So do I !
But as WR is using scrapbook engine, I was wondering if it was possible to transfer “easily” all infos from scrapbook to WR…
I know it’s not yes Christmas, but…
Have you any hint on this subject ?

Nope, haven’t found a quick, clean way to import scrapbook data into WR while preserving scrapbook’s folder tree structure.
I guess you already tried importing:
“Import” (File—> Import in the menu) and then choosing “Multiple Files or Entire Folders”. In the import wizard navigate to your scrapbook folder location and import the data subfolders. (Didn’t work too well for me, though; the import wizard froze on me.) If importing does work for you, you’d be left with sorting all your imported webpages into folders in WR…
I guess we could email support at support@macropool.com ? I would have emailed them by now if I weren’t too busy CRIMPing :)

I tried, but it didn’t work so good. It import ALL the files that are in the folder as if they where different items, but do not create one entry as it is in Scrapbook.

I understand…Doctors said I was almost cured, but then I read Daly’s review about the different softwares he knows…and boom ! Big relapse :)
I did send a message to the support ;)
I’m waiting for their reply. I’ll tell you if they give us a good nice funny trick !
Let see !...and hope.

Hi,
About importing Scrapbook entries in WR.
For the moment (I receveid a mail from macropool support) it seems that there is no “Converting Scrapbook database to WR Collection” tool.
Anyway a way to import from scrapbook to WR can be this one :
1. Make a search in the “data” folder of scrabook for ALL “index.html” files located in the subfolders.
2. Select them all.
3. Drag’n Drop them into WR (perhaps it could be wise to not drag’n drop all the files at once…)
4.

4. Then organize the previously imported files in WR
It seems to be the less bad way to do…for the moment.
Sincerly,
