Bookmarks Paste Greyed Out

Post by trangen »

:shock:

Bookmark help please!

I can't seem to cut/copy my bookmarks and PASTE them to another new page.

The PASTE is greyed out.

Is it because I have a freeware/shareware version? and not the full license?

Thanks in Advance

Edit Bookmark first

I think I did, now I can't remember, I'll try it tomorrow at work,
I do remember, right clicking on the bookmark and seeing the paste, was greyed out.

I'll give it a shot tomorrow and get back,

Thanks in Advance

Paste Greyed out under Edit/copy other

Post by trangen »

:(

Bob, I tried what u said and it is greyed out there also.

Originally, I tried to right click on the bookmark itself.

Funny thing was it was NOT greyed out Before I did the copy other/bookmarks.

After I did the copy, it got greyed out. Go figure.
I can't paste anywhere, not even on the same page.

I wanted to copy and paste onto another page the things I filtered using find/bookmark.

Thanks

Can someone confirm please (paste buffer size limitation?0

:(

I think I might know the cause. This is a VERY LARGE syslog file, I'm disseminating.
850MB. and the Bookmarked files are probably 30-405 of that. So that would be in the ball
park of 300-400MB worth of bookmarks.

So, is that my problem? it is TOO LARGE a size for the paste buffer?

Thanks in Advance

Problem Solved -

:D

Problem solved. My hunch was correct, it was a bookmark to Paste buffer size problem.

See my Syslog file is 850+MB for a 24 hour period. So the things I bookmarked are 30-40% of that, making it 350-400MB worth of bookmarks. So it exceeded the buffer for the EDIT/copy or cut/paste. Once I broke it down to more manageable sizes, like 10 minute segments, I could do it.
