Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/79

Software versions

  • Browser: Chrome 65
  • Nextcloud: 12.0.5
  • Nextcloud Bookmarks app: 0.11.0
  • Floccus: 2.0.6

Steps to reproduce

  1. Donate, whether it works entirely or not yet - this is damned fine software (in theory) and needs supporting.
  2. On my home PC I copied all my bookmarks (about 2500 of them) into the bookmark folder that floccus uses for syncronisation.
  3. Went onto my work PC (with a new install/profile of Chrome) and tried to sync them down.

Expected outcome

It to sync up properly and down properly?

Actual outcome

Noticed that a tonne of my bookmark folders were not preserved but it didn't give any errors either, it just uploaded them anyway without the folder structure. Folders with names like 'A-B-C' and '♪' worked... but other folders (and also likely because of it - all subfolders too that depended on it) with names like '🏢 💡' or '⚙ 🔬' didn't work.

I can confirm this. It appears to be an upstream bug, which I'm glad to say seems to be fixed in the upcoming release of the bookmarks app. 🎄

(Using emojis for folder names is an amazing idea, btw! :D)

Mmh, some emojis work, some don't. That's weird.

With the latest version of floccus plus the release candidate of the bookmarks app this seems to be fixed.

It's good to hear this has been fixed, in the RC. Sadly the one on the store has yet to be updated.

Note: this bug also affects individual bookmarks with emojis in their name.
