URL Manager Pro 6.0
Alco Blom has released version 6.0 of URL Manager Pro, adding support for macOS 13 Ventura and new browsers like Waterfox. The independent bookmark management utility also provides a new browser toolbar that speeds interaction with your installed Web browsers, lets you change your preferred Web browser in the app, and adds new sorting options. ($34.99 new, free update, 22.1 MB, release notes, macOS 10.13+)
Installed under Mac OS X 10.13.6 (High Sierra), but would not open my exisiting .urlm file. I could not figure out how to restore my bookmarks, so I reverted back to 5.9.1
The file format has not changed going from version 5.9.1 to 6.0. The only condition is that it should have the .urlm extension.
Did you get any error message?
My discussion group did not mention any problems yet.
Thanks,
Alco Blom

Hello Garth,
It is now a day later and still no other user reports of what you are seeing. I find it so strange… Could you try the following for me :
a) double click the document “Garth_All_URLmgr.urlm” in the Finder
b) if that does not work, restart your Mac
Thank you so much,
Alco Blom
Hello Alco,
Apologies for the delay - I was waiting for a reply and was not aware that I needed to go to this site…
I notice that my earlier “Tried the following steps:…” reply got truncated - I believe it had 14 or more items in it; apparently there is some length limit.
What I have done this evening:
results in Alert: “Garth_ALL_URLmgr.urlm” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.", see screenshot.
