i seem to have come across a bug

in short iv noticed when importing my exported options and whitelist/blacklist from addon that it doesnt seem to remember what scripts where blacklisted so i have to go thru the scripts and blacklist all the old ones again because there set as whitelisted

im not sure why that is but its something iv noticed

Couldn't reproduce this on Firefox 9.01, NS 2.2.25, on Win XP, but did come up with one slight heads-up:

Let's say that I export a list in which badsite.com is Untrusted.
Then, later, I add badsite.com to the whitelist.
Now, I import the previous exported list.
Result: NoScript will not add badsite.com to the Untrusted list. It will not remove it from the whitelist.
In other words, it won't overwrite a current whitelist with an Untrusted entry from an imported list.

I assume this is by design. Presumably, we decided to whitelist badsite.com *after* having previously marked it as Untrusted.
NoScript is honoring the most recent choice.

Make sure your Whitelist is manually purged of all unwanted entries *before* importing the previous export.
Does this help?

To prevent, keep the export current by exporting each time after making significant changes.

Personally, I back up the entire Profile folder fairly regularly. Then even if I have to reinstall Firefox for some reason, *everything* will be the same -- the extensions, the configuration settings, etc. -- as soon as I restore the backup Profile.
