Originally created by @NightMean on GitHub (Dec 21, 2024).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1805

Describe the feature you'd like to request

Currently, Floccus only allows syncing to a Collection created in Linkwarden. This then shows as nested collections which are bit harder to navigate if you have multiple folders in browser.

Describe the solution you'd like

To make it easier, Instead of syncing to existing collection, Floccus could be setup to sync to the root of the collection as / which is the Unorganized collection.
This would make it so that the user does not have to create a collection where the sync would go through

The result would look like this:

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm aware that I can create 2 profiles for each folder/collection however with the option described above, you'd only need one profile to do all the synchronization

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 a few years ago, 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!
To continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way it is expected that you donate to the project when opening a ticket,
if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

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 Nextcloud 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 @NightMean
Indeed this would be nice. I do think though, that Linkwarden does not allow to create bookmarks in the root collection, which Floccus requires.

I thought that might be the case as well. I guess that should be another feature request towards Linkwarden itself :)
For now, I have just created 2 separate profiles which is not a big deal as it does the same.

I ran into the same problem, and would love to be able to use Linkwarden as my main Bookmark keeper, with all collections synced.
