    # Safari Bookmark Manager

     

    Alfred 2 Workflow to manage safari bookmark (delete / edit)

     

    # Installation

     

    You may need to install the gem (sorry...)

    Right-click on the worflow, show in finder.

    In Terminal, drag and drop the folder to `cd` to it.

    `gem install CFPropertyList`

     

    # Usage

     

    find a bookmark, go to file action, select `Rename Bookmark` or `Delete Bookmark`

     

    # How it's done?

     

    A bit sloppyly...

     

    Couldn't find a good doc to do it via iCloud directly. (and didn't really search for it).

     

    Alfred App find bookmark by because of their cache version in the user folder: ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/Bookmarks

     

    Each file is name with a unique id.

     

    Editing / deleting this file is not enough, it's just a cache.. Bookmark will reappear or be re-edited by Safari.

     

    Another file maintain a more permanent version of the bookmarks: ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

     

    Steps:

      - find the bookmark uuid (the cache file name, passed by alfred)

      - find the matching entry in the plist and edit it / delete it (also add entry for iCloud -- see code)

      - repeat the action on the cache file
