+Explorerphenom Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 In GSAK I did a search for anything with 'park' in the name. Then I filtered that sub list with only the caches I wanted. My question is how do I transfer my filter to my bookmark list. I already have the macro 'bookmarkfilter' but it sends the whole search list to my bookmark list instead of only the filters I requested. Quote Link to comment

Menu item geocaching.com >> Add to bookmark list >> choose the list >> OK ... Done You will have to create the list on the website first as this can not be done from within GSAK.

+jellis Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Curious on why you want them in a bookmark list. If it is for qualifying for a Challenge I usually just make a snippet (screen grab) of the GSAK file and post the image in the log. What I do is create a separate database I call qualifiers. I then make a pq of the caches called "parks" and dump them in the new database. Then I delete the ones that don't qualify. Then you are left with what you need. That way when you do the snippet it will show the GC code, type of cache, Name of cache and the date found by you and anything else you may need to show.

Which would only update the caches on the bookmark list. The same thing can be done in GSAK directly using the "Refresh cache data..." command. Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Which would only update the caches on the bookmark list. The same thing can be done in GSAK directly using the "Refresh cache data..." command. Of course. But the TS doesn't have to justify why he wants to do it, he's just asking how to do it. I have a few bookmarklists and made them into PQ's. Not to run them but for a quick glance on the map when choosing PQs instead of running a filter and using the split screen map in GSAK. Quote Link to comment
+Explorerphenom Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Thanks for your answers. I transfer it to a bookmark list so I can make a PQ which I d/l to my GPS. I still don't know if the macro can do a filter but I will do it the way On4bam does it. Quote Link to comment

That way you can filter bij just using the dropdown and selecting the filter you want. Quote Link to comment

Cause what he posted sounds like they are listing qualifiers for a challenge. Some Challenges were written up a long time ago asking for bookmark lists to show proof and may not realize there is an easier way to show qualifiers without having to list a bookmark list.

+Biertjuh Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Does anyone knows if it is possible to transfer caches from a public bookmark list of another cacher into you own bookmark list. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Not directly but you can make any bookmark list a pq and download it to gsak then use the API to add it to your list. Quote Link to comment
