A comment on the question "Duplicated, not merged!" in Xmarks:
Sorry, I wasn't referring to your suggestion. I was just saying in general. Other threads have mostly mentioned Firefox plugins. – Francois Botha, on October 14, 2009 19:03-

This is no longer a Firefox only issue. Xmarks is used by other browsers as well. Some Firefox plugin to remove duplicates is therefore NOT a solution. -

Maybe with the problems Xmarks for Chrome is causing, finding duplicates might be something important to work on. -

I'm trying out XMarks for Chrome Alpha. As per many users I also ended up with a lot of duplicates. I tried installing Duplicate Bookmark Detector (an extension for Firefox), which removed all my duplicate bookmarks, but now I'm left with a whole lot of duplicate folders, most of which are empty.
I agree that merging folders should not be part of the normal sync process. However I strongly suggest you add two functions under 'Tools' in my.xmarks.com
1) Delete duplicate bookmarks (regardless of their location in the folder hierarchy)
2) Merge similar folders (provided that their parent folder is the same).
Because these actions will be manual user-instantiated actions, the user takes responsibility for them.
