Option to disable the warning when using RegExp replace #8

Open alphaniner opened 1 year ago

Every time a regex replacement is done, a warning (Attention! This operation replaces ...) is shown. It would be nice if there was a "Don't show me this again" option or some other way to prevent it from appearing.

That should certainly be doable.

But I'm interested, how often do you use the extension if that feels like an annoyance? I kinda meant the extension to be a one-and-done type of thing where you install it to update some bookmarks and then remove it altogether. Is updating bunch of bookmarks something you need to do often?

Thanks for the response.

I wouldn't call it an annoyance, just an inconvenience. I use the extension repeatedly with a few sites where I create a lot of bookmarks and want to remove extraneous information from bookmark names. Because I have FF configured for an unusually large text size (vision issues) long bookmark names take up a lot of space horizontally. Removing invariant information like the site name makes things a bit more manageable when actually accessing the bookmarks, especially in the case of nested bookmark folders.

There's probably a way to automate this during bookmark creation, but I haven't figured it out as of yet.
