>Is there a method to import all of one's URLM Pro bookmarks?
I just launched URLM for the first time in ages, to refresh my memory
of its option. Wow, URLM has a few funky rendering issues on my
newest Mac. Still, it mostly works.
Of course, URL Manager lets you export all or some of your bookmarks,
in several different formats. HTML is the most universally standard
format, and it includes your "note" aka "description". Most other
bookmarking tools (including web browsers and Delicious) let you
import from an HTML bookmarks file (if nothing else).
In the case of Delicious, it looks at all the nested folders in which
your bookmark was saved, and tags that imported bookmark with each of
those folder names. Their example = A bookmark in your "recipes"
folder inside your "household" folder will be tagged both "household"
and "recipes." You can see all their import options and instructions
here:

(you'll need to sign up for a free account to see this page)
It's been so long since I switched, I can't remember if Delicious
imported my "notes" into it's "description" field, or not. Imports
on the Delicious 1.0 were incredibly slow, but I've since used
Delicious 2.0 to import 8000 bookmarks (when I moved a public account
over to a private one) and it was smooth and easy.
Whatever tool you use, I recommend sticking to one that exports to a
universally recognized format, so you're feel to move you bookmarks
any time. Delicious exports you bookmark (title, URL, tags and
notes) to an HTML file. In fact, I'm gonna export a backup copy
right now, while I'm thinking of it.
