I hope that whatever choice is made, the app can remain portable

That's the issue with relying on activex objects to bind behaviors. Windows has a lot of theses objects preinstalled, but some will need a separate installation. Implementing JSctypes would be best; it's also quite a bit of work because nobody seem to have done and published it on a JScript basis.

I tried the import.vbs. It seems to works with google chrome too, I just needed to change the path to :
bookmarkfile   =   objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERPROFILE%") & "\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks"

However Qatapult doesn't seems to know what to do with thoses types, may be that's just a bug in Qatapult. Did actions worked for you pigeonlips ?

pigeonlips:
yeah it works for me. I did have to use the full path to the import.vbs script and set the working dir to be the location of the sqlite3.exe.

not sure what you mean. I did get the 'import bookmarks' verb in the middle pane and it ran ok. I did have to select a bookmark in the web cat first.

I'm also working on a better more simple (but maybe more helpful) plugin where you can add or delete an entry from the website.db

The problem is that need to use 4 panes to get all the details for the row:

any entry in website (cat) > add bookmark (verb) > Name > URL

it would be sweet if qataplut knew that anything in the first pane that starts with http:// is a website and inherits the verb for website type. Then i could do this.

http://some.url > Add bookmark > Name

at the moment i added an entry called new (no URL) to work around, but i still need to use 4 panes or present a dialogue to add the name. I was hoping to avoid this as it always seems a little bolt on when i have to come out of qatapult to complete an action.

 

pigeonlips:
quick suggestion too - hope you dont mind.

In another launcher i used (executor) it separated the results list by what it called group which is your cats. This would be nice so that when i search for something say 'word' i can easily distinguish what it is. IE

APPLICATION
word
WINDOW
word - some open document
WEBSITE
help using MS WORD

ewemoa:
Don't know if it's a good idea, but if "multiple items per pane" is implemented at some point (in QS lingo "the comma trick" -- see page 15 of the manual), may be that would be a work-around of a sorts...

It does seem like some kind of grouping of results might be nice.  Not sure what a good UI would be for it though.

I used Exector for a bit at some point too but I don't think I ended up feeling that the grouping was done well (though perhaps better than nothing?).

The following screenshot is from one of the launcher's pages (to supplement pigeonlips' description a bit):
