Is it possible to export just the search engine list?

[7peanuts]

Because I use it on a few browsers, the appearance and other settings will be different.

And is it possible to select a part of the engine list for export when exporting?

Not currently, but this has been mentioned by another user. I'll see what can be done and post here when I have something to test.

I've been thinking, would it work just as well if the full config was exported, but on import, you were able to check boxes for what parts you wanted plus a replace / merge option?

[7peanuts]

That's okay.

My previous idea was to export the search template to be able to use it for other similar add-ons or software.

Well you can kinda do that through the console on the options page. You'll need to run some javascript on the array to get it in the correct format for other addons anyway.

The proper OpenSearch formatted engines are in the array userOptions.searchEngines

Is this partial import function ready to use?

Is there any tools to export template strings?

No. I've been working on other things

Export how? What format are you wanting to get them into? Are you swapping between CS installs or between different addons?

What format are you wanting to get them into?

I want to export the templates and merge them into other CS engine managers. Since the partial import/export function are not yet implemented, I would like to ask what tools are available to read json files and extract and copy the search engines strings from it.

Merging configs makes things more complicated. I'm working on something, but I'll roll it out slowly because I don't want a bug to cause config errors. I'll let you know when I have something to test.

Just take your time, this feature is optional. 😎 I will find a software that can extract the search engines strings in bulk instead.

Latest push to dev branch will allow this. It needs testing and has some limitations, but looks good so far.

Use the same Import button, and it should recognize the file as a partial list import

Some fixes going up. It's a work in progress.
