Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/2179

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I got this error:
"E045: Unexpected folder path. The local sync folder for this profile used to be at /Favorites bar but is now at /Bookmarks bar. Please make sure this is intended and set the local sync folder again in the profile settings. | Last synchronized: 20 minutes ago"

I can't sync Chrome or Opera with Edge. It says disabled

Describe the solution you'd like

Please clarify in the FAQs what you need to do to sync them to folders that are named differently: Edge calls it the "Favorites bar," and others call it the "Bookmarks bar."

Describe alternatives you've considered

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. Let me give you a short introduction on what to expect from this issue tracker to avoid misunderstandings. I'm Marcel. I created floccus a few years ago, and have been maintaining it 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. It helps when you stick around to answer follow up questions I may have, as very few bugs can be fixed directly from the first bug report, without any interaction. If information is missing in your bug report and the issue cannot be solved without it, I will have to close the issue after a while. Note also that GitHub in general 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! If you cannot lend a helping hand, to continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way, I ask that you donate to the project when opening an issue (or at least once your issue is solved), if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

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 Nextcloud 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.

Thank you for reading through this primer. I look forward to working with you on this issue! Cheers! 💙

Hey @btodder
Thank you for taking the time to give feedback by opening this issue!
I believe, you can simply set the folder again in the settings, and it should start working fine. That's kind of what the error message says, too. How could I make that message more clear?

hi @marcelklehr, I think it would be helpful if there was more explanation in general. Maybe a documentation page that helps one to more easily troubleshoot these errors without trial & error would be useful. For example, when you say "set the local sync folder again in the profile settings" I don't know exactly what you mean by "set" and how its supposed to be done correctly. I see the save button but I don't understand when I am supposed to use it without guessing etc. I'm not a very technical person so I had to trial & error my way through the issues I faced.

Here is one other issue I had btw: I set it up on my desktop browsers first & then installed the mobile app on my iphone but since I wasn't able to import the .json file. I had to make a new bookmarks.xbel file that was blank and then push from my desktop and delete the blank bookmarks.xbel. But it took me a long time to figure this out because I kept thinking there was an easier way I had missed and thus I spent more time than I wanted looking for workarounds.

Thanks.
