you know what would be cool?
if #firefox 's #bookmark folders were actual file system folders and not another reimplementation of them that is virtually inaccessible to systems outside the browser

if you are implementing a file-system metaphor within your program, that's when you should just step back and use 9P instead

or hecc, just use the basic file system of your OS

@grainloom but it isn't a file system metaphor... it's a (strange) real-world metaphor, where you have a folder containing references to books. like, a piece of paper saying "a great book: page 101, line 25". and some colorful stickers attached for it to be easily found, tags. or real tags if you want.

@leip4Ier yes, i agree a DB actually makes more sense because it is not storing files. however! i personally would like it to relate to a directory structure, because I would like to have it so that every bookmark I make actually takes saves a snapshot of the page, and saves that file in directories that correlate to my bookmarks structure.

A is just an interface to an .

And actually, a file can contains an , without even disturbing . ๐Ÿ˜‰

The advantage of is : if you don't need it, files are way better.
