Describe the feature you'd like

Currently you import with this mapping:

  return parsed.data.map((bookmark) => {
    return {
      title: bookmark.title ?? "",
      content: { type: BookmarkTypes.LINK as const, url: bookmark.url },
      tags: bookmark.labels,
      addDate: bookmark.savedAt.getTime() / 1000,
    };

But the omnivore export format also has bookmark.State which can be either Active or Archived
I can see, that your import dto doesn't have archived boolean

export interface ParsedBookmark {
  title: string;
  content?:
    | { type: BookmarkTypes.LINK; url: string }
    | { type: BookmarkTypes.TEXT; text: string };
  tags: string[];
  addDate?: number;
  notes?: string;
}

but your bookmarks do have them.

I'd code it myself, but I can't even read typescript, even though I am C# dev.
This react stuff isn't something that I want to learn.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Hoarder users

It would bring better experience when migrating from Omnivore, so that the work that users put into their articles with archiving wouldn't be wasted.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I guess manual bulk updates for bookmarks. But very difficult to tell which should be archived and which not.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

I was not aware of this!

I made a quick and very dirty script using my karakeep-python-api client that should handle most cases: https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/karakeep_python_api/tree/main/community_scripts/omnivore2karakeep-archived, if like me you don't want to reimport your data.

Edit: I'm also working on a script to import the highlights from omnivore

And got the same issue for pocket on archive status not taken in account while imporing

Here it is the script/PR : https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/karakeep_python_api/pull/2

FYI I also did a script to import the highlights from omnivore directly into karakeep: https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/karakeep_python_api/tree/main/community_scripts/omnivore2karakeep-highlights

It uses a probabilistic matching and ignores pdf but worked well for me.
