livemarks not stored in target folder as per settings, rss feeds not stored separately either

[wallymann]

Add-on version
Add-on version: 3.3

Describe the bug
added feeds and imported feeds are not saved in the correct folder as per the settings.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. create a bookmarks folder e.g., "Livemarks".
2. set default RSS folder in livemarks options as the "Livemarks" folder just created in step-1.
3. import a RSS OPML file (example attached) or subscribe to a new RSS feed.
4. you will see that the RSS feeds are not in the "Livemarks" folder as per the settings, instead they are all at the root bookmark folder.

Expected behavior
all RSS feeds should be stored in the chosen folder e.g., "Livemarks"

Does this still happen?

[wallymann]

yes...the issue persists, i'm no longer able to effectively use livemarks. any suggestions?

[Marakai]

Adding comment that this is also happening for me with the latest version. Old/pre-existing feed work fine, any new feed added show this behaviour.

[evilpie]

@Marakai do you have any other extension installed?

[ghost]

Same here. Existing feeds work normally, but new feeds have no folder structure. Adding a new feed is not currently a useable function.

Edit: The problem is caused by the Default Bookmark Folder addon. Workaround is to disable DBF, save the feed, and enable DBF again.

Just to clarify, I am not sure whether I have quite the same problem as @wallymann. I am not changing the folder setting in Livemarks, and I am not clear whether @wallymann only has a problem when that default is changed.

The default Firefox folder for bookmarks has changed, though, which is why I use the DBF addon.

[evilpie]

Livemarks is not compatible with the extension "Default Bookmark Folder". The bookmark star in Firefox actually remembers the last selected folder as well.

[ghost]

@evilpie It used to, but now the folder has to be reselected every time - unless that's just for the Linux version. "Default Bookmark Folder" restores the old behaviour, as do other addons :)

Once the feed is saved, there is no problem with Livemarks.

[wallymann]

ok...i do have the DBF add-on...i will test disabling DBF when adding feeds to livemarks

[evilpie]

I don't think that is true, but anyway not important: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1432604.

Is anyone experience this issue without "Default Bookmark Folder" being installed?

[wallymann]

ok...i tested the "disable DBF, import/add livemarks, re-enable DBF" and it's not really working.

the import appears to work, in that it creates the livemarks in my desired location. see image 1 below.

however, all of the actual RSS updates are just dumped into the root bookmark folder. see image 2 below.

[evilpie]

This is expected. "Default Bookmark Folder" will move all bookmarks created by Livemarks. As I said both extensions are incompatible.
