Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/209

Software versions

  • Browser: Firefox 63
  • Nextcloud: 14.0.4
  • Nextcloud Bookmarks app: 0.14.3
  • Floccus: 3.1.15
  • Floccus sync method: nextcloud-folders/WebDav

Steps to reproduce

I love this addon and had a NextCloud instance so I thought I'd give it a spin, works great except for the one thing that I use my bookmarks in Firefox based on icons, meaning I save bookmarks without a name so the favicon is used to save horizontal space and allow me faster easier access to larger amounts of bookmarks instantly.

Expected outcome

Uploaded my bookmarks via both WebDav and the proper Bookmarks app sync, when syncing out from source both re-fill the name of bookmarks from the source and doesn't respect my choice of having removed them

Actual outcome

All my bookmarks now have their names back, contrary to my wishes, thank god for diligent backups :)

both re-fill the name of bookmarks from the source

Are you sure that this happens with the webdav method as well? It shouldn't change the title at all. I can confirm that the bookmarks app automatically sets a title if there is none, so I'll have to figure something out.

The next version of the bookmarks app will not have this issue :)
