Hi, currently you can import and export substitution lists from the main
options window. Isn't this sufficient? Why?
As I have understood your suggestion, it looks like duplicated functionality,
but maybe I haven't fully understood the issue.

hello!
yes there is an import feature... but the file format is either .json or . xml
(which i have no idea how to use)
i went through the docuumentation -> chrome://foxreplace/content/help.xhtml
and didn't find how to use the import and assumed the requested feature didn't
exist...
is it possible that you explain how to format a file for import?
i am thinking a csv file would be easiest for the average user?
THANK YOU!

You can find general documentation on JSON here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JSON . But to see the structure of the
JSON format used in FoxReplace you have the define a few substitutions, export,
and then take a look at the resulting file.
Maybe a CSV-based format would be easier for average users, but the problem I
see with it is that it is too simple to represent the complexity of the data I
need to store. See that it's not only input and output values, but also
substitution settings (input type, match case), a list of URLs and a list of
substitutions for each group, group settings (HTML), and a list of groups.
Maybe this could be represented in CSV in some manner, but in the long run it
is unmantainable.
