# Arc Pinned Tabs to HTML Bookmarks Converter
## Overview
This project provides a script for converting pinned tabs in the **Arc Browser** to a standard HTML bookmarks file. These bookmarks can then be imported into any web browser.
This addresses the lack of a pinned tabs export feature in Arc Browser.
## Requirements
- Python 3.x
- Arc Browser installed
## Installation
1. Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/iamfitsum/arc-export-windows.git`
2. Navigate to the project folder: `cd arc-export-windows`
or download using `curl`:
```sh
curl -o main.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iamfitsum/arc-export-windows/main/main.py
```
## Usage
### Finding `StorableSidebar.json` in Windows
1. Enable "Show hidden files" by clicking **View** on the top navigation bar of the File Explorer, then clicking on **Show** and checking the **Hidden items**.
2. Navigate to `C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Packages\TheBrowserCompany.Arc_ttt1ap7aakyb4\LocalCache\Local\Arc`.
3. Copy the `StorableSidebar.json` file to the directory where you placed `main.py` (i.e., the cloned project folder or the folder where you downloaded `main.py`).
Then, run the `main.py` script from the command line:
```sh
python3 main.py
# or if there is an error:
python main.py
```
## How It Works
1. **Read JSON**: Reads the `StorableSidebar.json` file from the current directory.
2. **Convert Data**: Converts the JSON data into a hierarchical bookmarks dictionary.
3. **Generate HTML**: Transforms the bookmarks dictionary into an HTML file.
4. **Write HTML**: Saves the HTML file with a timestamp, allowing it to be imported into any web browser.
