About |
|
|
What is it ? |
|
PBM is a Perl script (released under the GPL) that is going to help you make your bookmarks available for public distribution by using the description field of your Netscape bookmarks ... |
Another script, Dead Link Check may help you verifying the network existence of your bookmark links (or links in general). |
Here is an example of what can be generated using the script. More examples are available on the know user lists page. |
|
How it works ? |
|
Just fill the description field of some of your Netscape links or folders (can be useful to cut a branch [if your folder are tree ordered at least ]) with tags that you will then use using the script keyword option. |
When running the script the help option gives a small description of the script options and default values. |
|
Requirements |
|
PBM uses Perl 5 and no special library. |
|
Future evolutions ? |
|
Adding other useful options like "split", "minitoc" ... |
Creating a Perl/Tk bookmark editor |
Make PBM work with Netscape's Bookmark aliasing |
Add "frames" as an option of PBM (may rejoin the "split" idea) |
|
New releases ? |
|
New releases of PBM are announced on Freshmeat |
To be the first to know about new releases, you may want to join the announce mailing list. |
