Since the Konqueror team is working hard on squashing bugs, I decided to switch back from Firefox to Konqueror now that things are working again.

I really did not like some aspects of firefox, like the integration with the other components. PDF’s should just open in Okular and all the other stuff surrounding downloading and opening stuff Firefox can not open, seems broken to me. But one aspect of Firefox is good: the plugins. There are plenty. One of them Foxmarks really rocks, you can have the same bookmarks on all your different computers you use.

I wanted the same for Konqueror and as Konqi also support plugins, I decided to write one this weekend. It is a simple plugin, it just copies the bookmark file to a location. And ‘a location’ can be anything of course. In my case ‘fish://some.remote.server/home/toma’.

If you add a new bookmark it automatically copies it over and when you launch Konqi it checks if the remote location has a newer file. With those two options, it just means you automatically have the same bookmarks on each computer.

Want to try it? Get it from svn or if you use opensuse, get it from my
repository. Make backups, it’s beta stuff, but it worksforme.

ps. Please do not make comments about what I should have done instead of creating this, i will not publish them.
