ScrapBook data catalog

Description

ScrapDict is dedicated to add more structuring to ScrapBook (Firefox extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/uk/firefox/addon/scrapbook/ ). So instead of a list, it could be represented in a Freemind way ( http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page )

It relies on user tags, which should be added to the ScrapBook page comment section. Each tag should start from # sign, full line is treated as tag. Tag can contain spaces.

Usage

Find ScrapBook data directory (e.g. ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxx.default/ScrapBook/data/), then run

path/to/ScapDict/scripts/scrapdict -s /path/to/scrapbook/data_directory -d /path/to/freemind.mm

Versions

Should work for linux. If you would like to test/adapt it for e.g. Windows - be my guest.

I took versions I have locally, so this is mostly for myself, however if you will find it useful - nice :). Write me if you have some problems there. I do know about new Freemind v1.0.0, not tested it. So if you happen to try it out, tell me.
