This movie shows a new user creating a new Bookmarkshelf to combine bookmarks from five web browsers, and then adding a bookmark to one of them and showing how it appears in the other browsers. Running time 4:53, 664 x 636 pixels, 13.4 MB. Produced 2011-05-31 with BookMacster version 1.5.4.
If you watch carefully, although the narrator missed it, at 4:18 into the movie, just after the "4-5 minutes later…" caption shows on the screen, the new MacUpdate bookmark magically appears in Chrome.
Here are some of the "bonus out-takes" that you might want to read before actually trying it yourself:
• Clients are places where you have bookmarks. Clients are usually, but not always, web browsers.
• The choices of Clients given when the new Bookmarkshelf is created consist of (1) the supported web browsers for which BookMacster finds bookmarks in your Macintosh user account, and (2) the accounts of supported web app accounts which BookMacster finds in your Mac OS X keychain. More Clients, such as other web app accounts, loose files, and web browser bookmarks on other Macintosh user accounts, may be added later in the Settings ▸ Clients tab.
• The order of Clients may matter, particularly during the initial import, because when merging bookmarks together BookMacster will resolve conflicts in placement or naming by going with the top Client first. So, if you have a browser with bookmarks in the best condition, you may use the up/down triangle buttons on the right to move Clients up or down.
• Any bookmarks to the same site, in different Clients, will be merged into one during the initial import. This behavior is because, by default, in the Settings ▸ Clients tab, for all Clients, in the Advanced Settings sheet behind the gear button, the Merge by URL option is checked ON by default.
• After the initial import and before the export, you can move or rearrange your bookmarks in the Content tab, and also perform operations such as Sort, Manage Duplicates and Verify; look in the Bookmarkshelf menu. Large-scale moves are easiest to do using the Move to… item found in the contextual menu which appears when you perform a secondary click on an item.
• If, after learning a little about Structure tab and the Advanced Client Settings behind the gears in the Clients tab, you decide that the initial import of content should have been done with different settings, it's easy to go back and start over. Click in the Bookmarkshelf ▸ Delete All Content. Then make the settings you desire, and finally click in the menu Bookmarkshelf ▸ Import.
• After the initial import, we activated an Agent. Although some users appreciate this, for others it can be a big decision to allow an Agent to start syncing and sorting their valuable bookmarks automatically. If you are at all skittish about an Agent, we recommend that you likewise wait. Use BookMacster for a few days, performing some Import and Export operations manually, before creating your first Agent.
