FR: UI: Prefill text field with instructions for importing from OneTab and JSON #407

Open joesh opened 2 years ago

The current UI made me think I was only being given the option to import a file. This is because the IMPORT FROM FILE button is active while the IMPORT (COMPATIBLE WITH ONETAB) and IMPORT FROM JSON buttons are disabled.

I didn’t realize there was a text field until I went to the Export section of OneTab and discovered that it gave a block of text to copy rather than exporting to a file.

I suggest preloading the text field with a short description of how to import. Something like:

To import from OneTab:

  1. Open OneTab
  2. Click on “Export / Import URLs”
  3. Select All and Copy the Export URLs
  4. Paste them into this text box
  5. Press the IMPORT FROM ONETAB button above

And something similar for JSON

I also suggest renaming the IMPORT (COMPATIBLE WITH ONETAB) button to IMPORT FROM ONETAB. While the former is slightly more technically correct, it’s very much less clear to non-coding humans.
