TSGL: Bookmark checker needed

[Eric and Merna Bitter]

Tilman,

I enjoy surfing and searching.  However, Googling various combinations of
the words "bookmarks," "favorites," "dead links," "valid links," "verify,"
"duplicate," "freeware," "hard drive," and/or "software" has revealed that
there are many, many, many, many ...................possible programs
available.

It has also revealed that AM Deadlink pops up in many, many, many, many
...................places.  I have not downloaded or tried it but have
noticed the following (or words to the same effect) in several search
results:  "If a Bookmark has become unavailable you can verify it in the
internal preview and delete it from your Browser."

You have indicated  you would like to save some for further checking.  I
don't know what that internal preview shows; but if  there are only a few,
is it possible with that internal preview to copy and paste them somewhere
or to manually write them down for later checking before deleting the bulk
of dead ones?

I have spent a couple of (enjoyable) hours on this exercise, which is why I
became so aware of the repeated appearance of AM Deadlink.

Here are a couple of others I noted which may or may not be of assistance:

Linkman at http://www.outertech.com/index.php?_charisma_page=product&id=5.
(following quote from about halfway down the page)
"You can evaluate Linkman for 30 days.
In order to get a Linkman license you must register and obtain a serial
number (registration fee starts with $39/EUR30 for single workstation).
All Linkman 7.x updates will be free (at least 3 feature updates).
Alternatively you can sign-up with one of our affiliate partners and they
will pay the registration fee on your behalf. See the Trialpay page for
details."

Bookmark Master (free) at http://www.qksoft.com/.

Hi,

thanks for your tips, guys.

Link Sleuth - if I'm not mistaken - is for checking links on websites
somewhere on the internet, not for checking my local list of bookmarks. But
I'll have another look ....

The /Tilman/ part of that link is indeed coincidental - believe it or not
;-)

I've checked out AM DeadLink, and it's well done. Unfortunately, it doesn't
offer an option to save away a list of dead links for later checks. I can of
course always delete the bulk of them, but would like to check a few links
more thoroughly, since the once were/still are important sites.

Haven't found a way to do this from AM DeadLink.

The program I once had offered to simply move them ino a special folder
named 'BrokenLinks'. Something similar is what I would like to see ...

Thanks again
Tilman
