Simple, light and very useful to my daily work
Es stellt 1:1 die Lesezeichen als Metro-Kacheln dar. Das ist gut, zuverlässig, funktional.
Leider gibt es keine Suchfunktion. Und nun zu den No-Go:s
Das FAVICON wird nicht ausgewertet, alle Kacheln haben zunächst die gleiche Farbe, Kacheln können nur einzeln neu eingefärbt werden (keine "zuletzt benutzten Farben", kein "Copy Layout"). Außerdem reagieren die Kacheln nicht auf das Mausrad zum Scrollen, nur die Lesezeichen der Lesezeichenleiste (und nicht die weiteren Lesezeichen) werden als Gruppen dargestellt, und ein Verschieben der Tiles ist überhaupt nicht möglich. Also Optik OK, Funktion saumäßig, Mehrwert bescheiden.
Presque bien. Il manque la possibilité de réorganiser avec le drag'n drop et de faire défiler avec la molette de la souris (car on ne voit pas ce qui dépasse à droite)
