Feature Request: Configurable Bookmarks location

[JD]

Well, Yummy FTP Bookmarks are just actually files. So the Bookmark list you see is actually just like the Mac side view on a regular FTP Browser window, except it is fixed to only view the Bookmarks folder inside the Yummy FTP Preferences folder.

There is no notification given when the extension display preference changes, so to see the change in the Bookmarks window you'd need to manually choose the "Refresh Listing" option from the Listing menu, or close and re-open the Bookmarks window.

Anyway, I'll need to do some more jiggery pokery to fix this up. Ugh! And all this just to support Dropbox : the reason is that Dropbox *doesn't* support Mac OS meta data (such as Type and Creator) therefore Yummy Bookmarks *had* to have an extension assigned to them in order for them to be designated as Yummy files...

Kinda wish I hadn't started along this route at this point, but in order to support .Mac / MobileMe synch of Bookmarks (as I am planning to do) then I would have to do the same thing, and for the exact same reason (which is a bit sad considering it is an Apple product) so it isn't wasted effort at least

Ah, but those of us that love Dropbox as much as Yummy FTP do appreciate your efforts!

Sorry, perhaps I came across a bit strong there I'd hoped the update would go 100% smoothly, so I was a bit disappointed that I didn't make  that happen. Never mind - I guess that's why we have beta versions!

Anyway, I'm glad the work is appreciated

[JD]

OK! I have it sorted now for the next build

I *completely* missed some in between beta versions (now at b17) and noted the new (beta) changelog (appreciated!) and DropBox support! W00T  I totally love you for this JD, you are my unsung hero (for this moment that is, sorry!). Although I'm now wondering why I haven't received any topic notifications, but maybe I accidentaly switched these off somewhere. Subscribing again! (and a huge thank you again, this is awesome and all your work supporting this was certainly not in jest)

Edit: Works flawlessly!

[JD]

You're welcome!

And... for my next trick... iDisk support for Bookmark synching is now working in b18

I'd like to bump this topic too.  I really need to sync my bookmarks, and Dropbox is certainly a solution to many of my sync issues so far. 

Shouldn't all we need here is the ability to override the default location of the bookmark storage folder?

Thanks!

DropBox as well as iDisc syncing is now supported in v1.8, released a month ago.

The instructions to set it up are in the Read Me - select 'Read Me' from the Help menu to view this file.
