Import bookmarks from Chrome / self-hosted

[Deleted user]

Hi, just setup my unmark self-hosted domain. Easy as pie!

Now, I'm trying to import all my Chrome bookmarks. I've read everywhere online that the 'bokmarks' file located (WIN7) in User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default was indeed a JSON file, which is cool seeing it's the type of file needed to import my stuff to Unmark.

Tough when trying to import this one, I'm always getting this error:
ERROR: Invalid file format uploaded. Only JSON files accepted

So now I'm at a loss on how to proceed...
Any ideas?

Thanks for your help, and most of all for developing such gracious open-source soft

@edtrash if you're up for it, the way to do this is to first do an export of a few bookmarks from the app and see what their format is. Then, you can modify the Chrome bookmarks file to match that format.

Explanation: JSON is just a general data format. Every app/program uses JSON in their own way. So, while the file you found was JSON, it's not necessarily in the same format as the JSON the Unmark app expects. Your best bet is to write a small program to modify the current Chrome file to match the format of the Unmark JSON file and then importing them.

@nitinthewiz is on the right track here. Or, you can use http://unmark.it Paid account and import from just about anything. Then export, then import locally. :-)

(BTW, by paying the small fee for Unmark you're actually ensuring its future development)
