Import preferences/data from New Xkit?

[e-t-l]

Would it be possible to import data from New Xkit for features that have been migrated? For example, PostBlock and NotificationBlock both have datasets of posts I've blocked in New Xkit; it would be nice to migrate those lists into XKit-Rewritten rather than start from scratch.

It would be difficult since the two use entirely different storage systems, but a translation tool is something I would also like to see.

Understandable. Since this sort of data migration would be a one-time thing, do you think it would be possible a) for users to download/export these lists from New Xkit b) to include some option in Xkit-Rewritten's interface to import or otherwise mass-upload posts to block?

*I have no idea what syntax either extension uses to store or otherwise "remember" posts, so I don't know what the translation process would look like.

For XKit Rewritten, it's just a list of post IDs. Since backups are exported as plaintext, you should be able to see it (and thus its syntax) once you've blocked a post.

I guess it would be great to have more extension-specific export tools in XKit 7... but that would mean touching that codebase again, and I want to enjoy the illusion of having rid myself of it for a little while longer!

And finally, XKit 7's storage system is garbage. I still think a converter tool would be less painful but it would still be a little painful.

Yeah, that would be very useful feature.
