Import/Export Settings Buttons #132

Closed ThomasHineXYZ closed 9 months ago

ThomasHineXYZ commented 1 year ago

I like to sync my list of extensions and their accompanying settings information (JSON file or text data) using a git repo.

Can we add a set of buttons to import and export settings for this extension? Whether copying and pasting text data or saving/loading a JSON file. Either one would be amazing.

The main issue that came to this thinking, was that Augmented Steam had the option to replace the Install Steam button with an Open in Client button. However, your extension had the Hide "Install Steam" button in header option enabled by default. I admit it took me too long to think to check the SteamDB for this option, but it didn't dawn on me.

Realistically it should use synced storage for settings: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage/sync

@xPaw But what about browsers that aren't based on Firefox? Or if someone is using multiple browsers throughout the day?

xPaw commented 1 year ago

Firefox supports sync too. Manual export/import isn't worth the effort when all the settings boil down to just some checkboxes, it makes more sense when there's some custom stuff you can enter.

Basically all major browsers supports a synced storage API. Adding a way to import/export your settings could be useful, but it may not be worth implementing it as @xPaw said.

The settings are stored in settings.sync for couple months now
