Selectively delete Safari favicons from the icon cache
Authored by: peragrin on Dec 23, '04 03:35:57PM

Safari has one other " feature" that makes it so I don't use Safari as often as I would like.

Why does Apple store their book marks as XML files and then makes importing and exporting them a pain.

Why do I care? Well I use three different computers all with the same bookmarks, when ever i update the bookmarks, I upload the Firefox(mozilla) HTML file to my website. I can view them online, or I can easily download the updated files. Since I use windows, Linux, and OS X(gaming, Server, & Primary(powerbook)) I need to be able to use my bookmarks easily.

Konqueror from KDE makes updates easy. three mouse clicks. In Safari I have to activate the debug menu(actually I haven't turned it off), import, then manually edit the bookmarks to add in updates.

heck even a simple import/export utility would make my day.

Two solutions:

- Turn on the "debug" menu and it includes an "export" function... which exports to HTML

- use the freeware "Safari Bookmark Exporter", and it will let you export your bookmarks in a number of formats - OmniWeb, OmniWeb 5, IE, Camino, Mozilla, Firefox, iCab, Opera, etc.
