Private Key Import is expecting a file with a JSON string but Metamask only produces a simple hex string in the file it exports #1

I'm using Metamask to export my private key. It exports it as a simple hex string of characters - not a JSON structure.

The Wallet expects a JSON formatted private key.

Can you add support for the Metamask formatted private key?

HACK: as QnD workaround, I made the following change to LoadPrivateKey() and it worked:

// var privateKey = service.DecryptKeyStoreFromJson(Password, json).ToHex(); string privateKey = json; // HACK: works for Metamask exported private keys

Hmmm when you export a private key from metamask you get the private key. Not the KeyStore file.
