Good news - the bookmark manager will definitely run right from the file system, no server required. That's in Firefox. This has the advantage that it can not only display links to, but also load file system files into a browser tab. This means that one could actually use it as a partial zettelkasten by writing text files into a directory tree, one note per file. The smarts would come from the names of the directories - consider them to be something like tags. What it wouldn't provide in its present state is direct links from one zettel to another, and searching by time of the zettel. It will, however, search by the heading (directory or tag) names. The headings can have any number of nested levels, which is equivalent to the original paper system of identifying them by a code that gives the position of a zettel in the filing box. And you *can* in fact link one of these zettels to another - with the existing system - and have that link be clickable (backlinks aren't provided, though). It's just that it's very clumsy to save the information. Once I figure out how to store annotations in a more practical way, that problem will be solved (it might require a server). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
