Import bookmarks not working #1701

Closed Vistaus closed 2 years ago

Vistaus commented 2 years ago

Importing bookmarks seems to be broken. I tried to import the HTML bookmarks file created by Falkon, but after starting the import process, Otter says “Failed to export data”. Which is weird, since I'm trying to import, not export. But regardless, it doesn't import anything.

Using latest git master.

@Vistaus, are you using QtWebEngine backend? The message is wrong, but result was caused by lack of import capability in that backend. It will require cleaning up and merging of #1614.

Vistaus commented 2 years ago

Yes, QtWebEngine. Is there a workaround? 'Cause I need my bookmarks and I have too many to manually recreate them in Otter.

@Vistaus, the easiest way seems to be to use QtWebKit backend for import.

Yes, that worked! Thank you! 🙂

Btw, it shouldn't be hard to implement this on QtWebEngine builds. Falkon and Viper, both QtWebEngine web browsers, have implemented this.

@Vistaus, see that PR, it needs cleanup and then it can be merged, bringing that feature to QtWebEngine.
