Well, it has happened in the past that, on occasion, Safari would crash it you were editing its bookmarks at the same time as you did an Export, but recent versions of BookMacster have included measures to prevent that, and I've not seen it happen since.  Common sense says that if two actors try are trying to change the same thing (Safari bookmarks) at the same time, trouble is possible.  But I've never seen it happen with an Import, and indeed that may be some other problem.

Sometimes you have to close windows in Safari to startle it into reading the changes exported from BookMacster.

I don't think that would have had any effect.

That switches off your Agent, so that automatic operations such as syncing and sorting will not occur.  With no Agents checked, BookMacster only operates manually.  It should be OK to leave an Agent on, however, because before an Agent does anything, it checks to see if BookMacster is running to avoid conflicts.  If BookMacster is inactive, it commands BookMacster to do the work.  If you are actively editing that Bookmarkshelf, it aborts the work.

You might want to launch BookMacster and click in the menu File ▸ Active Agents.  Make sure that you don't have any other Bookmarkshelf documents with Active Agents.

Let us know if you have any more trouble.

It seems to work fine for me, Pete.  Please watch this little screencast; maybe you can see what we're doing differently.  Sorry the microphone volume was too low so you'll need to turn it up loud to hear.

I also tried it with "Default Settings" instead of "Your Settings" and that worked too.

Well, what you've written would indeed do nothing if those Safari bookmarks were the only thing in the Bookmarkshelf.  Maybe you omitted the "Sort" step.  But anyhow, this should work too.

Let me know if my reproduction is not what you were trying to do.
