Import Bookmarks from Chrome to Chromium



I just upgraded my Ubuntu from version 14.04 to 16.04. And to my surprise I learnt that chrome 32- bit has been discontinued on the latest version of Ubuntu. Thus, I had to resort to Chromium browser for it's similar look and functionality. (My laptop's H/W is x86, i686).

At the start, I couldn't import my saved bookmarks by signing to my gmail account the way I used to do earlier on newly installed Chrome.

Thus, I used these steps that served my purpose. Follow below instructions to import Bookmarks on Chromium :


1. Open a Chrome browser and click on Wrench button on right upper side of Chrome browser
 
    (May be you would have to switch to your different OS where Chrome is installed, in my case I            have dual boot with Windows 10, where I performed these steps)

2. Click on Bookmarks -> Bookmark manager
    or just type "chrome://bookmarks/#1" on the address bar of chrome

3. Click on "Organize" and select "Export bookmarks to HTML file..."
     
4. Save the HTML file to appropriate place ( I saved it in my USB).


- Now open your Chromium browser(probably on different OS -  I did it on Ubuntu 16.04)

- Click on Bookmarks -> Import bookmarks and settings...
  or just type  "chrome://settings/importData" on the address bar of chromium

- Choose "Bookmarks HTML file" from drop-down menu and "choose file" from where you had    saved HTML bookmark file from Chrome.


AND YOU ARE DONE, CHEERS !!


Note :
The wrench button is now the "Chrome menu" button (3 horizontal lines)
Or follow this link:
chrome://chrome/settings/

Spring Cloud vs AWS/GCP/Azure Cloud - In the realm of Distributed Systems Development

The Scalability and High-Availability have become defacto standards for Distributed Systems development. The traditional applications are moving fast from the On-Prem model to the Cloud. With such requirements, it has become imperative to build an application with robust APIs or Cloud Services having fault-tolerant and graceful fallback functionality. Spring framework has emerged as a full-fledged, robust, feature-rich and mature ecosystem over time. It has been equipped with lots of features for rapid development. Spring Boot dominates the Cloud Native Software development. With the introduction of Spring Boot, the Microservices development has catapulted to a whole new level as it brings all sorts of dependencies in one place. Spring Cloud is an umbrella project under the Spring ecosystem. It consists of many sub-projects to build a robust distributed system. It was primarily developed by Netflix and open-sourced as part of Netflix OSS to create resilient, fault-tolerant and s...

Create the Vsix package from a class library

A project that was created as a class library that contains numerous controls that can be used in windows forms applications. In order to create an installation package (*.vsix) that will embed these controls into the visual studio toolbox window. The controls are visible in the toolbox window when being in the solution that has this project within itself. I have created a vsix project and referenced the component project's dll as a Microsoft.VisualStudio.Assembly asset. The VS2017 build process creates the vsix file that I need. When I run it on a system with a fresh VS installation, it goes through the install process with no problems, but the components don't show up in the toolbox. When I try to register the asset as a Microsoft.VisualStudio.ToolboxControl, I get the error 'The target "PkgdefProjectOutputGroup" does not exist in the project.  To reslolve the below error which comes while adding reference of DLL application to VSIX project for Visual ...
