Bookmark Organizer 0.2 with SkyDrive Integration

I am pleased to announce the latest iteration of Bookmark Organizer. It now comes with the ability to synchronize your bookmarks with SkyDrive. Please read the original post for application pre-requisites and installation.

known Limitations

  • Synchronization is limited to the root folder of SkyDrive. I might include the ability to choose the location if there’s demand for it.
  • The app is limited to one way synching, its either Device to SkyDrive or vice versa. Source bookmarks are mirrored to the destination.
  • The available sync file extensions are restricted. This is a limitation imposed by SkyDrive. Please read more about it here.

disclaimer

The usual disclaimer applies; I am not responsible for anything you might break by using this application. Please use at your own risk.

download

Please feel free to suggest any improvements and I will try to accommodate you as best as I can.

xsd.exe and included schemas

Today I learned that the xsd.exe tool ignores all xsd:import statements. And the workaround is to explicitly provide all the schemas as command line arguments.

xsd.exe MainSchema.xsd  Reference1.xsd Reference2.xsd

According to the post here, the fact that the W3C Schema spec describes the schemaLocation attribute as a hint, not a true location might be a plausible reason to this behavior.
