Importing bookmarks from Camino
Have people been able to import bookmarks from other (Mozilla-derivative) browsers successfully? Last night, I tried to import my Camino 1.0 bookmarks.plist file into sp6 with weird results: I got a correctly-nested and -named set of "bookmarks", but each one was an empty folder, not an actual bookmark.
For example, one of my old bookmarks was named "Slashdot" and linked to [url]http://www.slashdot.org[/url]. After import, OW had an empty *folder* in my Bookmarks menu named "Slashdot", rather than a real clickable bookmark. Fortunately, I only had a few bookmarks saved in Camino, so it will be mostly trivial to fix (especially with drag-and-drop goodness!). :) My money is on one of the following causes: 1. Camino uses funky/badly-formed markup in its plist file 2. OW is very picky about standards-compliance in plist files when importing 3. Both (1) and (2) Am I the only one experiencing this? I didn't see this listed in a (very) quick perusal of the known issues... |
This is actually an older issue (also present in OmniWeb 5.1.3). We have an open bug on the problem and will try to investigate for a future release. You may consider looking into a third party app for synchronizing bookmarks among multiple browsers, Bookit is one example:
