A great bookmark app, but missing a few functions.
Here are the features and functions that are needed/missing:
There is a major issue with doing a restore from my previous backups. The restore process does not copy the folder structure as it was from the backup. I had groups with folders that are now not in the same location as before the restore. They are showing in the left "tree", but not in the location where they are supposed to be. Also a major critical FLAW, all my folder icons (that I spent a lot of time setting up, are gone). They never got restored. That was never mentioned anywhere in the documentation.
This also happens when importing data from a different app into Raindrop. (even though the import file shows the tree structure intact.) I just did an import from Skeema in (HTML format), and the categories came through but all the bookmarks were just put into the "unsorted" collection. All the imported folders and nested folders are empty. How do I fix this issue? I do have a subscription that according to the documentation should have that option available.
Each open window does not show by itself in the apps menu window. I have 6 open windows with many tabs, and NONE of the open windows or tabs show in the Raindrop app anywhere (except in the "all bookmarks" list), but are not sub-sorted into each window where the bookmarks/tabs are located. (There should be a "sort" by "open windows" option). None of my open windows show up in the app, all of the open windows show up in the other apps I have used, but not in this app. How do I save tabs from each separate open window into a new collection/folder? How to save the tabs in the current open window (session), to a "collection", if they are not even visible because the open window is not showing anywhere in the app? Why does the app not have a menu column/list for separate "open browser windows"? (see Tabmanager.io) There should be a way to show all of the content of open session windows along with all the content of saved session windows in the main "list view" screen. (needs a "session history" menu), so new current session tabs and groups can be dragged and dropped into previously saved session windows collections. Active session browser windows are not offered to merge with a saved session window in the left menu box (to update the folder/window), for example, move all my saved YouTube tabs into a saved window of choice. Being able to merge a current window into a prior collection project window would be a great feature. (this is possible in Tabmanager.io app). I do not see a "merging function" option in the app.
Also, there is no "save tab groups " option that even shows up in the app. I also do not see any way to add individual " tab groups" to any collections/groups/nested folders. There should be a way to save "tabbed groups" to a "nested folder" in a collection. I think this is a critical missing feature. also, it would be great if you could add a function to add "tab groups" to the "add tabs list" to the pop-up box menu. I think that would solve the issue. I would think the app would have this function integrated by now.
There is no way to save a range or group of "highlighted selected tabs", ("shift + click" or "crtl + shift" a group of tabs next to each other) (ie. save (3 tabs), without saving all (17) of the tabs in the address bar.) The app wants to save every tab in the bar. Right now, I can only save each related tab one at a time in a collection. There needs to be more options on saving tabs in the tutorial. (Developer reply: Unfortunately highlighted tabs list is not detected yet. Will be improved in future updates. 7/19/2024).
I do not see any way to change the color of the "group" names (or collection font colors or sizes), so they stand out. Right now, they are only a "dull" gray color, very hard to see it. What is the difference between the clipper and mini app? (not much of a tutorial about the feature).
In conclusion, the app is really great, except for all the "needed functions" that are not available. if the missing features/functions were added, the app would be a superb 5-star app.
