Something maybe the SM UI/UE folks should consider...
I don't think that's something worth pursuing. Import/Export is not
something a user is supposed to do regularly, so why have it in multiple
places, especially the Bookmarks menu or button? I think the Bookmarks
Manager is the correct place to have it. If there will ever be a central
place for import/export (like for Thunderbird and different browsers),
it should also be there, though. For example, Firefox trunk recently
received support for importing from Firefox profiles in addition to
Safari and Chrome (none of which SeaMonkey supports yet).
Greetings,

I must import/export Bookmarks files at least twice a week - to share
them between installs on different machines (my iPad in particular -
Safari for iPad has finally been enhanced with the features I want to
make it usable), and I even edit sets to pass to friends over e-mail as
collections of links. Very, *very* handy once you learn what you can do
with that file.
What I used to do was just move the Bookmarks file from my most heavily
used machine around by drag/drop, copy/paste, or opening the file in a
browser and dragging links from the browser to where I wanted them in
the Bookmarks Sidebar Tab. But now that the SM team has seen fit to
change the file structure of how Bookmarks are stored I'm going to find
myself Exporting/Importing nearly twice weekly to share/synch links with
my iPad and Macbook Pro.
I don't mind doing that, but the option should be far more obvious -
either contained within the Bookmarks Manager window, or via a
contextual menu. The contextual menu presentation sounds quite
intuitive, I think.
...and fix those crappy small dialog buttons.
