+---Topic: Fail during synch btwn IE & Mozilla started by Dan Pettus
Posted by: Dan Pettus on Nov. 12 2002,23:50
I am using IE 5.0, Mozilla 1.2 b2, and Bookmark Converter 3.0 b3. While adding a new synchronization set, I add a source of type IE and try to add another for type Mozilla. My Mozilla bookmarks do not reside where BC defaults to. Its actually a few levels down. (C:\Documents and Settings\dpettus\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\garland\vwgz4av4.slt\bookmarks.html) After selecting the bookmark file, I see the path in the included set, but the Bookmarks Collection Type field is now empty where it should say Mozilla. I select OK on all dialogues. After about 12% I receive an error message stating
---------------------QUOTE-------------------
An error occurred while merging the bookmark collections included in the sync set. A creation of the sync set has been aborted.
---------------------QUOTE-------------------
No other message is given. I can provide the bookmarks file if needed.

Thanks for the report.
It would be great if you could provide me with (email me) both the bookmark file and the favorites (in a zip file), yes. I will then try to analyze and fix this problem ASAP.

Two people have now reported having this problem with a crash when creating a sync-set, but none of them have sent me their bookmark files so I can reproduce and fix it.
Could someone please do this? I cannot fix it otherwise, since I cannot reproduce the problem. 
"Dan Pettus", you offered to send me your bookmarks in the post above, but I haven't heard from you since then. Please contact me if you read this.
