As per my previous post, after losing my phone's bookmarks during a factory reset I decided to either back up my bookmarks or sync them so I installed "GoMarks for Google Bookmarks" to sync with "Google Bookmarks", this was fine except that I really wanted my links in a tree structure and Google Bookmarks only allows a single level of folders. IE 8 has also been having problems with some sites (compatibility mode on or off) so I really wanted to start using Chrome.
I have since moved to "ChromeMarks" on my phone and now use Google's "Chrome Browser" to maintain my links. I have added the Chrome extension "Bookmark Tree - Version: 0.2.3" to display the links in a "proper" tree view (and with the right options return to the same view every time).
It was easy to export the Google Bookmarks and import these into Chrome. I have set up Chrome's sync options so that I will have the same bookmarks across all computers I have running Chrome and now "ChromeMarks" allows one way sync of these (currently manually invoked) to the phone.
"ChromeMarks" doesn't display the tree structure but does allow you to view a single folder and navigate up and down the tree. It is very much early days for the application but it was good enough for me to buy.
I posted these comments on the author's blog and he was quick to respond:
- Font too small, configurable would be nice
- It would be nice to at least be able to set where it opens to avoid the "Bookmark Bar", but better to remember where it was opened last and return there
- ".." should sort first
- Some color wouldn't hurt, it would help folders stand out more for starters.
- Its too easy to close it when pressing back button exits, could it actually do same as ".."?
