by Larry, 6 years agoSpent days highlighting my notes for the upcoming finals only to find out it didn't save ANY of the highlights. There is no save button so one would assume it got saved automatically, apparently it doesn't.
EDIT: After enabling an option to save automatically it worked.

posted 6 years agoHi Larry,
I recommend to test after your first highlights if they got saved.
Saving highlights works for thousands of users. Why it doesn't work for you can have tons of reasons (i.e. wrong OS, wrong usage or simply that you did highlights on a page that constantly changes its content). Therefore I also recommend to read the instructions first and in case of problems ask the developer for help (per email or by opening an issue on GitHub).
EDIT :-) Also keep in mind that Textmarker might not be able to restore your highlights in case the corresponsing page's content changes before your next visit. Address for issues/bugs/feature requests: https://github.com/ufb/Textmarker/issues

- Rated 5 out of 5by Seän "frostbyte" Shepherd, a year agoThank you SO much for continuing development! I *just* found this outstanding extension after searching for the *perfect* Webpage annotation add-on, so I really appreciate it! I'd *easily* give it 11 out of 10 stars if there WERE 10 (or 11) stars available! <3

- Rated 1 out of 5by nug700, a year agoDO NOT USE. It will NOT save your hightlights in academic database sites like ProQuest. It might save your highlight for a day or so, but will randomly fail to load them DO NOT RELY ON THIS.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Cyberknight, 2 years agoGood interface, allowing changing the colours. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on some Pages, in some sites. Other similar tools does work on those same Pages, so it's a limitation of the extension (I didn't even wanted to save the highlights, all I really needed was marking for studying...)

- Rated 4 out of 5by micman, 2 years agoGood! Like other users, it is for me the best addon of his kind that I have found. A technical note: I use firefox and/or floorp. If I set "Preferences/Design/Manage Colors/Override the colors specified by the page with your selection above/Always", Textmaker doesn't work. It took me longtime to figure it out.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Joao, 2 years agoNot reliable. My highlights and notes disappeared after refreshing the page. I think the issue was related with multiple pages having the same title, although different file names. I'm working with local HTML files.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13881833, 2 years agoAlthough Text Marker functions well, it has a conflict with Google Docs and Google Sheets that causes computer memory to saturate, leading to either the computer locking up (usually) or FireFox crashing.
Text Marker as the cause was hard to track down (trial and error with the extensions I use).
SYMPTOMS: My computer has 16 gb of RAM, and typically is running with 8 or 9 gb free memory. As soon as I load one of the Google workspaces I start getting pops saying (initially) trying to connect, and then repeatedly "reconnecting". The "memory commit" (observed with ProcessExplorer) quickly runs up from a few gigbytes up over 30 GB, and I've seen as much as 36 GB at the crash point. Meanwhile, the free memory runs down to a few thousand MB (MB!) and eventually to only 92 MB.
I have isolated this problem to Text Marker as the cause. I get a similar problem when doing lots of scolling through statutes, for example here: https://www.akleg.gov/basis/statutes.asp#43.55.020 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14049127, 2 years agoreally good, I wonder why I didn't find it before

💙 - Rated 1 out of 5by Checklist, 2 years agoTerrible experience. Everything just disappears after all my effort of highlighting.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jean, 2 years agoEverything is fine with the extension but there is a problem where the color of the letters is not visible when adding a note on pages with a dark theme.
