Does the Sync process include all of the property fields connected to the bookmark? I sometimes use the long description field to store key information relted to a specific website that I have bookmarked, does sync pick up these fields too?

If you right click on any bookmark and choose properties there is a field called "description". This seems to be an open text field where a user can enter a short description. I use this sometimes to store a small amount of information related to the website - a userid, or a short description of what the website was good for. Is this field included in the sync process? I am not sure that it is because I seem to be missing some of the data but I wanted to check with you for a more definitive yes or no answer.

Hi dkraus!

Short answer is no. Not all the metadata of the bookmarks is synced. In any case, developers are working on adding more and more information to the "pack" that gets synced and this is something that has been asked before.
