Cheers, Lars ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Konqueror Date: Thu, 25 Nov 1999 11:09:27 -0000 From: "Alan Prescott" Hi Lars - Sorry if this isn't the correct way to pass on suggestions for Konqueror development but I can't seem to find an official path. I don't know much about Konqueror except that it's a browser, so I'll pass on a few thoughts generated from using Netscape. In a multi-user environment it would be highly useful if the bookmarks system could include other bookmark sections (e.g. from other users, corporate-level, department level) etc. One thought would be to have the ability to specify sections / entries in a bookmark file as exportable and then whether importing users have read-only/read-write access - could even get fancy by being able to specify which users/groups etc could import the section. The importing bookmark file could the create a slot to hold the imported bookmarks (say from user/directory/bookmark/file:section) - you'd have to take into consideration that the source bookmark file may be unavailable (nfs site down etc.) and just show the section with a 'currently unavailable' message. It would also be handy to be able to create a default bookmark file so that any new user created gets this set of bookmarks - I'm thinking corporate use here! Another handy feature regarding the import concept would be to be able to generate a free-standing section which could be held on floppy and then imported on other systems - I'd like to be able to easily transfer my personal bookmarks from my machine at work to my home beast. How about a temporary bookmarks file, valid for the current session only - when you are surfing you frequently find sites that you may want to come back to during this session but don't want the bother of addding and deleting them from the 'live' bookmarks. Then you'd have to provide a facility to transfer temporary bookmarks to live bookmarks. It would also be useful if the last temporary bookmark file was available for re-load in the next session. A lot of rambling but these features aren't available via Netscape so they may be of interest.
