112292 - [rfe] Import keyword from links (support lossless exchanging of bookmarks)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Andy Edmonds]

The bookmark keyword feature is very powerful and represented in the HTML 
version of bookmarks:
<LI><A href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%s" LAST_CHARSET="ISO-8859-1" 
SHORTCUTURL="gg" LAST_MODIFIED="1001728531" ADD_DATE="1001728512">Google 
Query</A>, 

as SHORTCUTURL.

However, if you Right-Click "File Bookmark As" the keyword is not imported -- 
and it should be.

Would require a duplicate check -- a keyword is rendered ineffective if 
multiple bookmarks have it.

A keyword should also be ignored if it is a valid URL or can be corrected to a
valid URL.  I wouldn't want a site to sneak the keyword "google.com" into its
entry in my bookmarks.

[Bogdan Stancescu]

Good point Jesse (Comment 2), even a confirmation box would be ok when keywords
are imported -- it's a lot less work than editing the bookmark to type in the
keyword manually anyway, and it should be more than okay security-wise too.

Checked, keywords are exported/imported properly now, so closing this
