Bookmark Converter 3.2 (beta 1) was just released!

Here's what's new:

* Added support for the latest versions of all
 supported browsers (Internet Explorer 6.0
 SP1, Firefox 1.0, Opera 7.54, Mozilla 1.7.3,
 Netscape 7.2).

* Added support for the description/comment
 and keyword/shortname fields for bookmarks
 and folders, in all browsers where it is
 applicable.

* Fixed a bug that under certain conditions
 could cause a crash when converting from
 Opera bookmark collections that contained
 subfolders in the Personal Bar folder.

* Fixed a bug that could cause errors when
 outputting IE favorites from bookmarks
 having a leading space.

* Added handling of a newly found illegal
 naming condition in Windows file systems,
 during writing of IE favorites.

* Made the importing code for Netscape/
 Mozilla/Firebird/Phoenix bookmark files more
 tolerant to some custom modifications of the
 bookmark file that might be done by other
 third party products.

* Known problems in this release:
 - Microsoft has changed the format of their
   undocumented way of storing ordering
   information for Internet Explorer
   favorites in Internet Explorer 6 SP1.
   Until I have been able to reverse engineer
   this new format more fully, only reading
   of Internet Explorer favorite order
   information is supported for IE 6 SP1
   systems, not writing (i.e. your order of
   bookmarks might not be preserved when
   converting to Internet Explorer 6 SP1
   systems).


Enjoy!

Hi,
I just installed and tested the Bookmark Converter 3.2 (beta).
This is just the tool I was looking for (and even contemplating
of writing myself ;-).
Great.
May I suggest a simple but effective enhancement of the
User Interface (GUI)?
Please create a unique Shortcut Key "x" for each buttom, so
it is possible to "click" by just pressing ALT+x.
AFAIK this can be easily done by inserting a character "&"
before the desired character in the buttom's "Caption" text.
It helps much whenever you repeatedly select with the mouse
and then want to do an action (Buttom click), e.g.
"Delete selected bookmark from collection".
But it is generally a good idea to use Shortcut Keys
wherever possible & useful since an (experienced) user is
much faster with the keyboard than with the mouse.

Thanks a lot.
Gerhard

I'm glad you like Bookmark Converter. I will look into handling hot-keys better, thanks for the suggestion.
