I have onfolio collections that I would love to import to zotero (onfolio dropped its citation capabilities when microsoft bought it : (

Same for me. I've been using the Pre-Microsoft version of Onfolio for a couple of years now and love it. But since Microsoft ruined Onfolio and the pre-MS version is no longer supported, I need to move over to another program of similar or greater power and usefulness. Zotero looks like it could be the one. If I could import my Onfolio collections (about 11GB worth) into Zotero it would be a big help.

A few years ago I implemented Onfolio as a tool for editors for a metadata project where I work. I used the tool Dan refers to (cfs2xml.exe, see: http://www.onfolio.com/support/kb/okb128.cfm) and wrote XSL to produce RDF.

It probably requires some moderate XSL/T experience. No idea how you would transfer "captured" pages from Onfolio to Zotero. The cfs2xml utility has a "-sd" option that will at least dump the files. Onfolio notes are embedded in the xml.

Simple sample:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cfsdata title="myOnfolioStuff">
<folder collectionid="d598d4e9-ced6-4897-8602-eb34218cdb74" id="ac1f54fc-fbd6-47ac-90e9-80cb28bb45b8" name="Folder">
<item collectionid="d598d4e9-ced6-4897-8602-eb34218cdb74" id="c7f673a9-892b-4020-89ae-59f93a8dcf8d" name="My collection" type="link">

was there any development here? I also need the same functionality but cant provide skills for the code.

I share with several commentators above the problem of needing to move from Onfolio to another web-clipping program. I'm an academic, and I used Onfolio--a wonderful program--to collect webpages containing articles, news items, etc., that pertain to my research projects. To do this I created, in Onfolio, dozens of folders, one for each general topic, and within each folder I created many subfolders, each for a sub-topic within that general topic. I then filed the webpages that interested me into one or more of those subfolders. I did this over a period of a couple of years, and by now have a very extensive collection of such webpage-filled folders and subfolders (Onfolio calls it "My Collections"). Given the orphaned fate of Onfolio--bought by Microsoft, stripped of many of its features when Microsoft made it a Windows Live plug-in, and then, recently, killed altogether--I need to move all of my painfully-collected webpages, within their folders and subfolders, to another program, whether the material resides on my hard drive (as Onfolio-collected material resided) or on the drive of the software-maker (as Furl does). It looks as if Zotero may approximate the capacities of Onfolio. Is there a way that a non-technical person such as myself could transfer his or her Onfolio "My Collections" to Zotero--or any other program? I know I'm not the only person who has this problem. Anyone who could accomplish this would be greatly appreciated by quite a few people. If anyone has any suggestions about this, could they contact me? My email is wreich@gwu.edu. Many, many thanks!
