Import of bookmarks

Hey,
I downloaded Opera Next and I can´t import my bookmarks! I tried everything, I even signed up in Opera Link and nothing changed. It´s driving me crazy, I don´t want to add all of them one by one just by typing them in the browser and adding them to the bookmarks.
Can you help me, anyone?

Thanks!

Hi Kristyna,

Agreed very annoying. If you have exported bookmarks from ie you can do what I did - which saves some typing at least. Open the file in Opera (it is HTML). The links for all your bookmarks are there in a list. Just highlight eachone and open in a new tab. Then go through each one in turn and add to your stash. Not a perfect solution but saves some time.

Cheers Maddox

Hey Maddox,

thank you, it isn´t a perfect solution but I´ll do it. What can we do, huh?

Thanks again for you time and answer!

Best regards

Yeah very very bad situation. I looked for it everywhere but then i trusted opera link and i always logged in to that. Then i formatted my computer thinking i can retrieve my bookmarks. But guess what? Only bookmarks i can access are the bookmarks from older opera versions. Thank you opera ruining my life just because i loved your browser and trusted. :(((

Please search before posting.

By a web search for "import bookmarks.adr" I quickly found that possible solutions:

• "You need to reinstall Opera 12.x, then copy your bookmarks.adr file back to the 12.x profile folder (usually found in 'AppData / opera / opera'), an existing bookmark.adr file should already exist there, if so, just overwrite it. Then either install Opera 2x (20, 21 etc) or run it if already installed and the 'Bookmarks importer' should now be selectable." (https://forums.opera.com/post/38785)

With a sophisticated browser it should not be necessary to search for any such instructions. When installing other browsers bookmark import is part of the installation process or else is a simple click on the file menu.

I had your >>Please search before posting.<< recently but somebody got in before you closed the thread and was helpful. Are you worried about bandwidth or something? Or do you just love wielding the power?

If you're importing them from Opera Stable, you should be able to copy the files from one to the other. With both versions closed, of course.
