The toolbar (2)
Moving entries
Select one or more entries within a single folder.
A click on nach oben moves the selected entries one position up, nach oben one position down. The movement is circular; an entry being pushed above the top of the folder appears at the bottom, and vice versa.
The key combinations Alt+↑ and Alt+↓ move up and down respectively.
Sorting entries
Select either the folder to be sorted or entries within that folder and click on Sort. The contents of the folder will be sorted alphabetically in ascending order. If "folders first" in the configuration dialog is activated, subfolders will be arranged before bookmarks. If the option "recursive" is activated, subfolders within this folder will be sorted as well.
Search
Select either the folder to be sorted or entries within that folder and click on Sort. The contents of the folder will be sorted alphabetically in ascending order. If "folders first" in the configuration dialog is activated, subfolders will be arranged before bookmarks. If the option "recursive" is activated, subfolders within this folder will be sorted as well.
Click on the Symbol Search in the toolbar.
Press F3.
In the lower part of the main window the search dialog shows up.

At least one of the checkboxes "Names" and "URLs" must be selected. The found URL will be selected in the bookmark tree. The text in the field containing the URL may be edited.
Upload
Changed bookmarks will be uploaded automatically on program exit. However, you may save your data manually at any time by uploading them over the active connection.
Click on the symbol Upload in the toolbar.
During the transport a "Wait" dialog appears on the screen. If the connection hangs, e.g. because the server is down, click on "Cancel" to make the dialog disappear. Keep in mind, however, that this may corrupt the remote file. To be on the safe side, upload the local copy to the server when the connection is OK again.
If no active connection, but a local file is defined, "upload" will store the data in the local file.
Download
At startup bookmarks will be downloaded automatically from the active connection. During the jBoom session you may download bookmarks at any time from any connection:
Click on the symbol Download in the toolbar.
A popup menu appears, containing the names of all defined connections and an additional entry "local" for the local file. Click on an entry to start the transmission. The downloaded entries are merged into the existing tree, following these rules:
  • If a bookmark with the same name exists at the same position in the tree, its URL and comment will be replaced.
  • If a folder with the same name exists, it will be entered.
  • In all remaining cases the entry will be added to the tree.

If you download a bookmark set from a different source than the actual one, it will become a folder right below the root whose name is taken from the remote source's root folder. After downloading, the additional entries are part of your bookmark set. Changes on the server they came from won't affect your data. To adopt those changes, simply download the data again.

An explicit download may also be appropriate if you have involuntarily deleted several entries. Load the remote file or the local copy again to restore the deleted data. Note, however, that this will also undo any other changes you have made.

To replace the current data set by a different one, first empty it by cutting the root (see Editing entries).

Root visibility
Normally the root of the tree is shown at the top. As this isn't overly interesting, it can be switched off in order to save space:
Click on the symbol Root, to make the root visible or invisible.
As a side effect all expanded branches in the tree get collapsed. So, if you click on the symbol twice, the root visibility is the same as before, but all folders are closed.
