has its own GUI, which opens in a new tab in Leo’s Log pane. The TBM has search and display capabilities, and you can also also use Leo’s own search and tree organization commands."

I have submitted it to the Leo-Contrib repo.  Until it gets merged there, you can get it from my fork of the repo, at Tabbed Bookmarks Manager.  The user guide is included (and your can rebuild it yourself).  Open the file docs/html/Bookmarks_manager_Users_Guide.html in your browser.

I've attached a screen shot.

If you have been following my posts on tabbed apps, this is an example that uses the techniques I've been exploring.

I use this every day, all the time.  I couldn't really get along without it any more.
