import account data - not working for me

Hi,

i have exported account data (different types of bookmarks sites) from one project to an external file. I see URLs and login data there. Then i import those account data from this file to another project (tools-import-account data).

Now i thought GSA will post to those sites - login with an existing account data and post. But it starts to register new accounts instead. I have even checked the application data/GSA folder, i see my bookmarks sites in .targets file, but without logins and passwords, just URLs!

Am i doing something wrong or this feature is not working?

Thanks

Thanks

    I am either doing something wrong or this feature is not working.

    Am i doing it correctly? I choose export-account data from one project to an external file (accounts of social bookmarking site of different types). Then import-account data on other project. Program says 40 sites imported. I disable all search engines, check Use URLs from global site list. Then i check all Social Bookmarks and start with submitting. Existing account data from external file are not used, GSA is still trying to register new accounts on those sites :-(

    Help!
    thanx :)

    why don't you import accounts from another project. The program than asked you if you want to import the urls as well fromt hese accounts. Clear target url history and it should be all fine.

    Yes, import from another project does work.

    However, i am using GSA on two machines and i would like synchronize accounts with export/import to external file. Why is this feature there anyway if it doesnt work? Could you please make it work the same way as "import from another project"? It would be VERY useful, mostly for for social bookmarks, microblogs etc.

    thanks!

    Well noone said this should not work, I just thought it would be a better way to do it but I see now what your problem is here and actually I found the problem right now. Next version fixes this.
