Bookmark Editor

Registrar offers a bookmark  system that allows you to quickly find back registry keys and values that you visit often. The bookmark editor allows you to add a description to a key or value which becomes visible while editing and optionally color the key or value so it can easily be distinguished from the other keys and values when editing the registry.

To enter the bookmark editor, select the registry key or value you want to bookmark and choose Bookmarks... from the main menu or from the popup menu which appears if you right-click on the item.

Setting a description for a bookmarked key or value

Make sure the registry path of the key or value you wish to bookmark appears in the keyname field. Now edit the description in the description field. When you are finished, click the Update button so the changes will be stored.

Assigning a bookmark to a category

Select the bookmark so that its path appears in the keyname and value fields. Now select the category of your choice by selecting it in the category tree or by typing its name in the category field. You can create or delete categories by selecting a category in the category tree and pressing the New Category or Delete button. As soon as you're done click the Update button so the changes will be stored.

Search bookmarks for text

To search for any text anywhere in the bookmark's keyname or description, click the Search button. You will be prompted to enter a text string. After you click Find Next, Registrar will highlite the next bookmark in the current category which contains the text you have entered.

Selecting a color for a bookmark

Select the bookmark so that its path appears in the keyname and value fields. Now select the color of your choice from the color field. If the bookmark represents a registry value rather than a key you can choose only between a highlited and a regular presentation. When finished, click the Update button so the changes will be stored.

Importing and Exporting bookmarks

 To import a set of bookmarks from a Registrar bookmark file with a .ini or .rrb extension, click the Import button.

To export all bookmarks, click the Export button. If you wish to export only a single bookmark category rather than all bookmarks then right-click on any category and select Export Category from the popup menu that appears.

Bookmarks with a URL reference
