issue with import and export

Open Zaxx69 opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

i am unable to import a json file which contains several links i also exported my current list but instead of json file it got saved as a .txt file

if possible can you add " import from html file" as it is already support in all browsers

Import/export is pretty dumb right now; I will fix it as soon as I fix the others.

Yeah, sure. I'll see what I can do. If I'm not mistaken, you are referring to the browser bookmark exports/imports. This will also be added as soon as I release 0.8.x. Thanks for mentioning this.

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your application. I just discovered it.

I find it unfortunate that an HTML file containing internet links or bookmarks cannot be used for importing or exporting bookmarks.

The JSON format is problematic. Indeed, most web browsers on computers or some web browsers on Android offer the option to export favorites or bookmarks to an HTML file (containing our internet addresses).

It would be really great if you could implement this feature.

The thing is, I built this project only for myself, so I was fine with it 😅😅; but now, as HTML seems the best option for export/import, I'll remove the current mechanism and will release the HTML-based export/import soon.

I would like to congratulate you on your application.

Thank you very much, that's great news. On Crowdin, I started the French translation.

@Zaxx69 auto-update? I'm not sure what you mean by that 🤔
