 |
|
| Can autohotkey add a url (and a title text) to Firefox bookmarks system silently? With silently I mean without popping up any windows and controlling them through keyboard actions or something like that. |

Do you mean this thread?
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic126.html
If so, I can't find any details on firefox bookmarking there (I searched for "firefox" on all thread pages and skimmed the hits). But maybe you meant that there's this general tutorial on postmessage which perhaps could be used for firefox bookmarking in some way (yet to be found)...
I also googled "firefox bookmarks postmessage" and similar keywords but didn't find any page that seemed to fit what I'm looking for.
I should have mentioned that I seek a method that works with Firefox 3 so it would somehow use the new places system with its database. I found this reference for developers http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Places |

Just an idea, run the site hidden then silently send Ctrl+D (Bookmark this page) having your script (critically for most reliable results) hooked onto shell and set the transparency of the window to 100% before it has a chance to appear then send {Enter} to it.

Thanks Conquer. I've looked into navigating the GUI via AHK. However, I want to be able to set a custom title and URL for the bookmark. CTRL+D only bookmarks the current URL and its fixed title.
In the Organize Bookmarks window if FF (CTRL+SHIFT+B) there menu Organize has an action called "new bookmark". Triggering that gives a small input screen for URL and title. If I found some easy way to trigger that input screen directly then going the "GUI route" might work out. But I'd still prefer some command line-ish solution.
Any more ideas? |
