Violentmonkey: Migration

[rayman89]

Is it possible to quickly put all the greasemonkey scripts I have into violent monkey?

1. Open Directory
   C:\Users\Name-Your-User\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Name-Your-Profile\gm_scripts\
2. Search in searching bar of filemanager *.user.js
3. Archive your scripts to archivename.zip
4. Violentmonkey - Open Dashboard - Settings - Import from zip
   Import works fine, but export in Firefox does not work yet because of this:

@AlexBeLi Thanks a lot. BTW I'm a bit confused with the auto updates it seems that a lot of scripts cannot be auto updated now that they are on violent monkey but they were updated automatically when they were on greasemonkey like handy image for example do you know why?

@rayman89 Only scripts with @updateURL or installed from sites like Greasy Fork can be updated automatically. Otherwise we do not know where to check for updates.

I've created an archive with all the *.user.js in the root, e.g. there were no subfolders in the archive:
cd YOUR_FIREFOX_PROFILE/gm_scripts && zip -R -j greasemonkey_scripts '*.user.js'
Next, I tried Violentmonkey - Open Dashboard - Settings - Import from zip
And... no any response, no scripts were installed!
