[Feature Request] Importing of exporteted csv rules #746

Closed Nonie689 closed 2 years ago

Nonie689 commented 2 years ago

Importing of exporteted csv rules that I have outputed would be a nice thing.via

via menu and via command line tool....

ok :+1: it was requested some time ago here #324 Closing as duplicated.

Please consider re-opening this, because the current situation is deceptive, in that the current opensnitch GUI prominently offers a 'rules-save' option in csv format, which leads the user to believe that there will elsewhere be a parallel 'rules-load' option. However, the guidance in #324 is that the only way to perform a save/load is to manually transfer the contents of /etc/opensnitchd.

In the current design, what is the purpose of having the csv-formatted save at all?

Maybe the 'rules-save' button on the menu bar could perform a tar.gz of the /etc/opensnitchd, and there could be elsewhere a parallel option?

I'll work on this feature in the following days/weeks @Boruch-Baum :+1:

Thanks. Alternatively, you could just remove the csv-export button from the menu bar and either continue with the guidance how to manually work with the data, or automate tar-gz operations with the GUI.

I think that it's a positive to somewhere let users know where the raw rule data is located and that the raw data can be directly edited as text (at user's risk).

The main advantage I see in the csv export/import is that it produces a complete rules-set in a single file, which for many use-cases will be easier to compare, analyse, and edit in a user's preferred program (eg. emacs, spreadsheet).
