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 http://www.slashdot.org. 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...
