Duplicate Bookmarks

Post by Mari0n »

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a way to find duplicate bookmarks as I have a parent and child projects and want to make sure of consistency across all of them.
The Flare Project Analyzer "Used Bookmarks" does not help as it lists wherever bookmarks are used (x-refs, area) but not so much the bookmarks themselves, which should have an "a" link tag.

My way around all of this:
  • Use Project / Reports to generate a Used Bookmarks report
    View it in the browser
    Copy all of its contents
    Drop this into Excel
    Move the heading information like name and date etc. of report out of the way
    Sort the column alphabetically which should put all "bookmark" entries at the top (or at least together) so the rest can be deleted or ignored
    Use Conditional formatting for Duplicate entries, so they show up in red or whatever you stipulate
I hope this is helpful, and if anyone has a better, easier solution, I'd love to hear it!
