Selective restore of blacklisted flights

[Llaves]

Where are the blacklisted flights stored? I couldn't find them in the flights.db stored in AppData (Windows).
I was thinking about writing an external program to selectively edit the list. Of course, if you want to make this a new feature, that would be great.

@Llaves the blacklisting is done using file hashes, because that is the only way to know which specific file you blacklisted. So it will be hard to edit with a external editor because you need to generate a SHA256 hash of all the files and cross check.

Where are the hashes stored? A fairly simple python script could take the name of the file you wish to remove from the blacklist, compute it's hash, and find that in the blacklist and remove it. But I would need to know where/how the blacklist is stored.

@Llaves It is stored in the frontend browser localstorage (Webview for Desktop app), not the database directly. It's purely frontend state persisted via the WebView's localStorage under the key importBlacklist. Same as how it remembers the sidebar size, collapsed panels etc etc .

Yes, I had eventually found that.

This is resolved by #60. The wish to edit the blacklist was based on the misconception that I couldn't restore a blacklisted item. That's not true - manually adding a flight ignores the blacklist.

@Llaves in addition to this feature (manual import by dragging/browing clearing the file from blacklist, we have added blacklist management in the settings so you can selectively remove blacklist label from a file so it gets synced again. Update to the latest build from the tab 3.0.0 (download again and re-install, binaries were updated in release)
