Any chance of adding delete function

[hugh1li]

Awesome workflow. But sometimes I wanna delete a safari (or chrome) bookmark using alfred. Any possibility?

[deanishe]

Nope, no chance I'm afraid. Safari's bookmarks, reading list and history are strictly read-only.

AFAIK, there is no (external) API for editing Safari's bookmarks.

Is there no way you can ammend the read-only bookmarks? Safari can delete the bookmarks from its GUI bookmark manager, perhaps it deletes them by their uid if they have one. Maybe Safari 12.0 changed something.

No. There is no bookmarks API.

Why don't you try to find out yourself before asking me?

It was just a note. I can't upgrade to Mojawe yet but will do soon and will certainly try. Deleting bookmarks quickly is still an annoying issue.

Yes, it is. And as explained when I closed the issue, this workflow does not (and never will) alter Safari's private data.

I suggest you look into Safari Extensions, which do have the ability to manipulate Safari's bookmarks.
