Import IE Mobile Favorites to Opera (TouchHD/Touch Pro)

[Dalboy]

I couldn't find a way to do this so I slapped this cab together. I empathize the word slapped. Its pretty simple, copy the cab to the device then install. Once installed then execute the program and it will copy all the favorites into the Opera6.adr file.

It will handle folders in the IE Favorites but only the first level. If you have folders in folders then your on your own.

I take no responsibility for what this does to your device and stress I have only tested this on my HD. If you are worried but still want to do this then you might want to backup your Opera6.adr file which is located in the \Windows\Opera9 folder. (This is the only file this program changes)

Have fun

Ideas?

It has no shortcut because it can be harmful in deleting your current Opera Favorites but the executable is in Device\Program Files\ImportIEFav.

@Dalboy
Nice job!

[Dalboy]

Hehe I like your explanation. It had nothing to do with my laziness at all!

[setox]

will this work on touch pro cdma?

[Dalboy]

Does it have the opera file at \windows\opera9\opera6.adr? If so then you could backup the file and try it.

Great idea, but I tried on my HTC touch pro, but when I start to execute, it gave me the error in the picture below.
Installed on mani memory. The execute is located in "progammi" (I'm Italian).
Any help ?

Ok Italian devices would need an Italian version. If you like I can create it but will need some help with my Italian. So if you could help by suppling the paths for:

\Windows\Favorites

and

\Windows\Opera9

In Italian and maybe I should also get the warning label translated too if you could:

This will import all your IE mobile Favorites to Opera. WARNING!!!! It will overwrite all existing Links stored in Opera.

Sorry I forgot the Application Title:

Import Mobile Favorites

L'applicazione importerà tutti i tuoi Preferiti di IE Mobile in Opera Mobile. ATTENZIONE!!!! Sovrascriverà tutti i Links esistenti archiviati in Opera.

I don't think it's a good idea to change the name of the application translating it in Italian (it sounds like "Importa Preferiti Mobile"). Probably it could be better to explain more clear the goal of the application in the title and only in English... something like "PIE Favorites in PPC Opera" or "PIE/Opera Favorites" or "PIE->Favorites-> Opera".

I'll be gratefull for your Italian version
Thanks in advance

Sorry to busy to test at the moment. I just changed the labels and recompiled.
