Here is the error I get when I try using that software :

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

hay all. just registered because i am using crome and firefox. and this post helped.. i think us amateurs missed 2 things, i finally found the file using sqlite as indicated but needed to switch the file type in the search window to all files, bam there it was, so using plain old windows search i went to the file copied it and went made a folder in an easy to get to place then pasted the file there. the next problem i had was it was not opening with the sqllite program and err i new i could make this work... got to using the old noggin and noticed the file was named history with no extension, give me a hallelujah. i renamed it to history.sqlite (the file i copied and pasted to a new location NOT the one in the crome directory) and bam it opened up using the sqlite program. and now i must say OH MY GOD.... every where i ever went and not that i visited any porn sites but if i did they would be listed there and i dont want them to be on the computer that i did. not that i did, honest,, i did not,, can i show you the fixed list ?
any way thanks to this post i now have a favorites list that rocks.... and other info that is helping me manage my lists.
thanks
Don

hi,
unfortunately the above steps haven't worked for me so far. here's the screen copy of the error i get:

Hi peeps!

I found that the .NET app didn't work properly, since the bookmarks are now stored in a text file with a proprietary format. If only they had used XML ....

Anyhow, I just knocked together a small Java app that will read the Chrome bookmark file and create internet shortcuts in your IE Favorites folder, which effectively makes them appear as Favorites within IE.

The ZIP attached is the entire NetBeans 6.0 project, with source code, so you can see that the program does not contain spyware, etc...

To run it, either build the source yourself, or just go into the "dist" folder and double-click the JAR file. The process is silent, so check your Favorites folder before concluding that it didn't work. Also, make sure you have the latest Java runtime installed, obtainable at http://java.com/en/

Hi guys!

Firstly, huge thanks to TYPELiFE and MarkClouden for trying to help everyone out and providing help and assistance in trying to accomplish what should be a simple task, if only the Chrome developers had stopped to think that people might just want to export their bookmarks  ):
1. Got hold of and installed Chromium build #4205 from link provided on Google Chrome Help
2. Copied bookmarks, history, cookies and preferences from Chrome user data to Chromium user data
3. Jumped up and down excitedly when I realised I'd got my bookmarks et al into Chromium
4. Stopped jumping up and down excitedly when I realised I still couldn't export them anywhere else easily
5. Eventually found MarkClouden's lovely little app and tried to get hold of my bookmarks from Chromium
6. Got an error message saying something about SQLite (didn't think to take note of it at the time, but I guess it was because I didn't have the SQLite Manager installed in Firefox)
7. Found this thread, and decided I probably needed to install SQLite, so installed SQLite and tried again. All appeared to work, but then opened up Firefox, and nothing had happened to the bookmarks
8. Consumed more coffee and cigarettes while plotting revenge on Google Chrome developers for messing my day up
9. Decided to try it the manual way, as described at the beginning of this thread, but came up with the error attached. Also, looking at the structure of the database, it doesn't look like it's anything to do with the bookmarks (as in 'starred' items). Like the name of the file suggests, it looks like it's to do with the browsing history only.
10. Decide to try and export bookmarks from Chrome rather than Chromium, as I've only bookmarked a few sites since setting up Chromium this morning, but trying to select the 'history' file in Chrome, SQLite's just saying 'database not selected' in the left pane (despite me selecting it in 'connect database', and if I try 'create view', it's just saying "you must first open a database"
11. Try again with Chrome, but this time try to select the file called 'bookmarks' (logically, you'd think they'd call it 'bookmarks', wouldn't you?). Same error message as in previous step above, that no database is selected.
12. Tried Scaroth's little Java app, after checking I've got the latest Java runtime installed, which according to the Java site, I have (1.6.0_10-rc). Not only is the Java app silent, but I checked my IE favourites, and definitely absolutely nothing has happened at all.
13. Closed everything again and double-clicked the jar file again, just to make sure I did infact double-click it before. For result, see previous step.
14. Give up and sulk because I've wasted virtually all day on this, got no work done, consumed far too much coffee and cigarettes, and contemplate whether to join the Foreign Legion (and infact whether they accept girlies, even if they are geeky girlies   ):
Chrome: 0.3.154.9
Chromium: 0.3.155.0 (build #4205?)
IE: 7.0.6001.18000
Vista 32 bit (all Win updates applied)

Has it really been a month since the starred table was removed? Sheesh, im either very lazy or very overworked. Im not sure.

But I finally did get sick of all the 'no starred table' errors being mailed to me and so today I released a version to support the latest Chrome builds as well as Chromium (default profile). Just in case, I made it so that it will still work with old installs of Chrome (starred table).

It doesn't appear to be. I've just tried downloading from that same link again, and I'm still getting the 'starred' error or the one saying history/bookmarks (I've tried it with both) aren't a sqlite db file.


That sounds awesome! Of course it would be so much easier if Chrome would just let us have a html file anyway *sigh* I guess you can't have everything.

I've even tried Transmute this morning which I just discovered, which is supposed to be able to convert between just about every known bookmarks format (including Chrome, Chrome dev builds, and Chromium), but Firefox is resolutely refusing to play.  :roll:

The latter fails with
