The XML file is probably going to stay anyway, because it is easier to parse just that file than to parse all scripts. So the custom rules could still be stored in the XML file. Make it so that isn't overwritten on a reinstall/update of the script, but it is by manually editing the script (or so). And possibly some button to export the custom rules into the scripts (though whether that will have to replace all rules in the script or just add to them is another issue). A custom rule edit UI could be opened through the context-menu of a script entry. Not that I want these features. But that seems to be what people want. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "greasemonkey-users" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
