What feature you'd like to see or proposal(期望什么新功能/特性或者建议)

I need to add about 1000 hosts to bookmarks. Doing it manually in the menu is unrealistic. I tried adding them to a boolmark.json file and importing - it didn't work. It probably didn't work because each entry is accompanied by a ID field with an individual key. Why? How can this be automated?

you can export a example json file, and feed the example json and your example host list(not real one with real password) to AI, use the AI to generate a python or whatever language you feel right script to create import json file from your original format, then use the script to create the proper json file, do not feed your password etc to public AI

For ordinary users it is too complicated and opaque. For example, it didn't work out for me.
It is more correct to make bookmarks like in Xshell, for example, in the form of directories with settings files .xsh and crypted password by master password.

I see, import process should allow no id, would be in next release
