Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/538

I did a test of exporting bookmarks from Chrome and importing that HTML file. The HTML file includes headers for the folder names in Chrome, Is it possible to create lists and add the bookmarks to the lists? Currently they all end up under a single imported list.

It is not possible to have the same structure, as Chrome allows folders in folders, Hoarder only allows 1 level of nesting.

@kamtschatka we actually support unlimited nesting. It won't render great in the UI but it's supported

ah indeed. I wanted to do that once before and it did not work. Guess we can do that then.

I have nearly 2000 bookmarks to import and it would kill me if their structure changed😫

It would also be cool if you had the option to add the folder names as tags.

This is very much needed to make it easier to migrate large numbers into Hoarder at once!

Following. This is what is needed to fully transfer and commit to it.
Just ran it and I have 2.5k bookmarks under a single Imported list folder :D
