- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14749460, 6 years agoInitially it did not work as expected. Turned out I did not understand settings.
I opened an issue and the author answered to make this clear.
"text" is the name of the collection which will appear in the drop down box (which is empty otherwise) and path is the full name of a rdf file, existent or not, empty or not.
So giving the rdf of an old scrapbook (usually something like C:\Users\BUDDY\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\lrwtavtr.default\ScrapBook\scrapbook.rdf) plus a name will give you all old data back.
Absolutely great! - Rated 5 out of 5by leproxy, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11818924, 6 years agov1.5.1 cannot capture. After reinstall the older version, everything works fine again, thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14727057, 6 years agoAs of now scrapbee does everything scrapbook did, you can save bookmarks or save entire pages with the ability to edit the saved pages just like in the past.
No complaints, we finally have a substitute on the new firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14669903, 6 years agoGreat! Great, great, great! ScrapBook is back!
One thing I figured out by reading the reviews: you need to add the staement
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\scrapbee_backend" /d %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\scrapbee\scrapbee_backend.json /f
in addition to the
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\scrapbee_backend" /d %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\scrapbee\scrapbee_backend.json /f
After adding this to the install.bat, everything works fine!
Thanks so much!! I now can switch all my computers to FireFox Quantum.
Cheers, Lutz
Add-1: I like to give some contribution, but I don't like to create a paypal account. Any suggestions?Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi, thanks so much for 5 starts, glad to know you like ScrapBee. And thanks for your suggestion, I'll fix that in next version.
I also do not like paypal... but I have not found a better choice for now :( - Rated 5 out of 5by jack_chen, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14571805, 6 years agoThanks so much for this extension. It works great. Finally I can open my Scrabbook(X) pages in the latest FF version.
Could I ask you to consider below features if possible?
* Open captured pages in current tab by default. To open a page in a new tab, use ctrl + click instead.
* Toolbar button to show/hide ScrapBee in sidebar
* Ability to open Scrapbook(X) notes and note pages
Thanks
Edit: Thanks for implementing 1 and 2 so quickly. And opening notes does already work. Editing does not but that's fine.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi, thanks for 5 stars, and for your question, I can not tell too much for now: 1 possible, 2 maybe, 3 maybe not.
UPD: You are right : ) 1 and 2 implemented. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14566895, 6 years agoBrilliant! Been without a Scrapbook for over a year since the original died. Could never get ScrapbookQ to work. You've made my day Victor.

- Rated 5 out of 5by stinger, 6 years agoYou are a genius!!! Thank you very much! I'm staying with Firefox 52 ESR because my Scrapbook didn't work with Quantum.
I installed ScrapBee on Windows7. I had Scrapbook Plus.
Some things to fix:
1) I had a little problem with the installation:
First, you have to launch the install.bat in a prompt administrator, otherwise you got "Access denied" error when it tries to wirte in the registry;
2) Then, in the batch file I changed the two lines as:
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\scrapbee_backend" /d %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\scrapbee\scrapbee_backend.json /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\scrapbee_backend" /d %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\scrapbee\scrapbee_backend.json /f
I changed the command %cd%\
with
%USERPROFILE%\Downloads
because %cd% pointed to my System32 folder, instead of Downloads folder (because I run the batch file with System32's cmd.exe).
3) All my old elements in the original rdf file with a type as "NS18:type="combine" (more pages in one), or
"NS18:type="site"
don't work, but if I empty the tag with a empty string
for ex.: "combine" --> "" in the scrapbook.rdf file, I can load the pages.
That's all for the moment. If I'll find others glitches, I write them to you.
Thanks again. I can install the new Firefox version, now! :-)Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi Stinger, thank you so mush for your feedback, these seems very helpful information, I am going to research on and try to fix later.
UPD: Fixed - Rated 5 out of 5by pop, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by trap000d, 6 years agoAwesome!!! Looks like a good old Scrapbook. And it works. I'm looking forward for pulling my 50 Gb scrapbook from backup and testing it.
1. Have you any plans for adding search feature?
2. Would you be so kind as to give me a link of backend source code?
UPD: Found backend source inside extension package. I assume you've left third party site links in refer and host request headers just due to negligence :)Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi there, thanks for give ScrapBee a try, I think searching is a good feature maybe added in the future, I just can not promise for now. I also plan to host ScrapBee in github later.
Update: A simple searching is added in new version of 1.1.0, enjoy :) - Rated 5 out of 5by 风中小筑, 6 years ago
