If a deleted bookmarks has any tags, the app adds its tags to the tags of its surviving bookmark in the group, so that no tags are lost in this process. (This is the same as clicking from the main menu > Bookmarks Delete All Duplicates….)Īlthough this is fast, it may in some cases delete bookmarks whose name and/or location you would have preferred. If you click Delete All, the app will step through each of the group and delete all except one in each. To do this while browsing the duplicates report ( Reports > Duplicates), clicking the button:.There are several ways to mark (or unmark) a bookmark with this attribute: If you have, say, three bookmarks to a given URL, and activate Duplicate Allowed on one of them, Find Duplicates will now find the other two. Note that if you only have two bookmarks to a given URL, and activate Duplicate Allowed on one of them, Find Duplicates will now find neither bookmark. A bookmark so marked will never appear in a Duplicate Group. Duplicate Allowed Attributeĭuplicate Allowed is an is an attribute which may be switched on in any bookmark. In BookMacster, the checkbox is in a document’s Settings > General. In Smarky, Synkmark and Markster, this setting is a checkbox in Preferences > General. Duplicate Groups comprised of one bookmark in, for example, Bookmarks Bar, and another in the “root” will be ignored if this setting is checked ON. If this box is checked, Duplicate Groups which involve bookmarks in different Hard Folders are not reported.īookmarks whose lineage does not include one of these four hard folders, such as bookmarks in root directly, or bookmarks which are in a soft folder which descends from root, are considered to be in a “root” hard folder. Ignore Duplicates in different top-level Hard Folders is a setting which is useful if you’d like to keep a few commonly-used bookmarks in one hard folder, for example the Bookmarks Bar, but also have duplicates in another hard folder such as the Bookmarks Menu. Ignore Duplicates in different Hard Folders the app provides two mechanisms for you to do this. 3.5.3 Allowing Some Duplicates (Bookmarks)Īlthough duplicate bookmarks are undesirable in general, you may wish to allow duplicates of certain bookmarks for easy access. If you think that the app is not finding all the duplicates that you think are duplicates, see Aggressively Normalize URLs, below. The app detects as duplicates bookmarks whose URLs are the same except for schemes http vs https.

If these controls are disabled, that means that no change which could have added duplicates has occurred since the last such update, and therefore no update is necessary.ĭeleting duplicate groups in response to changes is not as laborious as finding them, so the app observes such changes and deletes defunct duplicate groups “on the fly”.
