Properties of Update Scanner Bookmark
Thu, 01/29/2009 - 20:25 — bob
Hi,
it's very nice to see, that sites in Update Scanner are now normal Bookmarks, thanks!
But I can't reach the UpdateScanner relevant properties of the sites I already added. I can only edit the normal properties for bookmarks. Did I overlook anything? Right click on bookmark - then "properties". What about an "Update Scanner Properties"?
Besides this it works perfect. ;)
Kind regards,
bob

Hi Bob,
You are right, it is only possible to edit the Update Scanner properties from the Update Scanner sidebar. If you click the little blue arrow (or press <ALT-U>) this will open the Update Scanner sidebar, and you can edit the properties there.
Perhaps it would be useful to edit these properties from other places, but for now the Update Scanner sidebar is the place to go.

I am finding that right clicking the bookmark (from the update scanner sidebar) and then left clicking properties often does not bring up the update scanner menu to edit; and that I must stop and restart firefox, and repeat the same process to access the correct properties menu. Any thoughths?
Re: Properties of Update Scanner Bookmark
To elaborate, this is an issue only when I first hit properties on any pages bookmarked in the normal bookmark toolbar (i.e. not the Update Scanner bookmark toolbar). It seems that you need to view properties from the Update Scanner bookmark list first, in order to access Update Scanner properties.

Hmm... this is a weird one! It seems that there's some firefox internal code that is having trouble distinguishing between the bookmarks sidebar and the updatescanner one.
Thanks for your report, I'll look at how this can be fixed..
