Just a quick note to say thank you! I've not properly explored all the options available yet but it already seems to have everything I was looking for.

One suggestion might be to have some Netvous buttons like the one I cropped for quickness and plan to use:

Hi,

Yes I know. I don't have any strong identity for Netvouz yet so I need to create a set of logos and buttons that people can use on their web sites.

I'll let you know when... :-)

Hello again Henrik,

I'm continuing to find Netvouz (spell it right this time) so much more intuitive to use than other certain online bookmark managers. If I could request one new feature it would be the ability to export to enable back up etc. tough I realise this would lead to an increase in bandwidth. Do you have a 'roadmap' as such? What are your plans?

Henrik said...

Hi,

There is already an export option available. When you are logged in, click the More Tasks >> link in the upper right corner and then click Export.

You can choose to export to an HTML format compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox and just about any other browser, or to a Netvouz proprietary XML format.

The XML format exports all information about the bookmarks (rating, hotpick etc.) and is the best choice if you make a backup that you plan to import later.

Was this what you were looking for, or were you looking for a more automated routine? I have been thinking of enabling e.g. monthly backup emails. But it's not yet implemented.

Thanks for the reply Henrik. Opera would seem to be at fault in that it does not recognise the javascript in the 'more options' link. Worked fine in msie and no doubt in firefox too. Opera does have problems rendering certain scripts which may or may not be addressed in their next update, which I believe is an attempt to rationalise some of their more 'individual characteristics'. I'll update you if you wish?

If I were being fussy I would suggest an sql or csv export but what you have now is more than adequate. Personally I wouldn't require any kind of automated and/or email backup though.

Thanks again Henrik - great work.

Hi,

Hmm... The More Tasks>> worked with the version (8.0) of Opera I've used for testing. I think I will need to verify that again though.

What version did you use?

version 8.5 I have attempted to switch everything back to its default settings (especially js - allow everything!) but without any improvement. I shall continue to check in case there is a change I made that has been forgotten. I'm just about to run a preview of v9.0 too so I'll see how that fairs too.

domestic empire said...

Works perfectly in version 9 (preview). Will reinstall 8.5 to double check that version before I send you on what might be a wasted journey of re-checking.

domestic empire said...

Completely removed all trace of 8.5 and installed again but results are the same. I've been searching various 'user.js' files for opera but find nothing as yet that deals with switching bewteen hidden div styles or any reference in the help forums. For now at least I can switch to v9 for the additional options. Now to import all my 8.5 settings again...

Hi again,

You're right! I tried again with Opera (8.02 on Windows XP) and it doesn't work. I must have changed something that broke it in Opera... Other similar features work, such as clicking the "what is it?" in Tools so I think it should be an easy fix.

I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks for your troubleshooting!
