Re: Importing Powermarks into Delicious

Hi Rocco, James,

Thanks for the advice -- a few regular expressions later, and my bookmarks
imported with the tags successfully preserved.

Just one more problem. It seems to have used the wrong date field. Powermarks
has the following 3 date fields:

ADD_DATE="972230504" LAST_VISIT="972230504" LAST_MODIFIED="1188335016"

Where Add Date is all I care about, and the above number should be equivalent to
2000-10-22

After importing, the bookmark in question shows a date of 31 Dec 2002 instead,
which I assume is one of the other fields.

What should I rename ADD_DATE to? Or should I just delete the others?

I'll have to delete my account and re-import everything (why is the batch delete
function so feeble?), but I really want the dates to be correct.

ADD_DATE is correct. We have a known problem with really early ADD_DATEs that should be fixed in the next few weeks. -- Rocco Caputo - Delicious...
