(Case 1 has been in our apps for about 8 years, but our dropping of the Bookmarks Menu in Safari in Version 2.12 has made it more likely to occur.) In this version, we have restricted Case 1 to moves in which the moved-to folder is the default parent for the moved item. For example, Safari does not have a Bookmarks Menu aka Other Bookmarks. So if an item which is in Bookmarks Menu aka Other Bookmarks in the Collection document is found to be in a different folder in Safari during an import from Safari, in previous versions, this item fell into Case 1 and the move was ignored.

Case 1 is when the current location in the Collection document is a hard folder which does not exist in the client. The idea is that, to avoid churn, moves which the user apparently did in the web browser since the last import or export are ignored if it could have been done by our app remapping the item during a prior export operation. The explanation is complicated, so you should probably stop reading here.

During Import or Export operations, now correctly copies some special-case moves from the web browser which had been ignored in previous versions.

If Safari bookmarks contain any of those troublesome duplicate types (which can happen if manually created by user in Safari’s Edit Bookmarks window since Safari was last launched), during an Import or Export operation, now displays an informative error, with an explanation and a how to fix, instead of an un-actionable Error 7720XX. (Such troublesome duplicates cause errors due to inconsistent data during our export process, and if manually created by user in Safari’s Edit Bookmarks window, are silently deleted by Safari upon its next relaunch.)

If a Collection’s bookmarks contain duplicate bookmarks at root, or duplicate folder(s) at root, at least one of which is empty, when an Export to Safari is attempted, now displays an informative error, with an explanation and a how to fix, instead of an un-actionable Error 7720XX.

(Such a switching off happens when all syncing is turned off, or when the ‘Reboot Sync Agent’ menu command is clicked.)

If macOS fails to switch off our background syncing agent (BkmxAgent) when required, our app now kills the agent’s process.

The rare case occured if the export contained changes to a bookmark which had percent escape sequences in its URL.

Fixed a rare case of churn when running in macOS 11 or later and exporting to Safari.

(Safari 16 is in macOS 13 Ventura.) Later, if such an import from or export is attempted, the operation is aborted before it begins, again informing the user of the new requirement, instead of failing with an unexplained error as previous versions do.

When launching this version for the first time in when running Safari 16 or later, informs user that importing from or exporting to Safari 16 requires version 3 or later of our app.
