Iāve just released a beta version of the upcoming v3.4.0 release of the bookmarks app. New features include broken links detection, automatic archival of bookmarked files, an overhauled UI and flow integration. Please see the release page for all included changes: https://github.com/nextcloud/bookmarks/releases/tag/v3.4.0-beta.1
Please test and provide feedback
(You should be able to install the beta version from the UI by setting your instance release schedule to ādailyā and then installing it from the āappsā view.)

Nextcloud 20.0.0beta3 on NextcloudPi with Bookmarks-3.4.0-beta1
I downloaded the app using the Unstable link in the appstore: wget https://github.com/nextcloud/bookmarks/releases/download/v3.4.0-beta.1/bookmarks-3.4.0.tar.gz && tar -xf bookmarks-3.4.0.tar.gz && rm -rf bookmarks-3.4.0.tar.gz
Difficulty setting up the app via basic commands.
First off, I really appreciate the app showing it is āthinkingā while importing bookmarks.
Is it possible to auto-refresh the page after import completes? Currently it just does back to āNo Bookmarksā start screen.
Okay, it seems to be a bugā¦ clicking Recent Bookmarks or All Bookmarks will start to show bookmarks, but then drop by after a few seconds to displaying:
Also still lists 0 bookmarks after import via *.html finished, even though the bookmarks do start to appear along with thumbnails if I click one of these options. Refreshing the browser does not help.
edit: Fixed by changing ownership of bookmarks to www-data for user and group. chown www-data ./bookmarks/ && chgrp www-data ./bookmarks/
Import Complete
All bookmarks display on left side, but the only thumbnail I see is for a singular folder called folder name on mouse hover.
If at all possible, Iād love to not generate this folder. Within it is my existing bookmark structure.
Or, a simple operation to move everything within /"folder name" up a directory to / and maintain my previous root structure for bookmarks.
Import Bookmarks vs. Settings / Import & Export Bookmarks
Import Bookmarks doesnāt give any information other than selecting the .html file to import. Settings / Import & Export Bookmarks includes these very useful options:
Importing via this exact method ^^ failed. Sent you the .log file.
Iād love to see these options added to āImport Optionsā button as well since it is selectable on first run of the app.
Broken Links
Selecting Broken Links only shows me that same No Bookmarks blurb
The unnamed folder issue is fixed now. Itās due to how the older versions exported the bookmarks. If you export and import again in the new version this wonāt happen anymore.
The archive path is not a control for the import. Itās a setting for where in the files app your file links should be archived to.

Ah, Iāll fix this.
(Also, you should really try to get away from the legacy floccus sync method. Itās deprecated already and will likely be removed in future versions. Plus, itās unsafe.)
The issue must relate to how my bookmark folders are structured even before I import them. Suggestions appreciated. I suppose Iāve been riding the train too long. How do I stop using the legacy sync method? I donāt know howā¦ Am I supposed to:
manually remove every one time password on my Nextcloud account until it stops doing this?
Only import bookmarks to my browser and then sync those to my bookmarks account via Floccus
some combination of the two
Iām unsure of what to do. My testing is literally on a brand new instance. I am:
Installing Nextcloud for the first time on a dedicated device via Debian stable Buster with Docker.
Adding the Bookmark beta app.
Importing bookmarks via html
I havenāt actually setup Floccus or anything else on this test instance. This is all Iāve done. Perhaps Iām missing a step to get rid of whatever legacy sync.
