I have been searching for a program / Plug-in / Script / web service which can be used to catalog / bookmark media web links. Let me explain what I mean. I download lots of stuff (audio / video / photos) from the web and have it properly organized on my PC in their appropriate folders ( I am sure most of us do this ). You would agree that in no time, your hard disk would be occupied with all the stuff. Now, think about this. How about a program in which you initially create folders (like Music, Photos, Videos, etc) and then in a particular folder (say photos), you only provide the weblink to the image (For example: w w w . example . com/image01.jpg) and then the program automatically shows the thumbnail of that photo (Just like Facebook shows the thumbnail of the photo after you paste the weblink on the wall)? Similarly, in our "would be" program's video folder, the user would just provide the weblink to the video (For example: w w w . youtube . com/watch?v=9v7z-sdFVqU) and the program would show the thumbnail of the video (again just like in Facebook). On pages with multiple media content (Example, a page with a youtube video, couple of images and audio player) the program should "step through" each and every media content and allow the user to select the appropriate one (Yet again, just like in Facebook). Note that the program should not actually download any photos, videos or audio but should only catalog / bookmark the respective links in the appropriate folder with their thumbnails. Thumbnails here are a must for the user to identify which media file to open in the future. Moreover, unlike other "Favorite Managers" which take a snapshot of the whole webpage, our program would "grab" only the thumbnail of the file. In this way, all the content is on the web but we still have the links to them properly categorized with their thumbnails with us on our PC. Is anyone willing to code this program? Please revert for any clarifications. Nzyme
What if, let's say Youtube deletes one or more of these videos? Or even other sites that are hosting your images? Better buy yourself a huge external HDD and use free software as Locate32 http://www.locate32.net/ to index and find files superfast.
If the content is unavailable, then when the user tries to open it, it can prompt a message that it is unavailable and provide an option to delete it...
