Stylus: Getting styles from Stylish

[farzadmf]

Hello,

I apologize if this is not the correct place to post this issue, but this is the only place I thought I may get an answer.

I was using Stylish for my styles, and I had quite a few custom styles that I had made, and I didn't create a backup for all of them. Suddenly, the extension stopped working with the following message:

And I can't go and backup my styles.

Is there a way I can find the styles I made and export/import them manually (I'm using Windows)?

I appreciate if you can help me

Thank you

What I did:

• Turn Stylish back on with the toggle in lower right
• Go to Stylish "Manage all styles" page and do a backup
• Install Stylus
• Go to Stylus "Manage" and import
  (you may need to write explicit filename, my Stylish backup was .dms, but Stylus looks for .json)
• Disable Stylish
• Verify Stylus is working with pages you're used to being restyled
• Uninstall Stylish

Thank you @TWiStErRob . It was so stupid of me that I didn't check that I can indeed re-enable the extension. I appreciate your answer.

Just while we're at it, is there a way to selectively import the styles into Stylus? (not all the styles altogether)

You can edit the file before importing it in any text editor or in a JSON editor.
