Bookmarks export in order to support more browsers
Hello,
exporting the menu as bookmarks it would be possible to support nearly all major browsers. It's only necessary to generate a bookmark file for one browser and the files for other browser can be converted by the free tool Transmute (http://
I already figured out which file format would probably the most easy one for be generated by Easy Menu and I think it is the Opera one's. Let's have a look at the following example: http://

I wrote a simple bash script that converts the Easy Menu xml file to the Opera bookmarks format (adr):
http://
It's no good coding, but it works fine. However, it is very slow when converting a large menu like ubuntuusers Menu (due the counting loop) and entries without an URL are not recognized, yet.
After importing the bookmarks with Opera you can export a Netscape bookmark file (.html)! This file is supported by a lot of browsers, like:
> Opera
> Firefox
> Chrome / Chromium
> Konqueror
> Internet Explorer ? (untested)
> …
As you can see, this is a great opportunity to support nearly all browsers and maybe you feel like implementing adr-export. Probably it is a easy task for you.
By the way, the tool Transmute isn't very good, because it does not work with special characters and it doesn't support menu separators.
Best regards,

I improved the script above. It generates a bookmark file for each language now and the code is a bit nicer.
