Importing Process


1. Configure Import option

Select "Import" command from Hot List Menu.

There are three options for importing.

  1. General
    This button imports general HTML files you downloaded. You may choose "LineFeed" or "Return" as record delimiter of source HTML file. (If source HTML file is made by Mac, usually record delimiter is " LineFeed " otherwise it is "Return". I usually try "LineFeed" first.)
    If the source file is using HTML Bold tag to define Header, use "B -> Folder" option.

  2. Netscape's Bookmarks.html
    Press "Netscape" button when you want to import Netscape Navigaterª's Bookmarks.
    At the first time, you will be asked where is the BookMark Manager and where is bookmarks.html file. Please select those from the dialog.
    The bookmarks.html is in the Netscape Ä in the Preference folder in your System Folder.
    Once you set those location, you don't have to set it again.
    You can clear Bookmarks of Netscape after importing to check the Clear bookmarks.html option.

  3. Hot List file exported from BookMark Manager
    Press "Exported File" button when you want to exported file from the BookMark Manager..


2. Select source file and name New Hot List

At the first time you are importing, you may asked where is the BookMark Manager program. Please select your BookMark Manager on your hard disk from dialog. From next time, you will not asked it again.
After that, please select source file. The BookMark Manager will make new Hot List titled with source file name. Hot List's title should be unique name.
Hot List's title can't contain at least those characters because those characters has special meanings in Pop-Up menu.
BookMark Manager will replace those character into space.

;, ^, <, (, /

Also use only character A to Z for the title of Hot List to be exported. Otherwize external hyper link like from Home Page to each Hot List may not work properly.
You can rename it from this dialog.

If you are importing Netscape's bookmarks, you may asked where is the bookmark.html file. The BookMark Manager will name new Hot List as like "95-03-12 bookmarks".

Also you can set the back ground color of Hot List within this dialog.
With default setting, BookMark Manager will assigns color automatically. The back ground color is effective when you are using Web browser supporting the back ground color.


Press "Save" button and BookMark Manager will start importing.
You can cancel importing to press Command - Period. After importing process is finished, BookMark Manager will show you the contents of imported Hot List.




If importing process doesn't work fine



Importing 2 byte Character code

When you are importing 2 byte Character, please go to "Preference" and check the "2 byte character mode" check button. So far it makes all the imported character into upper case. We will fix this problem soon :>
