      I have been running New Opera since O25 and imported all my bookmarks perfectly and placed them on the Bookmarks Bar.

      Now I have another laptop also running O12.17, installed O30, and the bookmarks are not importing correctly. The issue is that I have 5 separate folders in the O12 BMs, and only one of the folders is importing, the others are disregarded and nowhere to be found.

      What is going on?

      My other laptop inported ALL BMs, which included MANY subfolders. Now )30 refused to do this.

      Any help appreciated.

        Do you see them in the Bookmarks Manager (Ctrl+Shift+B)?

            Okay, try this. Using Opera 12 export your bookmarks as an HTML file. Got into Opera 30 settings and use the importer to import from that HTML file. Did that work?

                Perhaps this extension will be helpful?
                It also manages folders.

                    Worked perfectly by using the HTML file, no need for an extension now, am ditching O12.17 (as I did with my other laptop) for O30

                    Thanks all.
