Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/162

Latest Chrome store release (3.06). Synching seems fine except none of the Bookmarks Menu items that I have in Firefox seem to arrive in Chrome.

Yep, that's by design, as floccus doesn't know where you want those to end up. You will need to set up a new account to exclusively sync the menu, by setting the server folder and the local sync folder to something custom (The server folder should probably be /Bookmarks Menu)

Fair enough. Still, given the convenience factor is high I'd consider mapping to menu to "Other bookmarks". Here is the default layout of the Chrome Bookmarks manager:

So clearly "Other bookmarks" has reasonable candidature. Just a thought for enhanced UX.

As a side though, Xmarks I think did sync them somehow, but its now dead so I cna't check and my recollection is of course like recollection, not great ;-).

Well, Firefox has the bookmarks toolbar, Other bookmarks and the menu, while chrome only has the first two, which makes things a little tricky.

True. Indeed. Wonder what Xmarks did? Really slick UX is a challenge I admit ;-).

I suspect what they did is mapped the Firefox bookmarks menu to a folder under Chrome's toolbar or Other list, though this would need special smart handling of course, for example:

FF Toolbar -> GC Toolbar
GC Toolbar (except for Menu folder) -> Firefox Toolbar
GC Toolbar (Menu folder) -> Firefox menu

which is admittedly a special case and a little messy. But it does target slick seemless UX ;-)

The same is already possible with floccus. You can create a separate account for the same server in chrome, select Bookmarks Menu as the server folder and select whatever folder you want as the local folder.
