Feature Request: Item order should be syncronized with Library

Open scienmind opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

Changing item's order in library is not reflected in Quick Dial item's layout, and vice versa, changing Quick Dials order, does not update the order in Library.

FF 56.0

In a first time, I got inspired with fast dial that have the same operation. The sync function need some work now but syncing index is very difficult with empty tab. However, I will consider a solution.

Thanks for considering the requests.


Off topic: Your SW seem to be very promising: it's fast, responsive and have the basics: folders, back-fwd navigation, some basic customization.

Coming from the original Opera Presto's speed dial, it was quite a challenge to find a replacement for this functionality for other browsers. They're all either slow and bloated, or can't use bookmarks as a base which makes it hard to sync stuff across devices and export/import, or have some basic flaws like not supporting sub-folders or navigating back from a mis-clicked folder.

Eventually I found this one for chromium-based browsers: https://github.com/j3nda/speed-dial-chrome It does everything quite right.

Now I'm thinking of switching to FF for 10^10th time, and with FF 57 closing in, seems like it'll finally be a decent browser performance-wise. Unfortunately, Simple Speed Dial doesn't seem to be in active dev. since 2014, so porting to FF is probably not on the horizon.

Long story short, I'm looking for a decent speed dial, and seems like your Quick Dial is on the right track. Keep up the good work! 👍

What is your intent of "question" label? A question to the OP? Or "the legitimacy of the issue is in question for now"?

The project has only one week, I don't maked custom tag and I use default... Enhancement is for feature accepted and question is for discution or future enhancement.

You can use the field "Description" of Firefox Favorites to store a JSON with image url, cell position (row, column), then Quick Dial will can use the Firefox Sync and this configurations not will miss never more.

@fernandosantucci This is an option... I've tested too an additional solution that use the separators in bookmarks to represent an empty cell in Quick Dial. But these two solutions have a side effect in bookmarks.
