White/Blacklist synchronisation over google account

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

It would be very cool if its possible to synchronize the settings and 
especially the black- and whitelist with the synchronization mechanism in 
google chrome.

I configured today my new laptop and found the synchronization quite handy, I 
know its possible to export and import the lists, but aren't we all a bit lazy? 
;)

I took at stab at this and ran into two blockages:

1) the bookmark syncing method is limited to 4096 bytes (so what I did was try 
to split the exported settings into multiple bookmarks
2) there is a rate limit of 2 writes every 10 minutes

There was some news that Chrome would have this feature built-in, where the 
settings of installed extensions, not only the extensions themselves, would be 
synced across all computers. So maybe let's wait and see :)

I'll definitely be excited if/when Google enables extension setting sync, but 
in the meantime, can I locate the settings in a file (e.g. skip export/import), 
and synchronize ScriptNo config file(s) using a 3rd-party service like 
SpiderOak (spideroak.com)

Chrom{e,uim} 20+ has extension data synchronization support using 
chrome.storage.sync.

Any update on this issue?

Please try v1.0.6.3 and let me know! It works fine for me through my testing, 
but I'd love to hear feedback.

Hey Andrew,

I did a quick check with my home PC and the two at work. Works well. Thanks!

Thanks; seems like we're keeping each other company in being people who work 
over the holidays! I'll be focusing on building in additional checks in 
v1.0.6.4 regarding syncing to ensure reliability, but thanks for the testing!

Lost my entire whitelist after upgrading from 1.0.6.3 to 1.0.6.5. I make a 
change on one machine (PC) and it does not appear on another (Mac) even after 
using force sync to/from buttons in options.

I too have lost my whitelist after the upgrade. Any way to recover this? I went 
from the ScriptNo to ScriptSafe auto update.

Please update to v1.0.6.8 which includes a restore process and I hope it works 
well for you (please reply to let me know!)

My sincere apologies for this bug introduced in v1.0.6.4.

Thanks for the quick response. This fixed my problem and I have my whitelist 
back!

Any way to restore the whitelist? mine is completely empty now, i dont know 
when it vanished though.
I noticed this morning that scriptsafe was disabled and many options was 
unchecked.
Using ScriptSafe v1.0.6.9

With the latest couple of versions (presently running 1.0.6.9) it is now 
impossible to get downloads through Sourceforge mirrors to work, even when both 
Sourceforge domain and the mirror domain are whitelisted (I was trying to 
download the latest Classic Shell from http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/). 
The download countdown keeps cycling down to zero and then starts again from 
five without ever starting the download. If I disable Scriptsafe then the 
downloads will work. With previous ScriptNo this problem didn't happen.

Hey Andrew,

same problem over here.

My complete whitelist was lost. After the update to 1.6.8 (I guess) the icon in 
the toolbar turned to always grey and my settings where completely messed up. I 
did a sync FROM my google account and my settings are restored again. But 
somehow the blacklisted sites were listed under whitelist and the content of 
the blacklist was just 'undefined' (null?)

I did an export of my settings and saw that there were still my original 
white/black-list entires but under the keys: blackList_0 and whiteList_0. The 
values for blackList and whiteList are ["undefined"] and [].

I removed the '_0' and deleted the empty entries. After a import of the 
settings I got my correct lists working again.

I'm not sure if the '_0' values something like a backup, but after this 
problem, which seems to caused by the update process. I guess it would be a 
good idea that ScriptSafe does an automatically backup at the beginning of the 
update process.

I'm currently not able to test it with my other clients. No work today :)

Happy new year Andrew and everyone.
Keep up your good work!

New sync in 1.0.6.10 is broken. :(  After sync Black list is replacing white 
list.  Goog thing I backed up my prefs!  This is despite using "Sync TO google 
account" with correct settings.  (syncing from and to 2 macs)

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Here is what I got after automatic sync: white list becomes the black list.  
The two most recently added white list sites are also on the white list after 
sync.  The first time I saw this the black list contained only one entry; 
"Undefined".

Hi everyone, the whitelist/blacklist syncing issues should be fixed in 
v1.0.6.11, which also has a process on the Options page to try to restore your 
deleted whitelist/blacklist (but it might not work in every case).

My apologies for any inconvenience caused, and let me know if v1.0.6.11 fixes 
this for you!

Hi, sorry but no go... after the popup about restoring whitelist, both the 
blacklist and whitelist are now blank.
But it's ok, i will just start over.
Thanks for trying.

I had the same issue as comment 25. In addition, when I try to sync settings to 
my Google account, I get the following error in a popup:

"QUOTA_BYTES_PER_ITEM quota exceeded"

Thanks for all the hard work!

I'm having the same issue as Comment 26. The popup is kind of annoying and 
could contain more useful diagnostic information, so that users can actually do 
something with it, instead of just being annoyed by it.

I am a bit confused. I am using the same google account in Chrome on all of my 
computers. Some computer are Windows and some Macs. I am not getting sync 
across the two OS. Is this normal?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I successfully synced between my Mac and PC here at work. 
This morning I was forced to reinstall ScriptSafe and restart Chrome because 
ScriptSafes's settings side didn't work and the block/allow popup had no 
buttons at all.
Thus in general the OS border crossing should be fine.
