create shortlinks to urls in a folder from a txt file with the url list

[Contro]

Hi Contro. The paths can contain spaces, that is not the issue.

YOU ARE RIGHT

Are you sure you have the correct path to the profile folder?
Yes. It's the given following your instructions
profile folder. about:support


My path has this format (the xi3je3ww.default part is the name of a folder not a file):
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xi3je3ww.default


Have you doublechecked that there is a file named bookmarks.html in the profile folder? (IIRC firefox writes to that file when the browser closes so you may have to close and restart Firefox in order for that file to appear.)
YES, There is a file called bookmarks.html in that folder.

If there is a bookmarks.html in the profile folder then perhaps there is some language dependent variation in syntax that trips up the script. Could you post a small snippet from that file, a few lines that shows an url or two would be enough.
May be. Don't forget at least once the script goes well and i obtain the output folder....


Another thing to check: perhaps there is a write permission issue. Test changing the output folder to something else e.g. C:\testfolder and see if that makes a difference.
Running to try. Must be something of the sort.

I can edit in other ways if you wish.

One more thing to check: there can't be any other files (non .url files) in the output directory. The script should give an error message if there is. But you might want to double check that.

For me to see if anything in the bookmarks.html syntax is causing the problem you will have to open bookmarks.html in Notepad or similar text editor. Copy a snippet of the code there and posts it using the

final part of the bookmarks.html
 

[Nod5]

Ok, I found the problem. Or several problems really. FFBookmarkUnpacker failed on nested subfolders, separator lines and in case a bookmark without a folder was first in the bookmarks.html file. A bit embarassing but in my defence I made it a long time ago mostly for my own use. Anyway, I fixed the issues and put up an updated version that should fix those problems, http://nod5.dcmember...ookmarkunpacker.html . Let me know if it works.

BTW you can now edit your previous posts above and remove the bookmarks.html snippets if you want to for privacy.

Simply you are great.
Then when goes well the first time i had the bookmarks in the good way for ffbookmarkunpacker.
And now i will have well the bookmarks for the new version of ffbookmarkunpacker.

Running to try.
 

[Contro]

Trying and running !!!!!!
I waited to reinitiate the system just because i had followed your advice and put as resident ffbookmarkunpack
And the program runs wonderfully !!!!!

Best Regards

Great that it worked out.

Just a reminder: remember that FFBookmarkUnpacker every time it runs first clears the output folder before unpacking all bookmarks from Firefox to it, so that the folder only contains the same bookmarks as Firefox has. So don't manually put any other files in that folder. (FFBookmarkUnpacker does check if there are any non .url files there and in that case doesn't clear the folder but instead gives an errormessage. But if a user has manually put .url files in the output folder then those will be cleared.)
