Script editor should expose (text) resources

[arantius]

I've got a script ( https://arantius.com/misc/greasemonkey/ebay-butler.user.js ) which has a CSS resource ( https://arantius.com/misc/greasemonkey/imports/ebay-butler.css ). That resource is injected into the page. I need to fix its contents.

Now I can only do that by remotely editing the file and re-installing the whole script. I should be able to edit the resource in place.

... expose (text) resources ...

I suppose detection through mime-type?

Slightly tangent to the issue, should @require and @resource be re-fetched when the scripts are updated? That is, through the updater interface / autoupdate when said things are implemented. Of course that'd bring up concerns with local modifications, but that issue applies to local modifications of the script itself too.

Yep.

Like 3.x does. Generally yes. Any local modification: don't (automatically) overwrite (but also expose a purely manual "force" action).

This was something I always wanted (see how long ago this was filed), and a recent new batch of work to do got me to look into it again.

FWIW see https://gist.github.com/arantius/0dc6a6f59e70e7e8f2d2905c77c2d393 which is my testing script while I work on this feature.
