Limitations

While hlg was designed to deliver for its users, it may not be perfect. It still has some rough edges around.

Only your feedback and suggestions make it better.

Currently, these are some of the known limitations of hlg

  • hlg does not try to install missing programs referenced in the handler field;

  • hlg does not validate bookmark locations: if a location is malformed or nonexistent altogether, you will get the feedback from the provided handler or the system.

  • hlg does not currently exchange data with other bookmark managers:

    • This means you can neither import nor export your bookmarks to or from these programs;

    • However, this is work in progress.

  • hlg has a basic search engine. Other than tags, it still cannot search effectively in comments.

hlg is still maintained by one developer, so some of these limitations may be its feature in the long run if no sufficient interest is shown in the missing functionality.
