DeliciousSafari 1.6 – Tag Suggestions, Importer, & Enhanced Favorites

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Version 1.6 of DeliciousSafari is available. It includes tag suggestions, a Safari to del.icio.us importer, and an enhanced favorite tags menu.

Changes

  • Tag suggestions when adding bookmarks
  • Safari to del.icio.us bookmark importer
  • Combine tags to narrow results in favorite tags menu
  • Changed keyboard shortcut to Control+D
  • Fixed bug that prevented some URLs from being saved

Notes

You can change the keyboard shortcut for adding bookmarks (i.e. Control+D) via System Preferences. To do so:

  1. Open up System Preferences
  2. Select Keyboard & Mouse
  3. Select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab
  4. Press the + button
  5. Select Safari as the Application
  6. Enter Add del.icio.us Bookmark… as the Menu Title.
  7. Enter the keyboard shortcut of your choice. NOTE: some key combinations may conflict with other key combinations in the system, so you may need to experiment to find one you can use.

If for some reason you want to revert to 1.5 after installing 1.6 then you must use the Uninstall DeliciousSafari tool before trying to install 1.5. Otherwise the bookmarks will be stored in a format that only 1.6 can understand.

DeliciousSafari 1.3

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Version 1.3 of DeliciousSafari is now available. Tag completion, the most requested feature, is in there. Also, a major performance bug when dealing with large sets of bookmarks is fixed.

Changes

  • Tag completion when saving bookmarks (this is the most requested feature following the initial release).
  • Big performance gain creating the del.icio.us menu. This was causing Safari to load slowly and a spinning beach ball when posting new bookmarks. Everything should be lightning fast now. On my machine, the menu creation routine went from a 2.3 second operation to a 0.02 second operation. I repeat – DeliciousSafari should have NO noticeable impact on Safari performance.
  • Bookmarks are now sorted by name within each tag.
  • Expanded compatibility for auto generated bookmark titles that contain HTML character entities. This means math symbols, greek letters, and other characters will show up as expected, rather than as some weird HTML code like รน.

DeliciousSafari 1.2 – Initial Public Release

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Version 1.2 of DeliciousSafari was released November 26, 2007. After about two months of living on, I decided it was ready for the real world.This release has the following new features:

  • A list of all your del.icio.us tags.
  • Select your favorite del.icio.us tags for quick and easy access
  • Auto-populates URL and web-site title for new posts.
  • Recently bookmarked items
  • Search popular del.icio.us tags related to your tags
  • Links to the del.icio.us website

CORRECTION: I had previously posted this release as 1.3. I’ve since corrected it. This release was 1.2.
