With this app you can export pages saved in Blazer (Saved Bookmarks) to a VFS card (as html pages) so you can open them with any other browser. I've only tested on a TX (Palm Blazer version 4.3) but it might work with others. If not, let me know and I'll try to fix it. I will need you to send me a bookmark file to see though. I wrote this as my PC is breaking up on me, and I'm currently doing most of my research with my TX. There might be a builtin way to do this, but I haven't found it and I was in a bit of a hurry. In that case, just ignore this but let me know EDIT: On files where the html part is larger than 32k, a bunch of junk characters will appear at the end of the html file. This is a known bug and I'm working on it. ---- Typical disclaimers appy (although nothing should go wrong). Use this app at your own risk. The app can be found here: http://www.1src.com/freeware/fileinfo.php?id=1763 Last edited by alt236 : 11-26-2007 at 06:42 AM.

Sorry its not very sophisticated but I didn't want to bloat the app too much. Just make sure you put slashes on both side of the path. e.g '/DOCUMENTS/' instead of '/DOCUMENTS'. I also removed the need for a tmp file on the card. This might make the app a bit slower on older devices (<OS5) but you shouldn't need to run the app on these devices anyway . Let me know if something else is missing or wrong!

Using '.html'." I've uploaded the bookmark-file and the generated html here: http://www.compuseum.de/pub/blazer.zip Last edited by owl : 10-31-2007 at 03:48 AM.

Program works, although it says error cannot read 'html' type files first, before suceeding. Can't check the file output till i'm on a desktop. Unless you know how to open it on the treo 650. Also in the name of constructive criticism: when getting info on the saved page: rarely is anything useful given, only with two google pges didi I get url, the others were just a lot of numbers. Well done - I need the space for bookmarks.

If it doesnt work, can you send me a bookmark file? PM me for my email.

Looks like the file format is different on the 650 as well. That’s what I get for believing that Palm would actually standardise on something....

Send me a bookmark file if you can and I'll fix it

This post explains how to open local files with Blazer: (http://www.1src.com/forums/showpost...272&postcount=4)

If you use resco explorer navigate to the directory storing them and click on them.
