Can anyone help me successfully run this code?

Do you really mean "C:\Users\User\Desktop" or do you mean the desktop for the current user? If the latter, you can ask windows for the current user's %HOMEPATH%. This program lists all the files on your desktop.

import os
from pathlib import Path

desktop = Path(os.environ["USERPROFILE"]) / "Desktop"
print(*desktop.iterdir(), sep="\n")

To get paths for Desktop\tabs.json and Desktop\tabs_oldercopywithalternatelinks.json:

work_files = desktop / "the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4"
tabs_path = work_files / "tabs.json"
tabs_copy_path = work_files / "bs_oldercopywithalternatelinks.json" 

if the path is really hard coded (will always be C:\Users\User\Desktop\the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4), use a string. I suggest changing the "\" to "/" so Python doesn't interpret "\the" as "<tab>he".

from pathlib import Path

work_files = Path("C:/Users/User/Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4")
tabs_path = work_files / "tabs.json"
tabs_copy_path = work_files / "bs_oldercopywithalternatelinks.json"

I chose the third code excerpt, as it's exactly what I need! ^_^ Just one more question: Where exactly do I put the third code excerpt into the main code?

# Now give path to file rand.json
(suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env
λ restore-the-great-suspender-urls --in-file=C:/Users/Tom/Desktop/rand.json --out-file=C:/Users/Tom/Desktop/jsontabs-restored.json

As i shown before in you give Path to files.

restore-the-great-suspender-urls --in-file=C:/Users/User/Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs.json --out-file=C:/Users/User\Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs_new.json

I would have navigate in command line(cd) to C:/Users/User/Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4.
Then you just need to use file names.

restore-the-great-suspender-urls --in-file=tabs.json --out-file=tabs_new.json

OK, I'm gonna try the whole thing again. :-) Hopefully, it'll FINALLY work...but if anything still goes wrong, I'll be sure to let you know. :-)

~~~

P.S.: Forgot to ask earlier: Do I need to type the command like this:

(suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env
λ restore-the-great-suspender-urls --in-file=C:/Users/User/Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs.json --out-file=C:/Users/User\Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs_restored.json

(suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env
restore-the-great-suspender-urls --in-file=C:/Users/User/Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs_oldercopywithalternatelinks.json --out-file=C:/Users/User\Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs_oldercopywithalternatelinks_restored.json

Or this?

(suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env
λ restore-the-great-suspender-urls --in-file=C:/Users/User/Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs.json --out-file=C:/Users/User\Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs_restored.json
restore-the-great-suspender-urls --in-file=C:/Users/User/Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs_oldercopywithalternatelinks.json --out-file=C:/Users/User\Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs_oldercopywithalternatelinks_restored.json

I do hope I haven't been frustrating you with all these questions. ^^;;

Like this.
restore-the-great-suspender-urls --in-file=C:/Users/User/Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs.json --out-file=C:/Users/User/Desktop/the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4/tabs_restored.json
You should learn to navigate on command line,here i demo in cmd i normal use cmder as it's much better.
Now i just put tabs.json on Desktop as a example,as you see when in that folder no path is needed.
If you don't use virtual environment,just forget about (suspender_env).

(suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env>c:
C:\Users\Tom>cd ..
(suspender_env) C:\Users>cd ..
(suspender_env) C:\>cd Users
(suspender_env) C:\Users>cd Tom
(suspender_env) C:\Users\Tom>cd Desktop
# now in folder where tabs.json is
(suspender_env) C:\Users\Tom\Desktop>restore-the-great-suspender-urls --in-file=tabs.json --out-file=tabs_new.json
# No errors

While I appreciate your effort, I'm afraid that wasn't really the question I asked. ^^;; I should probably rephrase it: Should I post (suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env for each tabs JSON file individually, like this?

(suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env
(File A)

(suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env
(File B)

Or should I type (suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env & post the code for both files one right after the other?

(suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env
(File A)
(File B)

You are really is confused here (suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env is just my virtual environment.
I do test stuff out isolated,do you understand this?

If i install normal like you probably do from cmd.

I'd much rather stick with Python, if you please. :-) And this is the address of my folder with my two JSON tabs files, which I have made the path for my computer's virtual environment: C:\Users\User\Desktop\the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4 . In that case, what exactly should I type instead of your (suspender_env) G:\div_code\suspender_env?

[snippsat]

I'd much rather stick with Python, if you please. :-)

It's all Python that posted here just that you confused about it,my last post just install and use it without a virtual environment.

If you make a virtual environment as i do in post 6 ,you call it the same as me suspender_env or whatever you want.
when activate a environment it will have (suspender_env) first this is just to show that it activated.
Then can use restore-the-great-suspender-urls from any folder,
If you use virtual environment it will look like this (your environment name)C:\Users\User\Desktop\the-great-suspender-restore-urls-0.4

If all this is confusing just to as do in post #16 without a virtual environment.
Try to step back and understand this,the virtual environment was not needed at all here all,
just that test a lot here on Forum and like to it isolated to make sure stuff work for Users.

All is ok.
Now can give path or simpler just put .json files in folder G:\div_code\suspender_env then no path is needed.
Navigate works like with c: and cd if want go eg desktop.

G:\div_code\suspender_env

# No error ok

So now i this navigate demo i have a tabs.json in Destop folder,
then no Path is needed,same for all just navigate to folder where .json files are,or just move the files to suspender_env folder.
