69232 - IE bookmarks are not correctly imported

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53132

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Greg Hersh]

IE bookmarks are not correctly imported, I guess this is due to the fact that IE
has a really bizarre way to save bookmarks as the file. So - when I've tried to
open an imported URL, I get the blank page except the following staff on a top:

[DEFAULT]
BASEURL=http://www.news.com/

[DOC#3#4]
BASEURL=http://news.cnet.com/
ORIGURL=http://news.cnet.com/

URL=http://www.news.com/

Mozilla 0.8, Win98.

Importing from the IE 5.x.

a dupe, hopefully this is the right bug, reporter: you weren't clear about 
what's happening. there are different kinds of importing, and there are 
different ways to use a bookmark.

timeless, typo? That's not the right bug...we're prolly looking for the one where the BM
file is truncated on import.

Fix for bug 53152 was checked in on 2001-02-22
Claudius: Was that the one you're thinking of?

yeah that was the one. That would be consistent b/c this was reported before that fix was
checked in. I was just pretty sure you didn't mean to dupe this on an editor bug :-).

I'm going to mark and verify this as a dupe of bug 53152. reporter, if you can still repro
this behavior w/ a current build then by all means you have my blessing to reopen this bug.
