Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Hi @vacy

Floccus expects the bookmarks on the server to be in a sub folder for each browser window. So, for your use case, you will need to create a new subfolder under /startup-bookmarks and put the links to open as tabs in there.

@marcelklehr
thanks for the quick reply :)
it kinda works that way, the error stays though.

aaand it does not seem to be what i did expected.
it does not open the tabs upon browser startup, does it? only on a sync?

It should sync a few seconds after browser startup, but only if the last sync is more then X minutes old (X being the interval you configured)

it kinda works that way, the error stays though.

Can you try clearing the cache in the profile settings?
