“I?d like to be able to see the chronological history of my web researches, to see the path I?ve followed. I?d like to have something more than a mere title of a webpage and link to be able to pick out a page from a group of bookmarks or saved pages - the whole page, or perhaps an thumbnail image.”

Have you looked at the iRider browser? It seems to handle tabs rather cleverly.

I have found traction Control (Firefox add-on) to be useful for looking back chronologically over a session’s surfing.

If you have Zoot running then its web database (web.zot) keeps a chronological tally of the sites you have visited.

This only covers a part of what you are looking for, of course.

myInfo doesn’t do exactly what Derek is seeking, but it does allow one to search for items/
web pages that were saved during a specific date/time period.

Thanks for the reassuring note, $Bill. SQLite also sits behind photo management software IDimager (thanks Jan for the tip) and music management software MediaMonkey. Both have been handling huge amounts of data for me without any problems. So, yeah, Firefox as a bookmarking system looks stable as well as being flexible and innovative. The workflow is perhaps even better than with PowerMarks. The way to go, I think.

Very stable.

From the SQLite documents: ?If you need to store and modify more than a few dozen GB of data, you should consider using a different database engine.?

This might comfort you…you can see other well known users of SQLite here. http://www.sqlite.org/famous.html

I just was looking back at info on some PIMS, and opened the Inquiry Pro web page
( http://www.metaproducts.com/mp/Inquiry_Professional_Edition.htm )

Seems like this may be what some of you are looking for. I’m still happy with MyBase+WebCollect.
