Hi, sorry to hear you lost your customised bookmarks. I have a few questions to help me understand the problem:
|
|
That is very strange. I've been testing with Firefox and haven't replicated what you describe. Did you by chance clear your browser cache at all? The data to customise the app is all stored in local storage. If not you might be able to recover your bookmarks by using the console. Try running |
I'm having the same issue actually. Using Firefox, Cloned the repo. When I load the page, I do a test by removing some bookmarks, add some bookmarks, changing accent color, and a few settings. If I refresh it'll stay for a few, but if I close my broswer completely and open it again, it revert to normal. |
Thanks @Exxmixx for the additional info. I've been running more experiments with Firefox (Firefox Quantum 64.0 Mac) and I've not been able to recreate what you describe. When I open new tabs, close Firefox and reopen etc my settings persist every time. I would really appreciate knowing what version of Firefox and OS you are running. Along with the steps you follow in your tests. |
I'm on Firefox 64.0(Quantum as well) testing on Windows 10, Kubuntu 18.04, and even tested it on my personal web server that's running Ubuntu Server 16.04. It does seem to be ok with Chrome though. If I open it in chrome and close it out, it works fine. BUT if I make changes in chrome, close it and open it in firefox, it doesn't show the saved changes. I did notice that no matter what changes I make, the files, bookmarks.js for example, doesn't change. It still has all the bookmarks from when I first cloned it. |
The changes are in the local storage, so if you configured your firefox to clean cookies, etc... or you use some kind of container, it maybe cleaned the local storage. I tried it in a new profile and it worked perfectly. Can you list us your addons ? Edit: yeah, the changes are in local storage. So if you modify it in chrome, you're not gonna see anything in firefox. Maybe an option to export the config so we can copy/paste it between browsers ? :) |
That is correct @Nandicre2. nightTab uses local storage to save all preferences bookmarks. Which means the following:
nightTab is a small personal project. I have no access to databases or infrastructure to support saving user preferences to a server etc. I may look into adding import and export controls to move preferences and bookmarks between devices. I've done this before with other projects. |
Not sure if I should add this here or make it a separate issue: When upgrading versions (eg. from 2.3 to 2.5) is there a way we can save our bookmarks / migrate them across versions? |
@Munkenmo The bookmarks are all saved locally in local storage. Whenever there is an update to nightTab it will access local storage and migrate all bookmarks saved there. Can you describe the steps you are going through when you update and details on your browsers and the computer environment please? |
Windows 10 |
@Munkenmo I understand now. So if you open nightTab from To update from one version of nightTab to another I recommend you unzip to the same location as the last version. Eg: Your bookmarks are all still located at the last url. So in theory if you unzip the contents of I hope this helps. |
@zombieFox Just confirming that you are indeed correct, doing as you described just worked perfectly. |
Maybe it's a silly question, but is there a way to save the customized bookmarks? Using v1, without a reason I lost my configuration.
