> For the last two years, the Firefox Sync team has been hard at work improving bookmarks on all our platforms If they only would improve the actual bookmark manager. It's been a thorn in my eyes for quite some time now. - you can't find duplicates - it takes 0.5-3sec/bookmark to delete bookmarks (on my devices at least) - you can't cut found bookmarks out of a search (it copies it) - the bookmark search sucks And there are multiple other minor annoyances that bug me or features I would wish for (searchable offline bookmarks anyone? [I know that's going more in the direction search engine, but it sure as hell would be nice]) I'm kind of a horder when it comes to open tabs and bookmarks, so it is a pain in the butt to manage those. Last time I cleaned all my bookmarks I exported them and managed them with buku[0]. "Lost" my directory struc

Interesting that nobody seems to talk about the software itself and maybe it's alternatives. I for once welcome the concept of something like Finda and am looking for alternatives for me. > Finda finds things — windows, browser tabs, code editor buffers, browser history, apps, files, etc. Finda looks and acts like a normal launcher. The concept isn't new, but fast good launchers are rare. When we look at the Finda-Page (I didn't download the demo since I don't use Mac OS) we can conjecture how it works and there are a few things that bother me. It seems to always run in the background and listen for inputs. It's cross platform so it will probably have it's own file indexer. This all seems to add up to a rather large memory consumption. Anyway right now I'm still using the dmenu [1] launcher and am looking at many alternatives, most of whi

ch haven't been updated in some time. First the ones that haven't been updated in some time dmenu2 [2], interrobang [3], and lighthouse [4]. All nice launcher, but here comes my current favourite rofi [5]. Not only is it an active project, but it defines itself as window switcher and launcher (so what finda kinda does). Combined with it's extendable nature it seems to be a solid launcher. Bookmark functionality is for instance given with the buku [6] integration. But I'm still looking for the best solution. Here is the feature list I'm looking for: program launcher, simple calculator (through bc or python), file locator (maybe through locate), bookmark manager (firefox preferably). Other things like quick (online) search, clipboard management or the whole slew of other features provided Finda and panther and whatnot would just be extra. Does anyone of you have a nice lightweight solution?
