I have pretty much stopped using Camino ever since Apple implemented the bookmark syncing for Safari. Don't get me wrong, Camino is still my favorite browser and I would love to use it, but this particular feature is VERY important for me, so I'm sticking with Safari for now. I have posted about this on the mailing list, so it's nothing new for the regulars on the list.
I have often made suggestions on this list and have never expected the devs to do as I say. Just check my posts. I fully respect the devs in doing what they feel is best for their project, since I understand that they are providing a great application for free and invest their own free time to do so. It's exactly what I do with my own applications.
Very early on in the Chimera development I wrote ChimeraKnight and ChimerIcon as helper apps for Chimera and renamed them when Camino was adopted as the final name. Over time, there were lots of changes that affected these apps and I fixed them promptly. I have repeatedly asked the devs to notify me when the names or location of icons or the zip format of the archive or the download URL for nightlies are changed. I never ever got any response. The only feedback I ever got was that I should stop CK from downloading the change log from the mozilla site, because it would slow their server...
Since I don't use Camino any more, I now learn about important changes in Camino when my mail box gets dozens of bug reports (like the new nightly URL or the recent removal/renaming of icon files). As I see it, the devs want to have as many people as possible to test the latest nightly, but there is no appreciation for the tool that supports this goal. Is it really so hard to send me a short note, saying that the icons have been revamped/renamed/moved or that the nightlies will be at a new URL? Is it really asking too much to be included in the credits? I guess so.

P.S.: Has anyone tried to put the bookmark file onto their iDisk with a symbolic link to it in Camino's default location? Would this work? If it doesn't would it be possible to make it work? You see, this is my pet peeve and if I could get my bookmarks to sync across my multiple macs, I would be back to Camino.
