Bulk Proxy Import

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What enhancement do you suggest?

A bulk proxy import.  I get a list of 30 proxies a week and I would like a way 
to import 30 different proxy.ip:port via text file and have them available in 
switchysharp.  Thanks! 

Do you urgently need this enhancement?
Urgency: High

Do you think this enhancement is important to the project?

Oh, really? But even if you could import them, you cannot use them all at once. 
There is not even polling or fallback support.

And the popup menu could become fairly tall with 30 profiles on it. Are you 
sure you want to do that?

Yes, I would just filter through them with the one click after import and after 
I set up the one click for them all. If 30 are too many, I can work with 15-20. 
Thanks for the quick reply.

I would not patch SwitchySharp for such uncommon use case. However, I can 
provide a small snippet like this:

(function(Settings){var p = Settings.getObject('profiles'); var t = 
p['template']; window.prompt().split(';').forEach(function(proxy) { 
p[proxy]=jQuery.extend({}, t, {id:proxy,name:proxy,proxyHttp:proxy}); }); 
Settings.setObject('profiles', p); history.go(0) 
})(chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().Settings)

To run this snippet, please press F12 on the options page. Then select the 
"Console" tab and paste the above snippet there. After you press enter, a 
little prompt window will popup. Please enter all your proxies there seperated 
by semi-colon (like 127.0.0.1:1234;127.0.0.1:5678 and so on). You may want to 
copy & paste since it would be a very long string. Press enter and your proxies 
would be there.

Please let me know if this helps.

Note: After running the snippet, please press "Save" on the options page. The 
snippet can also accept a template profile which is named "template". The name 
can be changed on the first line of the snippet to use any of your existing 
profiles as a template.

Wow, thank you so much!! I will give this a try today and let you know how it 
works!

Works great! One question though, is there a quick way to delete all profiles?  
This would be handy when I need to refresh the ips with new ones every week.

One other sidenote that would be handy.  Is there a way to have it create the 
30 profiles with a generic name and numbered 1-30 next to it.  Like say name em 
all proxy1, proxy2, proxy3, all the way to proxy30.  That way I can more easily 
recognize when I switched to a new ip.  This is not terribly important, but I 
figured I'd ask in case it was easy to integrate into the snippet.

Thanks so much!

If you want to delete or the profiles, just do an options reset or import a 
previously exported backup. A modified version of the script, which name the 
profiles like ProfileN, follows.

(function(Settings){var p = Settings.getObject('profiles'); var t = 
p['template']; var i = 0; window.prompt().split(';').forEach(function(proxy) { 
var n = "Proxy" + (++i); p[proxy]=jQuery.extend({}, t, 
{id:n,name:n,proxyHttp:proxy}); }); Settings.setObject('profiles', p); 
history.go(0) })(chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().Settings)

I'm trying to switch from Firefox to Chrome and having some way to import my 
current list of proxies is critical as I've got 75 in my list.  Thankfully the 
above code (in response #3) helped me get this done.  Thanks so much for this!

I would suggest that the ability to easily import a list of proxies is more 
common than you think.  I'd encourage you to either formally add the feature or 
switch the backup formatting from base64 to plain text so people could use that 
to "restore" a new proxy list.

Thanks so much for this functionality! I am now using 50 ips a month with this 
import tool and I do have another question.  I noticed now the main time 
consuming piece is after importing, under general tab checking "quick switch" 
and then dragging all of the 50 profiles to the top to be cycled through.  Is 
there a magic snippet that will accomplish this or a way to add all profiles to 
the "cycled profiles" list?

Thanks!

Here we go:

(function (Settings) { var profiles = Settings.getObject('profiles'), list = 
[]; for (var p in profiles) { list.push(profiles[p].id); } 
Settings.setObject('quickSwitchProfiles', list); history.go(0); 
})(chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().Settings)

The script above adds all profiles to the cycled profiles list.

Personally I don't love magic. However, adding batch import functionality will 
end up adding batch operations for everything as shown in reply #9. So for 
@henderpa, no, I will not formally add the feature.

A new backup format based on JSON is already implemented in version 2.0, which 
is still in its alpha stage now. You can try it now if you like. But please be 
aware that all the magic snippets are for version 1.x only and will not 
continue to work after the upgrade.
