netscape-to-universal

A simple conversion software to import your bookmarks from a Netscape HTML file. The target format is the one used by the universal bookmark manager.

Usage

  1. Use your browser to export the bookmarks as HTML.
  2. Make sure you have Rust installed and run cargo install netscape-to-universal.
  3. Run netscape-to-universal <input_file> >> <output_file>, where <input_file> is the path to the HTML file and <output_file> is the path to the bookmarks file (usually located at ~/.local/share/bookmarking/bookmarks).
  4. Review the bookmarks file and edit any tags that you find inappropriate.
  5. Optionally, remove the conversion software with cargo uninstall netscape-to-universal once you are done.

For a detailed description of the file formats, see the specification.
