Bookmarks

OmniWeb offers several options for controlling how bookmarks appear, and how bookmarking behaves. You can choose to share your bookmarks on your local network, and even synchronize your boomarks with other Macs.

The Bookmarks Preferences pane

Show bookmarks in:

Check bookmarked pages for changes:

OmniWeb has the ability to check your bookmarked pages to see if they have been updated since you last viewed them. This setting controls the default interval for performing those checks. Individual bookmarks can have their interval changed using the Info panel for bookmarks. Available settings for the default interval are:

By default, file new bookmarks in:

This popup allows you to select the default location that new bookmarks are filed in.

Ask for label and location:

With this enabled, OmniWeb will display a sheet when you choose to add a bookmark allowing you to give the bookmark a new label and add notes.

Note that you can hold the control key to temporarily reverse this setting.

Bookmark Sharing

Publish "My Shared Bookmarks" on the local network: This setting enables bookmarks sharing which uses Rendezvous to publish your bookmarks across your local network. Any time you are running OmniWeb with sharing enabled, other users of OmniWeb running on your local network will be able to see the content of your My Shared Bookmarks collection under their Shared Bookmarks collection.

Synchronize bookmarks with other Macs:

OmniWeb allows you to use a WebDAV server such as .Mac iDisk to store your bookmarks files (Personal Bookmarks, Favorites, and My Shared Bookmarks), allowing access to them from any Mac with internet access. Changes made to these bookmarks are saved on the server, and appear automatically in other copies of OmniWeb using those bookmarks after they synchronize with the server. The following option are available:

For more information on bookmark synchronization see Using Bookmarks & History.
