They don't make it easy to switch to the preview. None of my Safari settings seem to have been imported, all my bookmarks are gone and the 'import bookmarks from Firefox' doesn't work either :(
- olliej 7y agoI suspect that the basic problem is related to how the tech previews interact with things like security updates -- essentially STP ships without a full release process, and isn't updated in line with major security fixes -- which together probably warrants an STP not having the required rights to pull in access to safari preferences, and just from a reliability PoV restrict their desire to pull in other browser preferences.
- alwillis 7y agoI’ve used STP for years and never had to import bookmarks or anything like that.
- pilif 7y agoSomething is wrong with your configuration. For me, both the release version and the tech preview share settings just fine. Making changes to the one will cause them to be applied in the other.
- joosters 7y agoI found a way of importing bookmarks: Run 'normal' Safari and preview Safari at the same time, 'view bookmarks' in both, and then dragging the favorites top level across from old to new app worked!
- monkin 7y agoSimpler way is to use iCloud sync with Safari.
- joosters 7y agoI have that turned on and I still didn't get my bookmarks. Hopefully my empty bookmarks folder in Safari Preview didn't get synced across all my devices before I fixed it...
- saagarjha 7y agoiCloud sync between the two is very iffy almost always does not work, for compatibility reasons.
- nihonde 7y agoWill you see new bookmarks (or reading list items) created in STP on, say, your iphone’s mobile safari, though?
- gsnedders 7y agoCopy ~/Library/Safari to ~/Library/SafariTechnologyPreview if you're okay with overwriting existing settings of STP.
