in thread Personal Nodelet Maintenance
In my opinion Scratchpad has some limitations:
- space is limited and nothing will warn you when you reach the limit of 64Kb;
- nodes are added using href links, wasting even more space but probably saving some load to the server;
- it isn't devoted only to bookmarks;
- it doesn't detect duplicates (Personal Nodelet has the same problem of course);
- it cannot be accessed by programs if it is marked as 'not public', even if you provide your login and want to access your scratchpad.
So, I think coreolyn has some reason on his side, but I would ask for something different: a third link to something external and user defined that would receive the id of the node currently showed. This solution would provide a hook to implement your really personal way to set bookmarks.
Ciao, Valerio
In the meanwhile, larsen informed me that there is a patch from belg4mit that would solve the href problem. update3: clarification for tye: the canonical solution is to use displaytype=xml on a user node. In normal conditions, with scratchpad public, I see the content in the data section; otherwise it is not shown. Using displaytype=raw with node 108949 is not a good solution, because the page would be rendered, altering the original content.
