Scrapyard Extension

Scrapyard is a bookmarking extension where you can store and organize bookmarks, page fragments, complete HTML pages and PDF documents, or take notes. It is intended as a modern alternative to the legacy ScrapBook add-on. All archived content is accessible on the Android platform if shared through a cloud service. Scrapyard also supports the import of RDF archives of the legacy ScrapBook. See the online help for a more detailed description of the add-on features: https://tinyurl.com/scrapyard-help .

The add-on has two storage modes:

- Filesystem - in this mode, all archived content is stored inside a user-specified directory in the filesystem. This mode requires the installation of the Scrapyard backend application.
- Browser internal storage - in this mode, all archived content is stored inside the browser profile. Although the installation of the backend application is not required, some advanced features, such as archive toolbar, RDF import, or uploading of local files, are not available without it due to restrictions imposed by the WebExtensions API.

Please see the extension help for more details.

Q&A

Q: If I choose the \"Browser internal storage\" mode, how can I physically access the archived content?
A: In this case, the archived content is stored in IndexedDB and is managed by the browser. It is not intended for access through the filesystem. Please use Scrapyard import/export facilities to migrate existing bookmarks. If you are into backup, please backup your entire Chrome profile. The path to the current Chrome profile could be found on the chrome://version/ page. Note that in this mode, all archived data is removed when the add-on is uninstalled.

Q: I've lost all my data. What can I do?
A: Generally, nothing could be done about this. There may be bugs in Scrapyard, cloud file version conflicts, OS crashes, hardware failures, your antivirus may mess with IndexedDB, a cat may eat it. Please back up your data regularly, possibly using third-party software for automation.

Q: Suddenly, a half of my data went missing. It seems, that items have disappeared randomly. Is there any hope?
A: These are signs that the index file of the filesystem storage was corrupted by a faulty disk operation. Although the probability of this is pretty low, there are no technical means to prevent this from happening. This may happen when the browser crashes or exits at an inappropriate moment. Luckily, the storage index could be completely restored with the \"Rebuild item index\" link at the \"Advanced\" settings tab.

Q: My browser says: \"The native application on port 20202 is not available\" what does this mean?
This means that the port used by the native application web server is taken by some other application or an already running instance of the native application from an another browser. This may happen if the browser has crashed. There are several possible solutions of this issue. At first, try to reboot the computer. If this does not help, it is possible to change the native application port in the Scrapyard settings.

Ibrahim Salim Omari (ID: 000000aedb21ed9d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/07/2023 I can't believe that after so many years of not having a scrapbook replacement, I run across this which I enjoy even more. I just installed it today and so far it's working beyond my expectations. Update to my review above. I have to remove 2 of the 5 stars from this. I love this extension but trying to get any help from the github site is useless. My extension has suddenly just stopped working. I can't capture and the pages already captured are no longer opening. Additionally if you're using a recent Linux, the backend install just doesn't work due to the fact that pip is no longer being used in favor of pipx. Since the installer.py script uses pip, the installation crashes. I had to manually convert the pip lines in the installer to pipx which seem to work but after the installation, the scrapyard settings page states that the backend is not installed. So now my scrapyard installation is a mess. But since I backup my system daily, I completely uninstalled scrapyard,installed it fresh and copied my good backup of the browser (Vivaldi) extension and the home config folder which should have put everything exactly the way it was yesterday. But no. I see my all of my captured pages in the scrapyard page but none are opening and I can't capture anything new even after a clean restore. So now I'm pissed that it seems that I lost all my captures even thought I religiously back them up. OK, I take it back. Today I tried again and everything is back to normal. i don't know why. The only thing I did differently was to refresh scrapyard. So it's back to 5 stars again. Still, I would love to know what went wrong.

Chuck Colsch (ID: 000000fd09899a28) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/08/2023 Most Likely, I will Also be Updating this Review Soon – Why? Let me Explain:: By a Wide Margin, “Brave” is my Favorite Browser! {How Marvelous it is to NEVER be Tracked Online!!} BUT! – Despite the Excellence of “Brave,” There was This Certain Firefox Extension That was Simply a BRILLIANT(!!) Bookmarking Tool—> “Scrapyard” {which Had Replaced “Scrapbook” during one of Firefox’s Upheavals}. Scrapyard is Not Merely “Brilliant”— It is an Absolutely _Necessary_ Extension:: Not Only does it provide Astounding Bookmark Organization, But Consider if you will:: What If the Owner of a Certain Website—Hugely Critical for your personal research Decides to just Disappear Next Week!? BOOM!!—A Website you Had Considered to be of Simply STELLAR Excellence . . . Simply EXITS your World!! –– Well, That is . . . . NOT True if you had merely “Archived” that Website in __THIS__ Extension. — An Extension SO Brilliant And So NEEDED That it Can Actually DEFINE a Browser — Precisely as it did for Firefox!!
