Using Delicious

Delicious does provide good documentation, but we still needed a little supplementation.

List of Topics
Delicious Accounts

Delicious are associated with Delicious Accounts. You will have a separate set of Delicious available for each Delicious account. Bookdog populates Delicious items in its File menu by looking in your Mac OS X Keychain for passwords you have stored to the domain del.icious.

URLs with scheme "feed://"

If you enter a bookmark with a URL that has a "feed://" scheme, Delicious will silently change the scheme to "http://".

Duplicate Bookmarks

Delicious does not allow duplicates bookmarks. If you submit such a bookmark which duplicates an existing bookmark, the existing bookmark is deleted.

Your Delicious Password(s)

Bookdog looks for Delicious passwords in your Mac OS X Keychain.  (You may have one already in there, thanks to Safari or Cocoalicious.)  If it finds it, and you have not previously authorized Bookdog to use it, Keychain will ask your permission.  If Bookdog does not find the password even in Keychain, Bookdog will ask you to to enter it into as secure field, and give you the option to store it in Keychain for future use (with your permission) by Bookdog, Cocoalicious, or any application which is smart enough to look there for it ("Keychain-aware").

Saving/Uploading: Slow, "Timeout", "Service Unavailable", etc.

Yes, yes, we've seen these things.  Because this may be an evolving situation out of our control, please refer to the article on our web page for the latest news.
