General Software Discussion / Tray Icon "Stuck" on Purple
« on: April 26, 2013, 05:29 PM »
Hello,
I just purchased and installed Linkman Pro. It installed with no issues and I was able to import my Firefox bookmarks. There were about 23,000 bookmarks and 3,000 folders and the import seemed to go fine. I then opened Firefox and tried to use the Linkman "Add & Edit" icon to add a new bookmark. I now have two problems:
1) When I tried to add the bookmark I got the error "a connection cannot be made with Linkman". I confirmed that both the Firefox addin and Linkman are using Port 80. So I thought that perhaps I needed to reboot which I did. I now have the following problem.
2) The Linkman icon in the Tray has been purple for over 1 1/2 hours. I understand that purple means that it "is loading or saving a bookmark database file". Is this normal for the "1st open" after importing a large number of bookmarks or is Linkman "hung". I do see constant disk access but I have other apps running so I really can't be sure Linkman is still running OK. After importing I did a File | Save As and saved the database file to a network drive (where backups occur). I was able to roam around and even Sort the imported bookmarks so I've had no indication that anything is corrupted but after the reboot this very long delay in a "purple state" is worrisome. How long will this "load or save" go on?
Thanks
