Hi,

Regarding MySword bookmarks, it is actually designed to be a short list that is why the list is just saved into one record one field in the bookmarks table inside the bookmarks.mybible SQLite database.

To convert the e-Sword *.lstx verse list file, please follow these steps:
Open the *.lstx file in an SQLite Manager (for example Firefox plugin)
Execute the following SQL in the Execute SQL script something tab/window:
SELECT group_concat(book||'.'||chapter||'.'||verse)
FROM verses ORDER BY position
Copy the single row result cell into clipboard
Open bookmarks.mybible in the SQLite Manager
Go to bookmarks table and show/edit records
There should be one record showing Default as the bgroup (available in the Free version). Edit that and paste the clipboard data into verses
Now you can copy back the bookmarks.mybible back to MySword
Note that the bookmarks design of MySword is not a permanent list just like in e-Sword and The Word but is normally used as a moving bookmark. For permanency, you will have to create a Journal entry of related verse links.

God Bless,
