69963 - imported favorites incomplete & hassle

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53152

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[C.R. Labombard]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010222
BuildID:    2001022209

Mozilla doesn't import all my favorites from IE, just some of them.  Also: when
importing them by hand, as using the control button or outlining more than one
file doesn't work, it must be done one file at a time.  Folders aren't
importable by hand.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Load in IE and add in two years worth of bookmarks.
2) Load in Mozilla.
3) Check Mozilla's imported bookmarks.
4) -sigh-
5) bookmarks/manage bookmarks/file/import bookmarks
6) try importing more than one at a time
7) try importing a folder

Actual Results:  No folders, no multiple favorites

Expected Results:  Folders and multiple files.

Keep rockin' --both my wife and I like Mozilla!

I believe there is an outstanding bug which means that IE favorites whose name 
includes a "." can stop other IE Favorites from appearing in Mozilla's Imported 
IE Favorites. Is this consistent with what you are seeing?

(Anyone know that bug number?)

verfied dup of "filenames containing '..' or ending w/ '.' stop the directory
enumerator (can affect imported IE favorites)"
