[Feature request] XMark, Google, Firefox bookmark import/export

[john s wolter]

I find Session Manager useful for my morning Chrome startup.  I then start web-page groups for the work activities.  I find the extensive bookmarking of XMarks, FireFox, & Chrome very useful for archiving and knowledge storage.  Session Manger for myself is a kind of work manger.

I looked at the different sync options form Ggle, FF, & XMarks and found they have cross syncing issues.  Even XMarks across those has issues of reproducing synchronized folder structures. 

My suggestion to the developers is to do something simple but I think usable.  Have a way to save or retrieve one session at a time contained in a particular named sync service bookmark folder.   Being explicit, Session-Manager would access XMark's online storage for a folder named Session-Manager.  

The XMark's bookmark folder would contain named folders each of several web-pages like a normal session set.  These could be imported or exported by name.  Bookmark browsing would be limited to the Session-Manager bookmark folder.

Users would do bookmark management using the sync services built-in managers.  User can then create, delete, copy, and modify transferred folders sitting on the sync service.

I've noticed that the various sync services already have the ability to open entire session sets from a bookmark folder.  The drawback is these are intended to be more for archiving rather then quickly switching working sets.  Finding sets within bookmarking implies redundant copies and special top-level folders.  This appears to be a gap in the bookmarking marketplace.

I'd be interested to hear other reactions to this simple service.  I wonder if the sync services have APIs and if so how flexible they might be.

Cheers
