@leocg No and no. As stated, I thought this was an automatic feature of opera.

I did choose the 'retain files' option however before resetting, does that count for something?

Hello,

Today i did a factory reset because i had some pretty severe problems i couldnt get fixed.

Before resetting, i specifically chose the option "keep files". Just all my apps and programs would be deleted.

I'm from origin a chrome user who converted to opera around a year back. I am highly used to being all my settings and stuff being saved and easy able to synchronized. With that mindset, i reset today. Just an hour ago, i installed opera again, and i thought everything would be neatly synchronized, and perfect.

But my bookmarks have not showed up. I have a couple of hundred, some very old ones to and they are very dear to me.

Who has some suggestions to getting them back?

What i have tried;
-"Import bookmarks and settings" from the settings menu. Nothing shows up when i go to the appdata folder, where a supposedly html file would be.
-trying to find the bookmark file itself. I can see 2, but no idea what they mean. 1 is called "Bookmarks" and the other "BookmarksExtras". They also dont show up when i try to open from the setting recovery option.

I want to emphasize that other files are perfectly retained. my whole mod folder, movies, downloads etc are all intact. I don't quite understand how my bookmarks got lost.

Any help much appreciated!
