Why isn't this question answered, and why does the problem with
bookmark

I haven't tried restoring a .jsonlz4 bookmark backup, so I don't
know
if it will restore or no, but as a work-around, in
about:config you
can set
browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML
to true so that SeaMonkey will save your bookmarks at exit to
bookmarks.html in your profile directory. Which isn't nice as
the
last however many files saved in the bookmarkbackups directory,
but if
you do regular backups it's pretty close.

Just FYI, Lee, I've had my SM prefs set as you indicate but I've
had no
bookmark files created (unfortunately!!) since about January. (on
either
Win7 or Linux)
before exiting SM:
11/15/2014 07:35 PM 966,972 bookmarks.html
after:
11/17/2014 10:53 AM 966,972 bookmarks.html
at the very least, it updates the timestamp for me :)
... are you expecting multiple files? All you get is the one file,
which is why I said
Which isn't nice as the

59 files called "bookmarks" (no three letter extension), bookmarks-1
through to -6, one bookmarks.html, two bookmarks.html.msf (my
stuffs up
from a while ago).
Just indexed them on "Date modified". The bookmarks-1 through -6 are
most recent, *except* for a file dated today, 18/11/2014, when I'm
on my
Win7 incarnation of SM rather than my Linux SM.
Is it a Win7 v Linux problem I have??
With Mac OS, SeaMonkey is faithfully creating a new backup every day,
but I cannot restore any of them, so that is not much use. The
.json is
also not restorable. I have been making a habit of saving as
.html as
well all along.
.json is definitely a work in progress.
With the .html file, when you say you cannot restore any of them, what
are you doing??
When I had a problem a while ago, selecting Bookmarks->Manage
Bookmarks
then, in the Bookmarks Manager, Tools->Import HTML. Then point to your
saved bookmarks.html file and away you go.
No, I cannot restore any of the compressed .jsonlz4 backups. I can
certainly import .html backups if I have to do that. I made a habit of
creating a .html backup as well as a .json backup.
Did you notice how I typed ".json is definitely a work in progress." and
then gave reasonable detailed instructions of how to make use of the
.html file??
browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTM set to true didn't do anything for me
except create a bookmarks.html folder in my SeaMonkey profile. I'm
"backing up" my SeaMonkey bookmarks by importing them from Pale Moon,
which is the only Mozilla-derived browser I'm aware of that "hasn't gone
json".
Typo. Should have read: browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML
Roger, I've also got browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML set to true ....
and I've now got a bookmarks.html file dated 22.11.2014 01:01 (when I
closed up shop this morning).
Note: this was done using my Linux install, I notice you are on Win7 and
EE is on Mac, so your situations could be different!!
