I can't seem to get FreeTube to accept my YouTube subscriptions saved from Firefox.

The Mac used to be big on "Drag and Drop," which, of course, I tried, multiple times, to no avail.

How, exactly, does one get FreeTube to accept the downloaded files?

[absidue]

@gdwaynewarner Have you tried clicking on the button and then selecting the files withe file picker that shows up, instead of dragging and dropping?

[gdwaynewarner]

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that.

That is, I don't know how to bring up the File Picker.

[absidue]

@gdwaynewarner Open FreeTube's settings page, open the "Data Settings" section and click on the "Import Subscriptions" button.

[gdwaynewarner]

I did that. It would not let me click the file I need to import (watch-history.html).

[gdwaynewarner]

If it helps any, that file is about 50 megabytes in size.
