Ability to import (and sync to) online XML files about foxreplace HOT 16 CLOSED

Hi, this is a very interesting feature and it seems easy to implement. In fact, 
I
already know how to load an XML file from HTTP, so the first part will be
straightforward. The sync part probably will require a service, so it will take 
some
more time because I haven't done one before.

I will implement the first part for the next version of FoxReplace, and the 
second
part in the same or maybe a later version, depending on my time.

Great! Thanks again for your hard word, Marc!

The first part is already implemented in version 0.11.0, which is now in the 
sandbox
at addons.mozilla.org, and I have started to work in the subscription.

Awesome, I will check it out now. 

If you want to test using my program that generates FoxReplace lists, I just 
fixed it
(there was a bug that came up when Google altered how it publishes its 
documents)

Heres the URL again, hopefully Google code won't insert a line return this time:

Works beautifully! Thanks.

Hi, I see that you use the list format of version 0.8. Now, the current format 
is
version 0.10, but the only difference is in how URLs that start with a '-' are
interpreted, i.e. if you don't use URLs you can change only the version number 
and
everything will work just like now.

Oh yes, thanks. :) Just fixed the output to be version="0.10".

Version 0.12.0 (in the sandbox) is already released, with a first 
implementation of
the subscription. Now it always replaces the current list with the imported 
one, but
I have an idea to do it better for the next version.

I love this; I think, "maybe someone created a tool to do this automatically," 
and search "foxreplace import" on Google. You've already made it, and it works 
exactly as I'd like. Great.

The link doesn't work anymore.

Ok, now I see what you was referring to in your reviews. But if the link 
doesn't work I can't do anything about it because I didn't create it.

Couldn't you implement this feature in future releases? Being able to convert 
google spreadsheets to foxrepleace would be so helpful.

I think that's out of the scope of the addon itself. That would be a 
complement, but I don't have time to do it.

I have found a solution. I'd like to share in case somebody faces the same 
problem.
