Well, bigbone, merging two sets of bookmarks, which may each have a long story but may have lived half-way together for a while, is always a bit complicated.  Kind of like when two forty-year old people, each with a house full of stuff, get married.

BookMacster breaks it in to two steps (combine, delete dupes) so that you can have a look at it half way through.  Together with BookMacster's capability to Undo each step, we feel that this is much better than, say what happens when you click OK to the Merge? question after switching on Safari bookmarks syncing in iCloud.  Apple gives you only a vague explanation of what will happen (for example, no explanation of what happens to duplicates), and once you do it, there is no way to go back.

The gory details are explained in the Help Book, but you don't really need to go there…

Although most bookmarks managers do this important step with one click, BookMacster requires several steps.  The advantage is that you can understand and control what's going to happen.

• Choose Overlay, so that nothing will be deleted.
• After the import is complete, then click in the menu: Bookmarkskhelf[i] > [i]Find Duplicates.
• Look at the report and decide if you want to delete the duplicates manually, so you can control which one gets deleted, or if there are are too many click Delete All.

If at any point the results are not what you wanted, Edit > Undo.

It still works for me, bigbone.  Please watch this screencast and let me know if there is any part which does not work for you.

Is there a way to import bookmarks from the app URL Manager Pro? Direct import is not possible. Nor does it work to export the bookmarks as an html or an XBEL file and the import that into Bookmacster (latest version).

OS X 10.7.5

Thanks for any hints!
