Feature Request: Ability to Export Bookmarks (and Bookmarked Documents).
type: item
description: FoxTrot Search is absolutely brilliant at helping me comb through thousands of files on my computer to find documents that are of particular relevance to my current research projects. I appreciate being able to "bookmark", because often it does take some time to examine the relevant documents in closer detail. However, aside from simply opening up these documents once again in FoxTrot Search, I would love very much to be able to "export" a copy of the documents, for example, into a new folder on my Desktop. At the very least, I wish I could export a textfile listing the filepaths of the documents themselves. I know this information is stored in a file in the user's library preferences: com.ctmdev.FoxTrotPro.prefs. For those who are more tech savy than I, I imagine it isn't too difficult to parse this prefs/xml file. If I could make a request, it would be to extend the bookmarking features of Foxtrot to allow users more flexibility in determining what to do with bookmarked documents but also the bookmark lists themselves. Actually, being able to backup the full results of a given search would be awesome too! Thank you so much for this amazing piece of software.
