Preserve time stamps for imported bookmarks about floccus HOT 10 CLOSED

Hey :)

are you talking about the timestamps on the bookmarks in the browser or the ones in nextcloud? The ones in the browser should not change, I believe, but the ones in nextcloud are inevitably created when you drop something into the floccus folder... :/

Please disregard the above comment, and tell me which version of floccus you're using :D

I’m using version 1.3.3 from the Firefox Quantum app store.

How do you get the creation date of a bookmark in the firefox ui? Do you perhaps mean the modification date which becomes apparent in the "recently bookmarked" section of the bookmarks menu?

@sunjam I'd gladly try to troubleshoot / fix this, if you'd answer my questions ;)

Okay, you are correct on me seeing the modification date rather than the creation date. That is confusion on my end as it is not something I normally view in a bookmark manager. I would prefer to be able to hide the modification date column within the Bookmarks app. Or, to automatically apply a hide-able tag with the date added to the bookmark as just added:yyyy-mm-dd. I’m used to seeing the url location displayed as it was in Firefox 52. Pardon the digression... Here is the old layout in Firefox for “Show all Bookmarks”:

Columns at the top - Name, Tags, Description, Url Location, Mod Date.

You can re-organize columns by drag-n-drop

And hide / show various aspects of your bookmarks

And sort how the bookmarks are displayed

At the bottom of the app you have basic editing functions

And if you click “More” you see all available editing functions.

Note how the visual spacing between bookmarks is very compact in that first image so you can browse very quickly, with an option to insert blank spaces “separators” as needed

I can't do much about the way firefox displays bookmarks, sadly (unless you're talking about the nextcloud bookmarks app). I can tell you, however, that the upcoming version of floccus will not update bookmarks if they have not been changed, which should fix at least the incorrect modification timestamps. ;)

Ah, thanks for sharing your thoughts! You've probably already seen nextcloud/bookmarks#424. It completely overhauls the ui of the bookmarks app on the server, removing the modification date from the UI in the process. Feel free to leave feedback over there, too. :) (the screenshots hopefully give an impression of how it feels, in case you don't want install and build it yourself)
