Personal Bookmarks Work Around

Been getting the "Could not open file ""." alert with the nifty OmniWeb  
0.9.1?  Here's the work-around.


The defaults database might show something like

	OmniWeb BookmarkPage file:~/Library/OmniWeb/Bookmarks.html

with the "dread -l" command.

If you do like our friends at Omni and abandon that "file:" anachronism,  
say with the command:

	dwrite OmniWeb BookmarkPage  
ftp:/Users/brie/Library/OmniWeb/Bookmarks.html

(substituting of course for the path to your own Bookmarks page, please)  
then your personal bookmarks page will be found.  By the way, setting the  
BookmarkPage to "ftp:~/Library/OmniWeb/Bookmarks.html" is a bad idea  
because it really does try to ftp it.

I think bugs are a very creative ploy to make sure that users explore all  
of the new parts of a program... not that OmniWeb needs bugs to assist its  
exploration!

P.S. If anyone wants m68k thinned versions of OmniWeb, go check out
