Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Idea for a userscripts.org new feature to help with script's update

Yes, I saw your script or the other one when I was developing mine, then I was like damn it! It's done already... Then I was happy to know they were different.

Indeed, my script could be named Presumptuous Updater, because he also assumes other little things that if don't happen it will silently fail. But I thought it wouldn't be a problem since no information is compromised thanks to GM_setValue... and it only would require you to try again to get it working. Nevertheless I use it a lot, and I never noticed one of those situations happening, nor anyone mention anything about it.
