      I have a text file with http-links, e.g.

      http://www.abc1.com/link1
      http://www.abc2.com/link2
      http://www.abc3.com/link3
      http://www.abc4.com/link4

      and I can not simply import the file or select all/copy to clipboard and paste from there into Opera bookmarks?

      Opera only creates on long link/bookmark "http://www.abc1.com/link1http://www.abc2.com/link2http://www.abc3.com/link3http://www.abc4.com/link4"

      is it true that simple things don't work?

      Using Opera since version 6.

        bookmarks.html:

        <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html>
            <head>
                <meta charset="utf-8">
                <title>Bookmarks</title>
            </head>
            <body>
                <h1>Bookmarks</h1>
                <dl>
                    <dt><a href="https://www.google.com/">Google</a></dt>
                    <dt><a href="https://www.arstechnica.com">Ars Technica</a></dt>
                </dl>
            </body>
        </html>
        

        Do it like that and you can import them. In your case of course, there won't be any text content between the opening and closing A tags.

        You can do a find and replace in your text file (or a copy of it) to add <dt><a href=" before each link and another one to add "></a></dt> to the end of each link. Then, you can add the rest of the markup by hand.

          Thanks for the info - I know I can do all the extra work.

          I wrote about a "simple" copy & paste. Wondering that this isn't possible

          Using Opera since version 6.

            Opera itself doesn't support importing a text file of links or pasting clipboard content consisting of multiple links (separated by newlines for example). There might be an extension that does it though.

            I think pasting a line-separated or tab-separated list of links that's in the clipboard would be nice though. So, would being able to import a text file.
