How do I import bookmarks from Google Chrome into Safari 5?

I had Chrome bookmark bar and bookmark folders set up the way I wanted them, and now I would like to import those into Safari. I followed someone's suggestion of simply dragging the bookmark file into Safari but that doesn't do what I want. I want me Chrome bookmark bar to become my Safari bookmark bar and my Chrome bookmark folders to become my Safari bookmark folders. So far there seems to be no way to do this.

I did this myself recently. Here's how I did it.

In Chrome click the "Spanner" Icon>>Bookmarks Manager>>Organise>>Export Bookmarks. Navigate to a location, name the file and click Save.

In Safari click File>>Import Bookmarks. Navigate to file you just saved and click Open.

You can then edit/move your bookmarks to where you require them within Safari Bookmarks e.g. from Bookmarks Menu to Bookmarks Bar.

Hope this helps.

How exactly? See my other thread - I have say 100 bookmarks in my Chrome bookmarks bar. How do I get those into my Safari bookmark bar?
