I don't have the hot pink but folders in my bookmark toolbar are always light blue since the upgarde to vers 45. The only way for me to comfortably see them is to use the dark theme - which I don't like much. If you find a way to stop the colour thing please post back. I'll do the same.

btw. thx to whoever moved this back to the Linux thread.

some helpful suggestions - thx

I remembered reading that bookmark export was coming in vers 43. I found the article at:

http://www.ghacks.net/2016/11/07/opera-43-faster-bookmarks-export-and-more/

I guess bookmark export remains in the "Announced features that are not implemented yet" category. bummer.

Funny - I just noticed this thread is in the windows side but I could swear I put it in the Linux side this morning. FWIW it's Linux I'm asking about. I'm not concerned with saving bookmarks in Windows.

Sorry for any confusion.

thanks for the replies...

namvtn - I have an HTML backup just to have something. The problem with HTML is that you lose the folder structure -- kind of a nuisance if you have lot of bookmarks and also inconvenient sometime (see below)

zalex - multiple machines are a mix of windows and Linux. I also experiment with OSes a lot so end up clean installing a lot. My main PC has the most bookmarks. The problem with on-line sync is mostly I get a lot of duplicates and the folder structure gets messed up which makes it harder to find stuff again... and stuff disappears. It's all workable but I sure miss being able to save a research sessions worth of bookmarks in a single file and then restore another one from a single file like we used to in Opera 12.

I just updated to vers 44.0.2510.857 in Mint 18 (64bit) and noticed there still is no way to export bookmarks. Anyone know if its still in the works?

Also has anyone had any luck copying/restoring the opera folder in /home/.config as a way of backing up bookmarks?

• for the record I know there is an extention to do that but I won't install it as the permissions/access are severe
• I also don't use online sync because I run multiple machines and sync makes a mess of my bookmarks

Hi - I hope this isn't too big of a bump.

I just upgraded to vers 39 Opera (in Linux Mint 17 - 64 bit) and ran into the same thing. An export Bookmarks addon will export them but loses the folder hierarchy.

I did copy the bookmarks.adr file in my Home folder (the file is hidden - press control H to see them) to have that as a backup. NOTE: I have not yet tried to restore the bookmarks from that file so I don't know for sure if it works. Still, that is the way I backup my email folders (and calendar) in Thunderbird... and that DOES work.

I had the same problem when trying to log in with my two year old account info. Opera would let me log in but did nothing.

I had to create a new log in account as Opera changed the way their sync system works while back.

Of course I lost my backups when I lost access to the old sync system but had exported them as a safety backup. After I imported the safety backup, the new sync account backed them up online.

Hi - I don't know if this will help but I just updated from v12 to v39 in Linux Mint 17.3.

I originally had issues trying to install from a .deb file downloaded from Opera.com and discovered that there was vers 39 available in Synaptic (package manager).

The direct .deb install looked for dependencies that Synaptic did not.
