Importing Files
 

trying to import my bookmarks from Firefox as an .html file into the N810. I can not locate the .html file once copied into the n810 using the cable. Any suggestions as to how to locate the file ?

Well, if you used the USB cable, then they should have ended up on one of the removable memory cards.

it could well be in /home/user/Mydocs

The USB cable doesn't mount the rootfs.

Touché, mon Général :mad:

how do you get to an explorer to search the drives for files ? I cant seem to get there from the file explorer.

You might try using a better file manager - I find the builtin FM to be most limited in it's functionality. I've been using emelFM2 It will let you see pretty much everything :D

thanks, found the alternative file manager, but dont know how to install. also, found my file of bookmarks, but the bookmark application crashes when I try to import the file over to a folder in the application. Any suggestions ?

I suppose I could just leave it in the documents folder and use it from there, but that would not be the way it is intended.

Ok, first - the easiest way to install the file manager is to just navigate (using the web browser on your N810) to the link that I provided in the other post and tap on the version of the deb you want (ie: OS2007 or OS2008). That will automatically open up the Application manager and then viola follow the steps to install :D

Next, I was just able to import my FireFox bookmarks (I needed to do this anyway). I went into FF and selected Organize Bookmarks, then File->Export ->a file named bookmarks.html

I then transferred this over to my memory card using the USB cable. I opened the web browser -> Manage Bookmarks ->Menu -> Tools -> Import -> navigate to the bookmarks.html file that FireFox had generated. Viola, my FireFox bookmarks show up in a folder called "Imported Bookmarks".

As a side note, I didn't actually want all of my FF bookmarks, so before I transferred the html file to the card, I edited it in text editor to delete the bookmarks I didn't want.

Hope this helps :)

neither worked for me. I will keep trying. Application Manager did not open up and the import tool keeps crashing the bookmarks. ??? If things dont start to get easier I am not sure I am going to keep the n810 ?
