Import function not working as expected (minor issue) #24

Hi @AndryOre

I love this extension and can't wait to see the new automatic export feature, but there is one thing that drives me crazy and that is the import function. Not that I use it much, but when I do, it always leaves me shaking my head.

I only use the bookmarks bar to organize my bookmarks (~950) in a folder structure that has been built up over years. I do not use " Other Bookmarks" or any custom structure.

My problem is that the import function does not replace/overwrite the existing bookmarks in my bookmarks bar, but creates another "Bookmarks Bar" folder under " Other Bookmarks". To fix this, I have to delete all the original bookmarks in my bookmarks bar and then move the imported bookmarks from "Other Bookmarks/Bookmarks Bar" to the default bookmarks bar using the bookmarks manager.

I would expect the import function to restore my bookmarks to their original location, not to a subfolder of "Other Bookmarks". It works as expected when I import the HTML file directly using the bookmark manager. I wouldn't mind having to confirm the deletion/overwriting of my original bookmarks or having to tick a box in some settings to confirm it permanently.

Apart from this annoying detail, I think the extension is one of the best out there at the moment. It simply does what it is supposed to do without too many bells and whistles or unnecessary extras.

Cheers
