Describe the Bug

Floccus seems to have problems with certain folder paths and names.

Here is a minimal example that triggers the problem(s).

Initially, firefox has bookmarks:

   + Bookmarks Menu
   +--+ x/
   |  \--+ a/
   |     \--+ 0/
   |        +--- b1 <https://github.com/floccusaddon/>
   |        \--- b2 <https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus>
   \--+ y/
      \--+ a/
         \--+ 0/
            +--- b3 <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/>
            \--- b4 <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/>

If I push up to google drive ( floccus-5.1.0-2024-05-08-full_2.log uploaded privately ), the xbel file looks like:

   + Bookmarks Menu
   +--+ x/
   |  \--+ a/
   |     |--+ 0/
   |     |  +--- b1 <https://github.com/floccusaddon/>
   |     |  \--- b2 <https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus>
   |     \--+ 0/
   |        +--- b3 <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/>
   |        \--- b4 <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/>
   \--+ y/
      \--+ a/

The subfolder "y/a/0" has been moved to another parent "x/a/", so now there are 2 folders "x/a/0".

Then, if I pull down ( floccus-5.1.0-2024-05-08-full_3.log uploaded privately ), the firefox bookmarks now look like:

   + Bookmarks Menu
   +--+ x/
   |  \--+ a/
   \--+ y/
      \--+ a/
         |--+ /
         |  +--- b2 <https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus>
         |  \--- b1 <https://github.com/floccusaddon/>
         \--+ /
            +--- b4 <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/>
            \--- b3 <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/>

The two subfolders named "x/a/0" have been moved to "y/a/", and the folder names that were "0" are now empty strings "" which firefox denotes by "(no title)". Also, the bookmark order is broken.

Expected Behavior

Push and pull should not change anything.

To Reproduce

As in the bug section: start with the initial bookmarks, then push and pull.

Debug log provided

I have provided a debug log file

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Are you syncing bookmarks by other means in parallel to floccus?

I only use floccus to sync.
Thanks for the thanks! I sought to isolate the problem with folders named '0'.
And of course, thanks for floccus and all your work !!!
