[Question] Export already saved tweet database to another browser?

[biggestsonicfan]

I'm upgrading my hard disk and doing a fresh distro install. I'd like to be able to transfer which tweets have already been saved to my new Firefox install but I'm not really sure where the tampermonkey data is stored for tcas.

Is it a straightforward process and my google-fu is just failing me?

I currently did not implemented this #12

It stores the data in LocalStorage.
You can manually copy it from the old browser to the new one.
See "ujs-..." values.

OK, I will write the temporal script to simplify the manual work.

The outdated version

To export:

let exportObject = [
    "ujs-click-n-save-settings",
    "ujs-images-history-by",
    "ujs-twitter-downloaded-images-names",
    "ujs-twitter-downloaded-image-tweet-ids", 
    "ujs-twitter-downloaded-video-tweet-ids"
    ].reduce((acc, name) => {
        const value = localStorage.getItem(name);
        if (value === null) {
            return acc;
        }
        acc[name] = localStorage.getItem(name);
        return acc;
    }, {});
downloadBlob(new Blob([JSON.stringify(exportObject)]), "ujs-c'n's-export.json");
function downloadBlob(blob, name, url) {
    const anchor = document.createElement("a");
    anchor.setAttribute("download", name || "");
    const blobUrl = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    anchor.href = blobUrl + (url ? ("#" + url) : "");
    anchor.click();
    setTimeout(() => URL.revokeObjectURL(blobUrl), 30000);
}

To import:

let input = document.createElement("input");
input.type = "file";
input.accept = "application/json";
document.body.prepend(input);
input.addEventListener("change", async event => {
    const json = JSON.parse(await input.files[0].text());

    console.log("json", json);
    globalThis.json = json;

    Object.entries(json).forEach(([key, value]) => {
        localStorage.setItem(key, value);
    });
});
input.click();

The new version is here: #12 (comment)

OH whoops, didn't see the issue was already open, LOL! Closing as duplicate!
