Import Following List doesn't seem to work.
I followed your directions: I created a Following List on my computer at work, exported it as a text file, emailed it to myself and imported it on my home computer. At this point, nothing happened. At the home computer, I selected Import Following List and selected the text file (ooking.txt) which I saved to my hard drive. After doing this, there is still not a Following List on Ookong at my home computer. Am I doing something wrong?

I have found it is caused by a special character "ç" in the book title "Chocolate French: Recipes, Language, and Directions to Français au Chocolate".
I realize the current import function only supports standard English characters. To work around it, I remove this character and successfully import your list to my Firefox.
You may see the same problem if your list contains "Garmin nüvi GPS" because of ü.
I have emailed you the fixed version of your list. Please try out in your Firefox.
Thank you for your feedback. I’ll fix the bug in the future version.

Inappropriate?I cannot get import/export working AT ALL. Please provide clearer directions--how does export recognize my Amazon list, to start with???? -
Inappropriate?Currently, Ookong Firefox addon does not support "importing Amazon wish list". It has been discussed in http://getsatisfaction.com/ookong/top...
"Export/Import following list" feature is to sync the tracked items from one computer to another computer.

I am totally confused. This add on is supposed to allow me to see price changes on my Amazon Wish List but I cannot find ANY way to get the add-on to RECOGNIZE my amazon wish list which I have confirmed is on the amazon site and is, in fact, quite large. Does this add-on do ANYTHING useful? I can't figure it out (and I'm far from a novice computer user!) -
Not price changes in your Amazon wish list. You can get price drop notification for items in the Following List of your Ookong Firefox addon. Ookong is integrated into Amazon, so it is very easy to add items. For example, go to
http://www.amazon.com/o/asin/B0015F1L7A, you will see a "Follow this item" button like the following one. Click the button and the item will be in your Following List.
