- Unfortunately after categorising 107 Notebooks, which was nice, a couple of days later I came back and all the categorisations were gone. This extension, of course, is meant to save time, not waste it. Bugfix? - Correction - I am using an iMac and a MacBook - and this extension does not synchronize across different devices. Don't assume just because other extensions sync across devices, and it would be very good for this extension to sync across devices, that it will in fact sync across devices. ;-) Maybe I should read the handbook?

- The folder categorization design concept is good, but there are three issues that need improvement: 1. When there are too many or too long folder entries at the top, it's difficult to drag uncategorized items to their designated folders. Adding an option to directly categorize items into a specific folder next to them would solve the problem of the drag-and-drop slider being difficult to move. 2. Dragging items easily triggers the "create split screen" function, automatically creating a new screen and causing drag failures. It also adds a new browsing page (the content screen of that item). Overall, it's still a dragging issue; adding a folder categorization option next to the items would solve both problems simultaneously. 3. When directly selecting the categorization option for a specific notebook, other folders created by the user are not visible; only the three system-preset options are available. Adding an option for user-created folders would be helpful.

- There's a limitation of the extension that needs to be explained, otherwise users might spend a long time searching for it... It can only be used in icon view, not list view.
- Olivier Mourgeon
- Very useful when you want to manage numerous Notebooks. Thank you for this extension. It would be nice to have a sync because if you log on another hardware you have to redo all the work.
