Fixed bug when viewing your own bookmarks / links

When viewing your own bookmarks or other user bookmarks, the link was not showing if the bookmark did not had any tag. Now it shows also links with no tags.

Adding tags to imported bookmarks

2018-04-13

When adding tags from a file, importing a bookmarks file (from delicious.com or netscape) you can now add tags to all the imported bookmarks.

It is a smart idea to add atleast one tag, e.g. "imported" to imported bookmarks, so you can later on manipulate all added imported bookmarks
