Highlight current date on popup calendar

Current date on calendar is not displayed, so I always have to look up the current date in order to select what date I want. When the calendar pops up, the current date should be highlighted so that I can more easily select a date relative to today with less chance of mistakes.

Do not post tweet immediately as the default.

The "When to Tweet" should not be set to "now" since I could use any other Twitter app for that. I'm at Twuffer so that I can delay the tweets. It's default post time should be set after the last tweet in the queue (by a settable delay increment; e.g., 4 hours, or 1 day).

You can include a "Now" button to post immediately.

Don't reset the "when" time to "now"

I'd like the "when" time to keep the last time that I'd set. There could also be a button to set it to current.

Distinguishing bookmarks based on browser type

I suggest that xmarks have the ability to distinguish between browser specific bookmarks. For example, the "place:..." bookmarks that Firefox uses, does not work with the other browsers. It would be nice for xmarks to recognize these browser specific differences so that they don't get synced to the other browser types.

Ideally, it would use a special "property" so that, if desired, the user could remove such a property to override the default behavior and/or add such properties to other bookmarks to prevent them from syncing with other browser types. This would allow profiles to embody the more abstract distinctions between bookmarks (e.g., work, home, desktop, laptop, etc.) while these properties would separate the concrete differences due to browser differences.

If I could request an enhancement, I would suggest that xmarks have the ability to distinguish between browser specific bookmarks. For example, the "place:..." bookmarks that Firefox uses, does not work with the other browsers. It would be nice for xmarks to recognize these browser specific differences so that they don't get synced to the other browser types. Ideally, it would use a special "tag" so that, if desired, the user could remove such a tag to override the default behavior and/or add such tags to other bookmarks to prevent them from syncing with other browser types.

This would allow profiles to embody the more abstract distinctions between bookmarks (e.g., work, home, etc.) from the concrete differences due to browser differences.

Hi Colin... it appears to have succeeded on IE. I turned it off, though. I was able to revert back to an earlier sync history so that I could resync my Firefox installations. I'm afraid to use the IE plugin again. Apparently something that it sync'd caused a problem with FF. I had just installed Win7, however, so the only bookmarks were the preinstalled ones.

I noticed, a blank top-level bookmark branch in Firefox. I just now checked and it is back to being called "Bookmark Menu".

I also have the problem. I type in my password and wait for the "wait" icon to go away, but the profile selection dropdown is never enabled. This happens on all my machines now... ones that dont have a profile selected and ones that do... I am unable to change it in either case. All on Firefox (both XP and Mac).

Could it be due to the bad experience I had in trying to install the plug-in on IE8 on Win7? It caused problems as well, so I had to restore the sync set back to before I installed the IE plugin.

Adding Sync of IE8 on Win7 causes sync problems for Firefox on XP and Mac

I am unable to sync my bookmarks either automatically or manually on Firefox on XP and on my Mac. I think this started once I installed the Xmarks plugin for IE 8 on Windows 7. I never noticed before, but now I have an untitled top level folder (the same level as "Bookmarks Toolbar"). I am unable to give it a name, but I believe that it is the root of my bookmarks menu.

The problems started after syncing my Win7/IE8 installation. The first indication of a problem was a comment about a duplicate URL "" being added (that is probably because of the "Bookmark Duplicate Deleter" plugin for FIrefox. Subsequently, I am getting dialogs from Xmarks saying conflicts in bookmark folders. One example is "Bookmarks Toolbar" vs. Links. The latter comes from IE8, I assume, but I don't know why there is an error in matching the folders.
