New version: 1.54.0

• The snippets menu no longer automatically updates after you edit/add/delete snippets.  This was breaking some things.  I'll get that working again in another release
• You can now include %sel% inside a snippet (make sure that it's lowercase) and it will replace that bit with the selected text when you use the snippet.  If there is no selected text then it just puts the snippet in as usual

Sorting snippets - the good news is that you don't need to wait for me to do it.  From the menu: Script Settings / Sort Snippets.  That pops up a screen where you can choose alphabetic or custom.  Select custom and drag and drop them to where you want them.  The system should remember the ordering.  Categories still come before uncategorized snippets... extra feature to change this later on....

How exactly does the word count.. well, count? I've noticed that the word count that the script records on posts does not match the word count in, say, Word, usually off by 2-5 words, sometimes more. It's not that big of a deal, of course, but something I noticed and wondered about on how it calculated the word count and what made it so different from the word count of Word or any other word processor.

I suspect that Word does something cleverer than the script.  The script basically:

• Takes the text of the post and replaces every group of whitespace characters (tabs, newlines, spaces etc) and replaces them with a single space
• Splits the text up into an array of things separated by spaces (which is approximately an array of words)
• Returns the count of items in that array

Hi SSieth!

Is it possible to display the bookmark tags on the bookmarks page (as another column for example)?

Hi SSieth!

Is it possible to display the bookmark tags on the bookmarks page (as another column for example)?

So - for each bookmark, which tags it has?

I think I could do something along those lines.   Would you want any particular behaviour for clicking the tags?

[Al Terego]

Hmmm, good question.

Reality manipulation would be nice, but I'm not sure if Tampermonkey has implemented the prerequisite API.

Maybe changing the active filter?
What do the other users think?

[Nymphadora]

I definitely like the idea of tags. Great suggestion Al!

Personally (after looking at the images you gave as examples, I don't think they would need a column (unless the script required it or that made it easier)

Being able to click on one of the tags that changes the list of bookmarks sounds like a lot of work but would be very cool. I have no idea if that's even possible... I guess that would be what you mean by "Changing the active filter"

But any sort of useful tags would be very cool!

[Ssieth]

OK - will add the listing of tags and having them go to the relevant BM list for the next feature release version (as opposed to oh-hell-there-was-a-bug version) :)
