Website Link Shows Up as White Cards in BumpTop

[SketalDaz]

Hi. The only issue I came across was the "website cards". I use Firefox as my browser and the websites I saved on my desktop appear as blank white cards in BumpTop. I'm assuming the software is trying to preview the saved websites but because they came from Firefox, it doesn't know how to process the file. The cards don't even work as icons, so I can't double click them to open the site in Firfox. Unfortunately, when BumpTop was registering my desktop, it got rid of the original icons that represented the saved websites on my original desktop, and I can't use an option in BumpTop to retrieve the web address; there is no way of recovering those sites.

My current work around:
Put the websites in a desktop folder.

I'm not 100% sure why this works, but what I did is:

Create a web link in a folder, and add an extra "L" on the end.

Dragged that to desktop, and it didn't turn into a white square.

Open the bookmark in a text editor and change the URL to whatever wanted.

So I just copy that weblink.urll "template", update the link inside with text editor, save and remove the extra "L".

Doesn't fix the previews, but it is nice to be able to move a few bookmarks around on the desktop the Bumptop way.

Also, like this you can drag them to piles and folders.

Wish I knew more other than web dev, so I could help keep Bumptop working...
