Someone MUST make a new PowerMarks program.

<< < (12/42) > >>

I also use powermarks but the since upgrading to IE v7.0.5730.13 I cant seem to get the powermarks toolbar to show I have tried reinstalling powermarks but no joy.  :(

I have tried Power Favourites but find the lack of a last visited column restrictive
Also the lack of time added in the Add date column
miTaggedMarks imported the times visited strait from powermarks Power Favourites didn't
I also find the lack of the rating column annoying

Powermarks is the benchmark for any program I am looking for, no bells and whistles just a program that does its job  :)

I have tried linkman pro and once I got rid of the bits I didn't want on screen found it really good
again though it did not import the visited numbers from powermarks
What I do like about it is from the linkman tool bar in IE7 I can add URLs easily but I can also type into the search as you type box and as you type it shows the results in a box next to it so more that not I do not even need to open the linkman main screen for most of my searching.
If I do need to I can use a hotkey or just open the main screen from the toolbar

I would like to get the toolbar for powermarks working but if not so far for me linkman pro comes next then Power Favourites

As others have said Power Favourites is getting there it just needs to copy all the features that make powermarks so good ( more customisation etc ) and then it could be a winner

Strange, Powermarks works perfectly with IE v7.0.5730.13 for me.

Patteo - THANKS After your reply I had another go at reinstalling powermarks
I used End It All to close down everything but the system 
I then used Revo uninstaller to uninstall and clean the registry
I then did a clean install

AND IT WORKED  :Thmbsup:

I now realise again how good it actually is - It just works

Thanks Patteo I thought I had lost it  :-[

Thank you Eno, for mentioning End It All.

I downloaded it like 3 years ago but never got around to install or use it because I was using the free tools from www.sysinternals.com (now absorbed by Microsoft but still free).

By the way, I stopped cleaning my registry years ago because of the controversy over registry cleaning. Which cleaner do you use if I may ask, not that I'm going to start cleaning registry again, but who knows, if I get desperate again one day I may.

TuneUp Utilities every day on a schedule, seems very stable and have used it for some years now
occasionally CCleaner's registry cleaner I also use CCleaner every day just to clean
I defrag everyday with perfectdisk again very stable

I use XP home and if I don't use the three programs above I notice a difference so am very pleased with them

I use end it all but have just downloaded (but not tried) smartclose from

I believe most of the features mentioned by Superboyac and others are added to <Power Favorites> now. Please just list your requests if you need some new features to rock with your bookmarks :).

Wow, excellent work there.  You really implemented those new features!  This is turning out to be great.

I am running into a little error right now, I'll explain later...

I really like the addition of the bookmark add, silent add in the tray.  Is there any way to have those 3 buttons in firefox so we can stick it in the toolbar somewhere?
Also, can we have an option where once we call up Power Favorites and select a bookmark, it will minimize the program automatically back to the tray so the window doesn't hang around in the back?
The error I'm getting is this:  When I select a bookmark from Power Favorites, it doesn't work and gives me a message dialog box "Cannot open clipboard" with just an OK button.  I use a clipboard manager (ARSclip) that may be causing this because if I close it, PF works fine.  Can this be solved on your end?

For everyone interested in a Powermarks replacement, Power Favorites is really close.  That's my official word.
