Bookmark Archive

The Multi-Browser XP Bookmark Archive is a seperate Archive and has no relation to the Bookmarks stored with Microsoft Internet Explorer. But you can import Microsoft Internet Explorers or other Browsers Bookmarks (by using the IE/Netscape Bookmarks File Format).

    With the Edit Button Menu you can:

    1. Bookmark Folder related
      • Add/Append
      • Delete
      • Rename
      • Export/Import
      • Sorting
    2. Bookmarks related

    A Folders or Bookmarks Caption can directly be edited with a one-click on a selected item.



  • Export

    The whole Archive can be exported with the Toolbar Button 'Archive' into a

    • Text File
    • HTML File
    • XML File
    • RSS 2.0 File

    Compared to a IE/Netscape Bookmark File a Multi-Browser XP Bookmark File stores additional Bookmark properties.

    Also a single Bookmark Folder can be exported with the context menu 'Folder->Export'. Folders containing Url with Windows Media File extension can be exported into a Windows Media Playlist File.

  • Import

    With the Tool Button 'Archiv' a IE/Netscape Bookmark File or a Multi-Browser XP Bookmark File can be imported, thereby a complete new Archiv will be created, in contrast to Import into a selected Folder where contents is only added to the Archive.

    to import and export Bookmarks
