BookMacster 2.8 – Organize and manage bookmarks, sync across browsers.

May 22, 2018

BookMacster is a bookmarks manager for your Mac, which plays nicely with iCloud, Sign In to Chrome, and Firefox Sync. It can be used in three ways, or all three:

Manage Browser Bookmarks. Add alphabetizing and tagging. Verify, fix dupes, consolidate.
Cross-Browser Syncing. Sync bookmarks of Safari Firefox, Chrome, and more among all your devices.
Directly. Keep your bookmarks in one central store, accessible within web browsers.

What’s New

Version 2.8:

Some housekeeping operations, particularly some during application launching, are now performed on a secondary thread. This improves performance and responsiveness slightly, but mostly it was done in case there is more than one user who sees macOS sometimes hang in these operations, for reasons unknown.
* Restored reliability of 'Edit', 'Cut' and then 'Paste' which sometimes failed in the current version of macOS.
The various change types shown in a document’s tab 'Reports', 'Sync Log' are now better explained, in tool tips and in the Help Book sec. 4.4.
Fixed a bug which sometimes caused a crash if two .bmco document windows were open while edits were made in the 'Preferences' or 'Manage' Browser Extensions window.
Removed all functions and user interface supporting the now-defunct 'Delicious' aka del.icio.us bookmarking service.
Fixed a bug, introduced in version 2.5, which prevented proper automatic recovery from some corrupt database files.
