| Description: |
bmconverter.rb is a Ruby-script to convert bookmarks of various formats. The initial version supports Opera Hotlist v2 and FireFox v0.8.
The script can be easily extended with other bookmark formats as long as you know some Ruby-basics. You only have to worry about parsing a new format and/or formatting the items (URLs, Folders, Seperators, Header). Everything else-state machine, bookmark stack, item storage, command line parameter parsing, error prone design (hopefully) and so on-should not be the problem any more.
I hope, this tool finds a lot of friends that extends it to a general bookmark converter, that supports all major types of bookmark formats. At least I couldn't find such a tool when I needed a (good!) conversion of my bookmarks (>3500) from Opera to FireFox. This is the reason, why I also added this tool to SourceForge.net.
