Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/83

Software versions

Browser: Chrome 65
Nextcloud: 12.0.5
Nextcloud Bookmarks app: 0.11.0
Floccus: 2.0.6

Steps to reproduce

Donate, whether it works entirely or not yet - this is damned fine software (in theory) and needs supporting.
On my home PC I copied all my bookmarks (about 2500 of them) into the bookmark folder that floccus uses for syncronisation.
Went onto my work PC (with a new install/profile of Chrome) and tried to sync them down.

Expected outcome

It to sync up properly and down properly?

Actual outcome

Empty bookmark folders must not be syncing up, as when you try to sync them down - they don't appear. I'm guessing this is because the folders are preserved through the use of tags in the database, and the code won't make a tag to then not use it against any actual bookmark entries (also since I'm here, I've noticed the database makes the same tag many times per folder - isn't this just duplication?). Whilst this might make sense from a code point of view... I like to make the occasional empty bookmark folder to help me lay out areas in the bookmark bar for future projects that I need to popular bookmarks for. Essentially it's an organisational thing.

This is a known issue, as nextcloud bookmarks doesn't have the concept of folders. I realize the need to sync empty folders. It's currently not possible, though, I'm afraid.

Have taken this up on the Bookmarks App github issues (one was already open), perhaps this could be left open until this is taken care of on that end?

This will not be fixed in the bookmarks app, and can only be worked around in floccus, by not using the bookmarks app. Floccus v3 provides a WebDAV adapter as an alternative. Feel free to help testing #27
