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script becomes out of date and the default location is wrong, you can define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.
