Hey,

Looks like you have a good updater script here. :)

One problem for me.. I have about 20 different scripts
installed; does this mean I have to re-install all of
them so Userscripts Updater can work with all of them?

If not, I suggest an import feature. :)

No, you don't need to. Have you read the Updates post? http://userscripts.org/topics/18633

Yes I read it and only the scripts I installed after installing Userscripts Updater are showing. None of my already installed scripts show.

Oh I see what you mean now. Yes, I had to reinstall the scripts in order to have Updater recognise the scripts I had installed before.

From what I understand alien_scum's script dances around permissions. It seems incredibly difficult to me, but would make your script much more useful. It is currently broken but one user claims to have fixed it http://userscripts.org/topics/14721?page=3#post...

I can't seem to get that working (also the patched version). It doesn't do anything. Doesn't open a tab like it says it should.

Okay When I Try The Import I Get Two Errors :(

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIDOMLocation.href]" nsresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Users/Seth/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/8d4vh6d1.default/extensions/%7Be4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781%7D/components/greasemonkey.js :: importFromDisk :: line 712" data: no]

And

TypeError: objImportSearch.scriptAttr[0] is undefined

There You Go

lazyttrick, love your work. But don't forget your fans that use the Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition from PortableApps.com. :) Might the updater script be stored in a different (incompatible) location?

I decided to rewrite your path guessing code(mostly for Mac support). It works on both mac and linux, and I think it should work on Windows, but I don't have a PC so I can't test it on that.

	                             try{
                                        // Get the Cache path no matter what it is
					path = document.body.innerHTML.match(/Cache Directory:<\/b><\/td>\n*<td><tt>\s*(.*)\s*<\/tt>/);
					}catch(e){
					}
					if(win_path = path[1].match(/(\D:.*\\)\D*Cache/)) // Windows
					{
					  // Untested
					  // <tt> X:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\Cache</tt>
					  // also works for X:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\OfflineCache for Firefox Portable
					  // X:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>
					  path = 'file:///' + win_path[1].replace(/\\[^\\]+$/,'').replace(/\\/g,'\/').replace(/[^\/]+$/,'') + 'gm_scripts/config.xml';
					}
					else if (mac_path = path[1].match(/\/(Users\/.*)\/Cache/)) // Mac
					{
					  // Confirmed to work
					  // <tt> /Users/<username>/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/Cache</tt>
					  // Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>
					  path = 'file:///' + mac_path[1].replace(/Caches/, 'Application Support') + '/gm_scripts/config.xml';
					}
					else if (linux_path = path[1].match(/\/(home\/.*)\/Cache/)) // Linux
					{
					  // Confirmed to work(Ubuntu)
					  // <tt> /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/Cache</tt>
					  // /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>
					  path = 'file:///' + linux_path[1] + '/gm_scripts/config.xml';
						
					}
                                       // If we caught the path then store it
					if (path.match(/file:/)) GM_setValue('importPath', escape(path));
					GM_setValue('import','doXML');
					location.href = path;
					break;

thanks, I'll take a look at this...

It may take a while cause I'm always procrastinating, but...
