Proof-of-concept: custom Bukuserver window title

[LeXofLeviafan]

Usecase

Suppose you're juggling multiple Bukuserver tabs and want to have a way to tell the difference easily. Or maybe you just want to check your search params without switching back to look at them.

It would be useful to have that information in the tab title…

Setup

Here's the gist containing a (proof-of-concept) implementation of a markdown description renderer.

In order to have it running, you'll need to install a userscript manager in your browser (preferably Tampermonkey); then add the script from the gist as a userscript. (This will likely involve opening the dashboard in your userscript manager, clicking the "New Userscript" button, and replacing the default template with the contents of the file from the gist… and then saving it, of course. Alternatively, just click the "Raw" button on the gist file: it appears to trigger Tampermonkey script installation for .user.js files.)

note that if you're using Chrome (which probably includes any Chrome-based browser), you might have to deal with extra complications not encountered in Firefox when using a userscript manager (e.g. it having entirely separate storage in incognito mode… or even it not working at all unless you tweak your Chrome settings to enable it)

Screenshots

The parameters are shown in the order they're found in the URL, at the beginning of the tab title (you can tell the site by the favicon anyway). Only the Bookmarks list is affected.

(not showing the 1st tab since it's just the 1st page of the list with no filters)



(note that if the full title is too long, you can still see it in window header and/or tab tooltip)

This is a rather minor feature, and probably not that useful for most users, so I'm providing it as an external script for the time being. (It might probably be converted into a plugin once those are supported.)
