searchproviders2html.sh
This script converts KDE/Konqueror's search providers (a.k.a. web shortcuts),
that are stored as .desktop
files, into a Firefox-friendly HTML bookmarks
file, ready to be imported with Firefox's bookmark manager. Imported bookmarks
will be in the "Search providers" directory.
The HTML is printed on the standard output, so you'll have to redirect it to a file, such as:
searchproviders2html >searchproviders.html
If your .desktop
files are not stored at the default location, or if this
script becomes out of date and the default location is wrong, you can define
the SEARCHPROVIDERS_PATH
variable in the environment:
SEARCHPROVIDERS_PATH=/my/search/providers/directory
Limitations:
-
Only the
\{@}
syntax is handled at the moment in input URLs. That means that if you're using numbered values (\{0}
,\{1}
, etc.) or named variables, they will appear as is in the output HTML. -
Firefox handles only one keyword (shortcut) per bookmark, therefore
searchproviders2html
will retain only the first keyword from the.desktop
file.
