transferring favorites??

domromer · Jan 19, 2008

I've burnt my old drive onto an external hard drive now I'm transferring things over to my new computer. I clicked and dragged my copy of camino into the new hd but it didn't bring my favorites. How do I find my favorites on the old drive and install them.

can't you export them from camino into a file and onto your external?

Look in your old ~/Library/Application Support/Camino/bookmarks.plist
Copy that to your new drive.

Tried looking in the backup drive, couldn't find that file.

Rather than looking for the bookmarks file, just replace your new .../Camino folder with the old .../Camino folder. That will bring all add-ons, bookmarks, and more over.

An even better idea.
By the way, if you don't know, the ~ means the library in your user folder, not the root of the drive.

I did this and it didn't work either.

I've just started to replace them already.
