Astalavista Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 does anyone know how i can transfer or copy the bookmarks from Opera to IE?they are not using the same format. I have tried different methods to no availhelp.
Nologic Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Well I don't have any experince with Opera...but generally you can export your bookmarks to a html file which you can then use to import it into any other browser that I'm aware of.This is how I've moved them in the past between firefox and IE....tho my collection has grown to the point that it drags IE into the ground if I have all of them ported over.Any ways hunt for that option and with any luck you'll find just such an option.
MHz Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Opera bookmarks are not compatible with I.E. Why I do not use Opera.Saw a mention at their forum on this. A reply was why should Opera fix it, I.E. should change to import Opera bookmarks? I think it is a feature packed browser, but I will not use it if it will not blend with it's environment.You may need to manually copy each favorite site over.Maxthon is a better browser!
Nologic Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Okay this is what I've found thus far looking into it.1. Opera's export to html is worthless....doesn't import into IE or Firefox.Any ways Firefox will import Opera's bookmarks directly from the browser...then you can export the bookmarks to a html file that CAN be used by IE or any thing else.There is probably a utility out there some where that does this for you...just don't know of one right off hand...but really Opera is shooting its self in the foot with this type of crap.Any ways good luck
Astalavista Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 i tried the manual method... i gave up at 30 bookmarksi want all 100 bookmarks. the bookmarks that comes with opera arereally cool.
Nologic Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Well like I said install firefox....from with in firefox import the bookmarks from opera directly.....then from firefox export those bookmarks as a html file that can be imported by IE....then you have to decide to import them into IE then grab the links it creats or just leave it as a HTML file and import it when ever, where ever...ahh hell PM me your email addy and I'll do up the html for you. blah scratch that....file is attached. Heh now if you want some bookmarks from hell...PM me.
Nologic Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Actually I'll just spam them....multi-archive rar, total of 3 files.*update* I highly suggest not importing these into IE....its about 30,000 bookmarks and is likely to make IE very unhappy...tho they do work just fine in any browser with more advanced bookmarking sub-systems, Netscape, FireFox, Opera...File #1
Nologic Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 File #3Complete set.If any one else has some good clean book marks please share.
