Strange error

I am tring to sync up with the server on a new machine and I get a strange error when I both run the wizard and/or try to do a manual download: CopyResource: Found no type associated with rdf:#$TYQdX2

Any idea whats up with this error and how I can get around? Using FireFox 1.5.0.1

how to delete the bookmarks

Hi, i've found that the plugin will be not able to syncronaze correctly the bookmarks if I start with two different bookmarks set.

An idea to fix immediatly the problem is to add a button I could use to remove all the remote bookmarks, after this operation I will insert it again.

If you have other solutions I'll appreciate it very much.

Regards, Maurizio

Accessing Bookmarks Remotely

An anonymous user wrote on the FAQ page:

Earlier versions of the software used to have a place where you could manually enter some XML tags which would be stored at the beginning of the XML file saved on the server, so that when you point your browser to the stored XML file, it would use a stylesheet to transform the raw list of items into a nice-looking web page with clickable links. This feature was removed, although it's rather interesting that this functionality (being able to access your stored bookmarks from other browsers) is still available if you're willing to sign up for their service.
You must be talking about some other software, as this has never been part of Foxmarks. --Todd 03:15, 11 December 2006 (EST)

What happens to my existing bookmarks when I install Foxmarks? Will my bookmarks get overwritten?

Abstract: From my experience, this paragraph needs to get revised. It does not reflect what's really going on when Foxmarks is installed on multiple computers with similar (but different) bookmark sets. Initial synchronisation of bookmarks on different computers needs improvement.

Environment: I am using Foxmarks on my own ftp server. I installed Foxmarks 0.84 on two computers disabling Automatic Synchronization to ease replaying the steps.

Description: When installing Foxmarks on the first computer, it created the master set foxmarks.xml. After I installed Foxmarks on the second computer, pressing Synchronize Now opened the following pop up window:

This appears to be the first time synchronizing.
A remote synchronization file already exists.
Do you want to use the local or remote file as the master?
[ ] Merge Contents
<Local>      <Cancel>       <Remote>

(hint for revision: this dialoge is not really matching the three alternatives in the FAQ paragraph.) I checked Merge Contents and clicked on Remote. After synchronizing was finished, I clicked Synchronize Now on the first computer. What happened was that basically the bookmarks of the second computer took over. I did not seem like merging took place. It rather looks like overwriting.

Then I resetted the configuration (i.e. restored old bookmarks, delete Foxmarks configuration, deleted foxmarks.xml). I tried the same as above but this time (on the second computer) I clicked Local instead. After synchronizing was finished, I clicked Sync Now on the first computer and a window popped up, telling me that "Foxmarks has detected that you have uploaded a sync file from another computer to the server" and suggested merging. So I clicked on the button Merge but again I bascially ended up with the bookmarks of the second computer.

How do I join different bookmark sets across several computers?

Security

I haven't found the question I am looking for. What are the security protections or guarantees from Foxmark that one's bookmark profile is secure from snooping from the outside? Particularly the government. Recall the issues of snooping and data-mining with Google inquiries creating a database on users.
