Scenario: A reporting tool run in our company has been upgraded to a newer version. It is being accessed by a URL in a browser: www.company.de/programm/v8/client/ The users were able to save browser bookmarks. I.e.: www.company.de/programm/v8/client/report1
The updated URL has changed (www.company.de/programm/new/v10/client/), thus letting all saved user-bookmarks resolve into nothingness.
My question: Is there a snippet for JS that either updates the URL string from "v8/" to "new/v10/" or at least scans to existing bookmarks inside the users bookmarks and adds new ones with a new URL (leaving the previous ones untouched)?
You actually can't change your bookmarks using javascript. The easiest way to do that is to change the bookmark file manually
The Chrome one for example is located here:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks
