Re: @Marti:
Yeah, I figured I can only ask the engine developers or documentation maintainers. It seems some background reading is needed first, so I will leave it for later. Thanks for the quick and informative responses again. I think that is all I need to know.
Re: @Marti:
Thank you for the quick response. I realised after I made my post that maybe it would have been more convenient for you had I made an issue on GitHub instead, so apologies if this is less convenient.
Regarding the public documentation, I already checked all three sources above beforehand, and that is why I am aware it is not explicitly listed in any official documentation. I am puzzled by the absence of
GM.downloadwhen it is required in practice. I think the userscript scene is moving quite slowly, so I have no idea when it will be documented.Still, you are much more knowledgeable than me and you are the dev, so I respect your decision. It is hopefully only hurting a very small group of my users anyway.
Dear Marti
Firstly, thank you for running and developing this site. I just have one small issue about the site's metadata check that I think needs to be fixed.
A few days ago, I updated my userscript for the first time since 2020 and I found that the site now blocks
@grant GM.downloadand gives error 400 "@grantwith value ofGM.downloadis not valid or supported". The update would not go through unless I remove this grant from my metadata block. My userscript always had@grant GM.downloadsince 2019 and the site was okay with it back then.Right now,
@grant GM_downloadis accepted, and other dot notation grants like@grant GM.setValueare also accepted, but@grant GM.downloadis not. WhileGM.downloadis not explicitly listed in any official documentation, at least Violentmonkey and Opera Tampermonkey require suchGM.*dot notation grants. I am speaking from actual experience, because my users reported broken Violentmonkey and Opera support after I incorrectly removedGM.*grants. I have added back otherGM.*grants and mostly fixed this problem, but@grant GM.downloadis still blocked and the function cannot be used in the code on affected platforms. I think it is incorrect for the site to block it and it should be re-allowed.Thanks in advance.
