Thanks J., First let me correct an error on my part ,Bookmarks is just that,no ldif appendage which is my boob of the week , of course the ldif is the Netscape addressbook.ldif , but Bookmarks is just Bookmarks.

In reality it creates another file bookmark.xml(note lowercase) so I deleted the original booksmark.XML,but it made no difference it merely recreates it, and nedless to say there is no bookmark list in konqueror. BUT, further thoughts, and yes I cracked it. Instead of trying to make the bookmark file look like a konqueror file I merely created a fake /.netscape directory in home user, and renamed bookmaks to bookmark.html(which it must be) and copied it to the fake directory :- /directoryhomeuser/.netscape/bookmarks.html Then went to konqueror-Bookmarks-Editbookmarks-File-import Netscape Bookmarks (which is no longer grayed over)- as new folder, and yes it's now there to be used. Thank you J. you gave me the idea , that I addapted,and it paid off. regards, John > > On Saturday 30 March 2002 22:38, you wrote: > > How do you import Netscape Bookmarks into Konqueror when > > you don't have a Netscape browser installed, only a Netscape > > bookmarks.ldif file . > > > > Going to Konqueror - Bookmarks - File - import netscape Bookmarks > > is greyed over, and does not seem to pemit access to the Netscape.ldif > > file. > > > > > > John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
