How to organise bookmarks in Opera Mobile

It always seems to show the most recently added at the bottom. I have quite a long list and one of the ones I use a lot is near the bottom. It's a pain and I can't seem to find a way to re-organise them.

Can't help with the arranging but if its a long list why not create new folders and split them up.

  1. Use folders
  2. Export your Firefox bookmarks to an MHT or HTM file and sync this with your phone. Then you can open this bookmark file with Opera instead and get an organized list of bookmarks, fresh from your desktop.
  3. Haven't thought of a way to do that sync in reverse though, i.e to select bookmarks in opera and upload them to the desktop...

If you use Opera on your desktop you can keep them in sync with Opera Link: http://www.opera.com/link/

That only works with Opera Mini though, not Opera Mobile.

Oh, right you are. My bad... Havn't gotten to use it in Opera Mobile yet, and now I guess I don't have to.  :)

I guess it is because Opera Mobile 9.5 still is somewhat of a beta and they havn't implemented it yet? Would be silly if they didn't put it in eventually...  :D

Yeah, seems silly to support it in Mini and not Mobile. I can't believe there is no way to just move my bookmarks up or down though!

open Opera

enter this as a link without http://www.

opera:config

than enter

Sorry what is that supposed to achieve? There doesn't seem to be any setting in there that has any influence over bookmarks

You can manually edit the Opera bookmarks file.

Find the file opera6.adr (it should be in My Device/Application Data/Opera9).

Make a copy and edit it with a text editor (pay attention to use the proper format).

Then replace the original with the edited one.

BTW if you flash your phone you can simply make a backup copy of the file and copy it back after.

Opera trashed my bookmarks. My fault, guess the colour of my shirt was wrong.

I went looking for a solution and thankfully found this post. :(

This post is one of those gems that everyone sees and uses but draws no comment.

SO: Thanks so much for pointing this out 'taril'. A thousand blessings upon you, your family, friends, pets... you get the gist.
