I can't convert the Chinese and Japanese bookmarks from FireFox to IE, it just showed me:

"Error writing IE favorite file, one or more bookmarks will fall to be converted! You might have tried to convert a bookmark file with long bookmark names to a directory with a long path.

To try to solve this problem, convert to a directory with a short path, e.g. C:\FAVORITES, and then copy the favorites to the desired location."

I don't have any long-name bookmarks and I just converted the bookmarks to C:\ only, and all the bookmarks with Chinese or Japanese will be incorrectly converted into some strange characters!

Yes, that is correct, unicode bookmarks are currently not supported. :( But if you send me a sample Firefox bookmark file that has such bookmarks, I can analyze it and make the error messages more descriptive at least, so you are very welcome to do that. Thanks!
