have a way to ALWAYS default to PRIVATE
I need to have a way to ensure that things are private unless I share them explicitly. It's 2010 and poor privacy is a deal breaker.

For chrome extension,you can right click on the diigo icon and go to the seeting page to select "private as default while bookmarking’.
It is the same with firefox.
Diigolet doesn’t offer this kind of feature,since it is a simplified version.
As for bulk converting bookmarks to private,
you can choose to view all items in advanced view mode.

Sandy: It seems not to work that way on pictures and captures.

I have just discovered Diigo.. I can't believe that Private can't be set on by default! that's a deal breaker for me!!

Hi Sandy,
I did that and it was still not marking them private. Today it seems to be working so perhaps it needs a restart of Firefox. Or it could have to do with me working in multiple windows, I've noticed Diigo doesn't seem to really keep cross-window state (e.g. if I log into one Firefox window I still have to log into another window also). -

Even with "private with bookmarking" turned on, when highlighting it adds them to my library without making them private. The fact that just highlighting something causes it to be shared is pretty scary.

This feature really is a necessity. It needs to be added immediately.

I agree. I have requested this a number of times from Diigo and have not even received a response. Also, it would be helpful to help many users correct this issue to add a function to change the status of bookmarks from public to private in bulk. I do not believe Diigo understands the importance of privacy.

Ref. my comment in that other thread:
"Great that this got fixed, but there is one flaw left: Even if it remembers my desired default, then every time I have made an exeption and removed he private checkmark when bookmarking something, then the next time I bookmark something, the default has changed to public, so every time I want to make something public, I must remember to set the default back to private..."

This does not work well in the current Chrome and Opera diigolet scripts, but it is working in the Firefox Diigo extension (it remembers the default privacy setting that you can set in the toolbar options.). I agree it is important to fix this.
