I tried moving the described folder from a W-7 os pc to a new pc with W-10  os; it did no work. When I reinstalled the TO app to Chrome the prior few tabs that I had opened in Chrome when I first installed TO in Chrome reappeared in TO after I reinstalled it. Too bad! 

I'm going to try loading the tab outliner content (putting each group of TO node links into a separate folder on the W-7 Chrome bookmarks bar until I have all of them , and then exporting the bookmarks content to the W-10 pc. 

On the W-10 pc I have already tried opening a Chrome bookmarks bar folder with several website links in it as new tabs. they then appear as new entries in the new TO app. I will however have to rearrange them under a TO node with an appropriate name. It is some manual work, but I think it will work.
