Hi,

following FAQ 2.4 the Export button on the whitelist page should only export the whitelist.
But in difference to that I get a full export. Exporting with the Export button on the whitelist page and the general Export button gives me 2 absolutely identical files. Seems like a little glitch.

BTW: I would suggest, that by repairing that the Export-button should also export the blacklist.
Better, if there would be a blacklist GUI tab in the options.

Found with FF 3.0.10 and NS 1.9.3.3 on Win XP SP 3 32 bit. (Nevertheless the NS homepage tells me, that I have NS 1.9.3, although I installed from there and even in about:config is 1.9.3.3 reported.)

Some glitches, but in total I think that NS is a really powerful and important extension. Thank you Giorgio.

Update: Tried again. Now I'm getting nothing but settings being exported, even from the upper Export button on the Whitelist panel. Something's screwy.

-------------------------------------------------
Confirmed, sort of. There's definitely a problem. For me, with the current dev build NoScript 1.9.3.8, any export button exports the whitelist (and blacklist too, after the "[UNTRUSTED]" line at the end of the exported list). The settings are not being exported by the lower Export button, on any of the Options panels.

AFAIK, there is no longer a "separate" "Export" solely for the White/Blacklist.

The Export button (regardless of where it is, & "all" such buttons work for me) export ALL NoScript Preferences (with the exception of data stored in the /ABE/ subdirectory.

In browsers that do not use "places" (I think that is the correct word, i.e., SeaMonkey 1.1.x) the "Export" is still solely of the White/Blacklist.

@therube:
You're seeing that because something's broken. If I close and restart the browser, and click the Export Whitelist button first, then the whitelist is exported. Once I've done that, only the whitelist continues to be exported from all the other Export buttons too.

The two buttons are meant to have different actions attached, and it actually works on first round.
However, after playing a bit with both, one button seems to override the other.
It's a bug and I'm investigating.

Fixed in latest development build.

v 1.9.3.9
=====================================================================
x Fixed import/export buttons for whitelist and full configuration
overriding each other (thanks Alan Baxter for reporting)

I confirmed it and did additional research. Thank you, Cosmo, for the initial report.

Hi, tried installing latest development build. Firefox sayd that it isn't compatible. Firefox version is 3.5 b4.

My fault.
I'm on travel and so I built the fix on my notebook, where the build script was not updated with latest max version info (which should be 3.6a1pre).
Fixed now, please clear your cache and install again.
