How to import settings while using Tampermonkey?

[lakshits11]

Describe the bug

• Browser: Brave latest version
• Tampermonkey
• Nova version: 6.6.1

I am clicking on import settings but nothing happens, while when I click on export settings, it quickly exports them. But having problems importing the settings.

These are Brave problems. Everything works correctly in other browsers. Let them know if you want.

Tampermonkey does not allow you to directly edit script data, unlike Violentmonkey, for example:

Also, Brave is good at pretending to be Chrome, which prevents it from being detected and using a different import method for it.

I can suggest that you replace this piece of code yourself:

current/old

   GM_registerMenuCommand('Import settings', () => {
      let f = document.createElement('input');
      f.type = 'file';
      f.accept = 'application/JSON';
      f.style.display = 'none';
      f.addEventListener('change', function () {
            let files =   Array.from(f.files);
            console.log(files);
               return          
         if (f.files.length !== 1) return alert('file empty');
         let rdr = new FileReader();
         rdr.addEventListener('load', function () {
            try {
               GM_setValue(configStoreName, JSON.parse(rdr.result));
               alert('Settings imported');
               location.reload();
            }
            catch (err) {
               alert(`Error parsing settings\n${err.name}: ${err.message}`);
            }
         });
         rdr.addEventListener('error', error => alert('Error loading file\n' + rdr.error));
         rdr.readAsText(f.files[0]);
      });
      document.body.append(f);
      f.click();
      f.remove();
   });

new

GM_registerMenuCommand('Import settings', () => {
       if(json = JSON.parse(prompt('Enter json file context'))) {
           GM_setValue(configStoreName, json);
           alert('Settings imported');
           location.reload();
       } else alert('Import failed');
   });

Well I used violentmonkey and was able to import the settings.
