No way to import OTP URIs as strings (from stdin or arguments) without files

Mentioned in https://github.com/replydev/cotp/issues/157#issuecomment-2062952310. Previously cotp add --otpuri would allow this.

Thanks for reporting. I will try to replicate and release a fix. I do not receive notifications for new messages in closed issues. Please always open a new issue.

So, in #425 the feature removal from a single OTP Uri has been reverted. You can now add the OTP Uri as before.

Said that, the importing error that you faced has been made a bit more clear. The error was the format that you were trying to import. All the import files must be JSON files with a string predefined schema. Please read: https://github.com/replydev/cotp?tab=readme-ov-file#migration-from-other-apps for futher information.

It should (also) just work with (cr)lf and/or whitespace in general separated list (Regex::new(r"(?m)\s+").split(string).collect()) (This is how https://github.com/bingzheung/authenticator exports & imports, easier to parse, and also most natural for a user making their own list, so it makes sense imo).

Basically, I would like to do things like

qrrs -r qrcode.png | cotp add -u

which would decode a QR code, and then pipes the text into add. Currently I'd have to do something like

qrrs -r qrcode.png | scb
cotp add -u

Insert the otp uri: <paste>
