This adds a provider to the bookmarks package for the chromium based Microsoft Edge browser.

Is this something I can install/update myself? I see the 3 files changed and could update the config file, but I don't know where to find the other two files to be updated

@lgoose You can install it as a Live Package. Just copy the Bookmarks folder from this branch to the Packages directory and it will override your installed package.

Do remember to remove the live package once this PR has been merged and you've downloaded the latest version of KP. Otherwise any future updates will keep getting overriden by your live package.

Also, if you face any issues with the package keep in mind to reproduce them by removing the live package. Mention the live package if you're posting an issue.

It is a pity this pull request has not been merged yet.

Let me provide a detailed instruction of how to use these changes (based on the comment from @sam97)

  1. Download the changed Bookmarks plugin: https://github.com/dozius/Packages/archive/bookmarks-chromium-edge-provider.zip
  2. Copy Packages-bookmarks-chromium-edge-provider\Bookmarks directory from the downloaded zip archive to %AppData%\Keypirinha\Packages or if you use a portable version to Keypirinha\portable\Profile\Packages
  3. Right click on the Keypirinha tray icon->"Configure package"->Bookmarks. You should see 3 files as it is shown on the screenshot. It means that Keypirinha has detected the modified Bookmarks and will use it instead of the default one. image
  4. Update the catalog: Right click on the Keypirinha tray icon->"Refresh catalog"->Bookmarks

Hi @PolarGoose Thanks for the detailed instructions. Probably a dumb question, but somehow I'm unable to connect them with what my portable installation looks like. I don't have anything in %AppData% of course, but also I don't see a similar looking structure anywhere, with an existing "providers" folder or anything that looks remotely like it. Do you know if I've missed something obvious or should it be placed in a different location? Thanks !

@Oroumov , I have updated my previous comment to take into account the portable version of Keypirinha. Is it clear now what needs to be done?

It was very helpful ! I had nothing in the Keypirinha\portable\Profile\Packages section, so it wasn't obvious at all (especially given the number of Packages folders in the tree of the portable version).

Everything is working just fine now, thanks !!

Final thought : for the sake of clarity (although it was obvious for me after customising other packages), you might want to add also that you need to enable a [provider/Edge] section in the bottom right .ini file for everything to be operational :) this might help beginners to understand it completely.

It is not necessary. All bookmarks plugins are enabled by default, including the Edge one.

My lack of knowledge is showing again :) Thanks for all your help !
