feature request: easily move pattern from one proxy to the other

[nvalexander]

I think that it would be great if a dropdown would be added to each pattern row, allowing uses to move them to a different proxy. Its place should at the end of the row. To make room for this dropdown, the Quick Add dropdown could be removed from the start of the column. As is, chosing something from the QuickAdd dropdown overwrites your well-thought pattern, without confirmation and with a counterintuitive ways to undo the change.

Let's see if there is a popular demand for such a feature. There is a pattern import/export feature but that applies to all patterns under a proxy.

Confirmation can be annoying, if every action results in a modal popup asking "Are you sure you want to do that?", which then has to be clicked to continue.

Editing & importing are non-destructive. Save must be clicked to apply changes.

For now, the following script can be used to move a pattern from one proxy to another.

• Read FoxyProxy Help: Bulk Edit on how to paste the script
• Set the values under the user settings

(() => {
  // ----- move pattern from one proxy to another
  // user settings
  const fromProxy = 1;                                      // move from the 1st proxy
  const patternIndex = 1;                                   // move the 1st pattern
  const toProxy = 3;                                        // move to the 3rd proxy
  // end of user settings

  const pattern = document.querySelector(`details.proxy:nth-of-type(${fromProxy}) .pattern-row:nth-of-type(${patternIndex})`);
  if (!pattern) { return; }

  const target = document.querySelector(`details.proxy:nth-of-type(${toProxy}) .pattern-box`);
  if (!target) { return; }

  target.appendChild(pattern);
})();

I am not terribly pressed by the number of patterns that need to be moved. I just find it counterintuitive to have tens of dropboxes that, at best, are useless, and in the worst case scenario may be destructive, by overwriting a pattern that I already picked.
