Last but not least you can extract the bookmarks from the .json file. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If you wanna do that, I can provide a macro file for nedit, an old but |
| 32 |
great text editor. With this macro it will be easy to extract the URLs |
| 33 |
from the bookmarks file. Of course you have to insert every extracted |
| 34 |
URL into firefox and bookmark it. But I think this is better than to |
| 35 |
loose the bookmarks. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I'm sure that this also can be done by a shell script but my knowledge |
| 38 |
of bash programming isn't good enough to write such a script. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
If you wanna do this, install app-editors/nedit and give me a hint. Then |
| 41 |
I'll post the macro and give you instructions how to load and execute the |
| 42 |
macro with nedit. |
