Fast Dial + Weave the Mozilla Labs App
Anonymous (not verified) Tue, 07/14/2009 - 02:47
I recently got the Mozilla Labs App Weave which syncs bookmarks, applications and other things across all your computers, I figured it might be useful. I currently use Fast Dial on two different computers though and found out about the Fast Dial bookmarks folder.
The problem with this is that because of the bookmarks being shared my fast dial page is the same as the original computer I used to sync with Weave. So my fast dial page is the one from my other computer. Thinking I just had to delete the bookmarks in my fast dial folder that were from my other computer, I did that. However, now each time I load up a fast dial page it loads up completely blank. I did find that I can scroll down to go to the second page with the fast dial icons I originally had on this computer. Is there any way I can make it so it will load on the second page instead of the first? I'm new to "pages" in fast dial.
Thanks!

A little unclear.
Do you want to synchronise your bookmarks, but not your Fast Dials ?
If you do not wish to synchronise the two Fast Dial Folders you could go to Bookmarks, Organise Bookmarks, Select the Fast Dial Folder and rename it on one of the computers.
Such a method works with Foxmarks/Xmarks to disable synchronisation of the two Fast Dial Folders, maybe it will work with Weave.
Once you have done that, please try checking on the non functioning machine that your Fast Dial Folder is in fact home.
Please see here.
As for the pages in Fast Dial, If you increase the number of cells in Fast Dial, you should then find that you only have one page.
But it does sound as if Weave might have deleted some of your cells.
Please let us know how you get on.
Many thanks

If you manage in some way to interrupt the synchronisation then you could try restoring an earlier Version of your Bookmarks to recover the lost ones

But this needs care.
For when you restore your Bookmarks, this may change the name of the Fast Dial Folder back to what it was before, causing synchronsation to happen again.
So if possible, restore,(from a previous uncorrupted Bookmarks), rename Fast Dial Folder, and then enable Weave.
Many thanks
I await your reply with interest !
