Import bookmarks fails in version 5.1.0

Open vidarjb opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Import of bookmarks fail in version 5.1.0 because the bookmark file is read incorrectly. During import, the "title" and "url" values in the bookmark files are switched, so the title appears as the url in the browser. To import my bookmarks, I had to edit the file, so a line would look like this:

{"url":"DuckDuckGo Search Engine","title":"https://start.duckduckgo.com/","folder":"","order":0}

Please note that "title" and "url" have been "switched".

This error should be easy to reproduce:

  1. Eksport all bookmarks from Lightning Webbrowser
  2. Import the bookmarks, using the created bookmarks.txt file.
  3. The imported bookmarks have their values "switched"

Try exporting and importing again, it worked for me on an inofficial build https://github.com/anthonycr/Lightning-Browser/issues/733#issuecomment-510591101

I submitted a fix/PR: https://github.com/anthonycr/Lightning-Browser/pull/780
