J Cox Link Checker

Link Checker will scan your browser's bookmarks and then check each individual one to see if it is still valid Link Checker will scan your browser's bookmarks and then check each individual one to see if it is still valid (doesn't return a 404 Not Found or other errors).

If an invalid bookmark is found, it is added to a results list. Link Checker supports multi-threading so you can have up to forty bookmarks checked at any one time.

Please note that this is a very rough Alpha version of the software and that it only currently supports Internet Explorer.

Usage

Run the application and then click on the Scan button. This will cause Link Checker to scan your favourites and add them to a temporary in-memory database (this is purged when LC is exited).

Click on the Check button to start the checking process; this involves LC going through each bookmark and trying to connect to the site that the bookmark points to. If any error is encountered during the connection attempt, it is added to the main list in the LC window.

You can inspect any problematic sites by either using the context menu or by double-clicking a site to launch it in your default browser.

The context menu also allows you to delete selected sites; use Ctrl/Shift to multi-select sites.
