Migrating bookmarks bar content?

How do you migrate your customized bookmarks bar content from one Opera 11.52 install to another bookmarks bar on a different computer? Manually copying the bookmarks.adr file over did not do it - only the content in the "Bookmarks Toolbar Folder" (left over from an earlier version of Opera) was put on the bookmarks bar, all the others (which is most of them) were missing. Tried Opera Link, all it did was mess up the order of the entries in my bookmark bar on the first computer. Help appreciated - I have lots of entries in the bookmarks bar I use all the time.

The data is stored in the bookmarks.adr file. Whether to show a bookmark on the Bookmarks bar or not is saved in the bookmarks property in the bookmarks.adr file.

Check the location of the bookmarks folder in opera:config

Well thanks, I repeated my initial copying of the bookmarks file from the original to the new installation and this time it did copy over all the bookmark tool bookmarks.
