DONE: Datestamp internet explorer favorites to ease locating

<< < (4/4)

f0dder:
I'm currently struggling on whether to think this whole thing is a good or a bad idea. From a purist viewpoint it's bad, since you should sort your bookmarks into sub, sub-sub, sub-sub-sub (etc.) categories. But from a pragmatic viewpoint, it's useful - even if you do subgroup your bookmarks.

This is one reason why explorer-style links-to-bookmark-URLs is nice; this would probably be more complicated for firefox et al.

mouser:
i do subgroup my bookmarks into a nice deep rich organization, but i still often quickly add a bunch to root and only periodically file them away, and i frequently get completely lost trying to find one i was just at, even though i know that i bookmarked it very recently.  this lets me find it immediately.

f0dder:
We seem to do the same bookmark things, then, mouser :)

mouser:
some ideas to think about for a future version:
it might be nice to have some date-based rule for adding timestamp -
like maybe:
add dates only to bookmarks that are 3 months old or newer, others as normal.

or
add full dates only to bookmarks 3 months old or newer
within 1 year old they get YYYYMM
beyond 1 year they get YYYY

(this could actually be very useful as a way of quickly separating old from new).
