Andreas,
The point is: testing it. Sadly I didn't received more than a single comment of its working. Now I'm asking again: please download the latest CVS, the bookmarks server, intall them, play with them, test and report how it works for you.

It works almost out of the box for FreeBSD (the latest stable) The only thing : autogen.sh should be a /bin/sh script, not a /bin/bash script to make it portable.
Same for the small convert script for the bm_dpi.
I'll change those.
Ah, if someone here has NFS mounted accounts (from another machine), I want to know how it works there. As unix domain sockets are accessible only to the local machine, and it listens on /tmp, it should work, but we need the proof!
The NFS part works between 2 FreeBSD machines.
Thanks for testing. May I bother you with the socket access test?
There is just one problem : dillo waits 128 cycles for the plugin to get online. On my machine, this seems to be not long enough. I set it to 256, and then it says it waits 90-190 cycles to get online ... weird ... and then it works. Maybe this hard coded waiting is not such a great idea.
Yes. The problem is the time gap between 'exec' and the dpi-program being operative. It should be minimal when the programs is on a local HD, but NFS may take some time. I added the wait cycles for this case, and don't know the "canonical" way to do it. Yes it could be done with a gtk-timeout function or something akin but the wait cycles were the simplest thing to begin with. ;) Cheers Jorge.-
