NoScript Synchronization Feature - Discussion

[Giorgio Maone]

Is this an F3-only feature? (that's my guess)

Ouch! Sorry, forgot to tell you. It heavily uses the Places database, which is strictly a Firefox 3 / Seamonkey 2 feature.

NoScript 1.9.2.8 brings many improvements to this feature, which is mature for prime time now IMHO.
v 1.9.2.8
=====================================================================
+ 100x speedup of bookmark-based configuration persistence
+ NoScript tries to synchronize its configuration with foreign
bookmarks when the "Backup configuration in bookmarks" gets enabled
in order to ease adding new "slaves"
x Excluded temporary permissions from bookmark-based synchronization
x Fixed XMark synchronization failing because of XMark's 4KB limit on
bookmark URIs
x Fixed opening the [NoScript] configuration bookmark hanging the
AutoPager extension
+ Disqus ClearClick exception
+ Feedly ClearClick exception

Resurrect!

Just a tiny feature request: would it be possible to allow the user to specify where the configuration bookmark should be kept? It's just kinda annoying having the "[NoScript]" folder on the end of the bookmark menu. I prefer to keep extension-related bookmarks in the Toolbar folder, myself - I never use the bookmarks toolbar.

Nice work on this feature BTW: I'm using it in conjunction w/ Xmarks and it works beautifully

I just joined the forum just to echo this sentiment.

The [NoScript] folder, at least optionally, should be placed under Unsorted Bookmarks. That way it's hidden from view except under Organize Bookmarks. Additionally, the description field of the folder or the bookmark or both might contain an explanation of its purpose.

Thank you for the suggestions, I am sure if they are feasible, they will be implemented by Giorgio. In the meantime please be patient and realize that there are more pressing and long awaited features in progress that need much of his attention.

So it looks like XMarks isn't going to play nice and actually allow syncing for large bookmarks. Their recommendation from what I can see was to ask you to split them up into smaller multiple bookmarks. Would this be possible? Also, I have another question.

I accidentally deleted the noscript bookmark when i was reinstalling. I went into settings and turned off then turned back on the noscript sync feature hoping it would recreate the bookmark but it did not. Is there some other way to get it to be remade?

**This also seems to be the same with Weave which is what I am using. Can't sync the noscript bookmark.
