Over the years my bookmarks have grown topsy turvy. I currently have
over 400 folders nested at least 3 deep (no idea how many bookmarks).
I find the "Manage Bookmarks" option too cumbersome.
I experimented with an "export as HTML, edit HTML, import HTML"
sequence. It is doable but sub-par.
Is there a newbie friendly tool to do a "backup as JSON, edit the
JSON, restore from edited JSON file" sequence.
I've not done any significant coding since using dBaseII and 8080
assembler in the 70's.
TIA
As a power user of bookmarks since the old Netscape days, I was
intrigued to see a posting about them as we don't seem to see much
discussion about bookmarks.
However, from what you say, it's not entirely clear what the problem is.
For instance, you say you find "Manage Bookmarks" too cumbersome, but
what other way could there possibly be to organize your bookmarks? I
probably have more bookmarks and folders than you, and every so often I
open Manage Bookmarks and set about filing new bookmarks withing my
system of folders, creating new folders as necessary, deleting bookmarks
that I decide I no longer need, and so on. True, you can export the
bookmark file as HTML, but trying to edit that would be vastly more
difficult than the previous alternative, and trying to edit the JSON
file would, I think, be impossible.
Perhaps you could post more details of what exactly your problem is in
organizing your bookmarks.
