KBOOKMARKMERGER/(1)	  kbookmarkmerger User's Manual      KBOOKMARKMERGER/(1)

NAME
     kbookmarkmerger  -  A program for merging a given set of bookmarks into the
     user's list of bookmarks.

SYNOPSIS
     kbookmarkmerger {directory}

DESCRIPTION
     kbookmarkmerger is a program for merging a given set of bookmarks into  the
     user's  set  of  bookmarks;  if the user doesn't have any bookmarks created
     yet, a new bookmark list is created and the given	bookmarks  are	inserted
     into  it. While doing this, kbookmarkmerger keeps track of which files were
     merged in a previous run already, so no bookmark will get installed to  the
     user's bookmarks more than once.

     The  traditionally  used approach to achieve something like this was to use
     carefully crafted skeleton home directories when creating a  new  user  ac-
     count,  to  provide  the user with a standard set of bookmarks. The problem
     with this approach is that after the user account has been created, no  new
     bookmarks can be propagated.

     This  mechanism is useful for system administrators who want to propagate a
     bookmark pointing to a certain  document  (for  instance,	important  notes
     about  the system) to all users. Distributors might find it useful as well,
     for instance by augmenting the software packages they supply with	bookmark
     files  which  kbookmarkmerger merges into the user's bookmark list when the
     package is installed. That way, documentation shipped with a software pack-
     age is easily and visibly accessible right after the package has  been  in-
     stalled.

     The  only	parameter required by kbookmarkmerger is the name of a directory
     which shall be scanned for bookmark files. All files in the given directory
     will be considered for being merged into the user's setup. The files in the
     given directory should be valid XBEL files.

EXAMPLES
	 joe@hal9000:~> kbookmarkmerger /usr/local/extra-bookmarks

     Merges all bookmark files stored in /usr/local/extra-bookmarks  into  joe's
     list of bookmarks.

STANDARDS
	 XBEL specification[2]

RESTRICTIONS
     When  determining	whether  a  given bookmark file has been merged into the
     user's bookmarks already or not, kbookmarkmerger merely looks at the  file-
     name of the bookmark file - the contents are not checked at all. This means
     that  changing a bookmark file which was already merged into a user's book-
     marks will not trigger merging it once again.

     Also note that in case a user modifies a bookmark which was merged into his
     setup, the original bookmark file will be left unmodified.
