Importing web favorites?

Is it me, or is there no import/synchronizer for importing web links? Favorites, bookmarks etc?

Hi,
The only import we have if for the saved password and url in Chrome and Firefox. What format of bookmark favorite would you like to import?

In this case I want to import ~100 bookmarks in a folder (Windows / IE style internet shortcuts).

Thank you. I will check how easy it is to create an import tool in RDM.

I tinkered around with Powershell to import favorites. .url files are just ini files so with a bit of googling a script is easily built.
However importing a referenced favicon is not working as I would like to unfortunately.

So an import function is still welcome. Support for drag & drop too :)

That's a good workaround indeed. We will keep the feature request opened don't worry.

Mr Vissers,

Starting from the next minor release of RDM, it'll be possible to import your favorites by exporting them to a .html file.

In RDM, go in File -> Import -> Web Bookmarks and give it the exported file.

Sadly for the moment the imported links are not inside their respective folders. Consequently, you'll have to select which ones you want and then put them in a group entry by hand afterwards.

If any problems arise please let me know on this thread
