[X4U] Updating Safari with old Bookmarks

[Brett Conlon/HU/AU/SonyDADC]

Yeah, I only have one User account and the old file is _replacing_ the new 
one when I copy it across. The fact that the old bookmark file is changing 
from 153k to 4k when I launch and quit Safari is an indication that Safari 
is trying to use it but I suspect that something in my old file is faulty. 
this would also explain why it's failing when trying to import the 
bookmarks out of it too.

Unfortunately, after opening it up in Text Editor, there is way too much 
XML code (or whatever it is) in there to interpret what I can simply copy 
and paste into a fresh Bookmarks.plist file.

A buddy recommended trying to open it in BBEdit so I've downloaded the 
Lite version (6.1.2) and I'll give that a go (not sure what to do with it 
but...) but I suspect that I've lost my very detailed folder structures 
for good!

Ta,

Coj

Were you successful? It should just be a simple drag & drop. This has 
always
worked for me. Are you sure you're copying it into the correct 
~/Library/Safari
folder? Multiple accounts?
