Importing filter doesn't restore their position

Reporter · Post by **Reporter** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 6:48 am

I tried to move to another profile in another computer. I imported the filter list. Filters are restored but their relative positions are not.

I read the text file. It has the correct positions when exporting. But the positions have been screwed up when you import it.

This is what I mean. Eg:

When export

!Whitelist sites which provides free software
@@|http://www.abc.com
@@|http://www.def.com
!Whitelist some banking sites
@@|http://www.banka.com
@@|http://www.bankb.com

After import

@@|http://www.abc.com
@@|http://www.def.com
@@|http://www.banka.com
@@|http://www.bankb.com
!Whitelist sites which provides free software
!Whitelist some banking sites

What can I do? I desperately need to restore their positions too. Alas >_<

This is fixed in the current Adblock Plus development build: http://adblockplus.org/development-buil ... -extension

So many thanks. Just what I want.

I would like to report some bugs in this version.

Try to restore some of the filters by copying-and-pasting. See above for sample filters. The positions are still screwed up.

1. Copy filters (Press Ctrl+C)
2. Open the ABP dialog
3. Paste them (Press Ctrl+V)
