When you are finished editing anything with the file in SQLite, change back the file extension to nothing. You have to: -Rename "History" file to "History.db" -When you finish, rename "History.db" back to "History".

SQLlite does not show any error message, it simply opens nothing. So, if you want to read this tutorial in parallel to your tweaking activities, you have to open it in any other browser. - I use the "SRWare Iron" browser (see www.browserchoice.eu), it is a chrome with the "sending statistics, calling home etc. stripped off. The path to the history file is slightly different, there is no "google" in it, you'll find it quite easily (e.g. for WinXP C:documents and settingslocal settingsAppDataChromiumUser DataDefault). There is no "starred_id" column, nevertheles the tutorial works the same. - QUESTION:  ========== can anybody advice me how to get to files with the favicon pictures? I want to put favicons I've painted by myself onto some bookmarks.Thanks again and goodbye, BeWay Great job Rob, since I’m an icon freak this tutorial really makes me happy!

To add, just drag it there. To remove is easy, but hard to see how. To remove, just drag the icon to the right until it fades off. Then click on the little arrows that point to "more." From there, you can just right mouse click or option click and they go away "poof!" Very easy but very dumb how it is so secret. btw, I would have posted this in the main thread here with Disqus but I could not see how to do THAT. so more help there is welcome to me.

However, I don't know if you noticed I wrote that request 2 years ago. I gave up on Chrome and I gave up on changing the icons a long time ago. I don't even have the same computer. I am sure it will probably help someone else though... I hope. Thanks again. N8 Thanks for the response. However, I don’t know if you noticed I wrote that request 2 years ago.

Browse the "name" column to find the url of the bookmark you want to display the favicon. Make note of the value it has at the "url_id" column. Then change to the "urls" table and look that value in the first column ("id"). It should be easy, because rows (lines) are sorted by this column ("id"). If you don't find the id in the first page (1-1000), you will need to look it up in the next pages. To move other pages you just have to click the bottom button "Go to the next record set page". Once you find it you can skip step 9 and proceed to modify the favicon_id as in step 10. You can find faster the favicon id (step 8) if you, before open the "History" file (step 4), open the "favicons" file, in the same folder. There you have to select the favicons table from the Table drop-down. All the rows you will find there are favicons, and the "id" column tells you the number you want to change in the Edit Database Cell Window of step 10. Good Luck!
