Exporting/Importing Lists

I noticed that if you right click on a list you have to option of importing from or exporting to a .txt file. Would it be possible to make that feature a block? It would be really cool if you could. The blocks could be like:

import [full file name] from [full folder/file location v]

export [list name v] to [full folder/file location v]

The v is a drop-down menu to make selecting the file easier.

Too much of a security risk.

Imagine if someone writes list contents out to your command interpreter…

But, I would really like it if you could right-click on a list and export contents to a text file while the project is running in normal (non-editor) mode.

Yeah, good point. Too bad there are people in this world who want to ruin it for everyone…

well what if these lists were limited to a folder for example once the 2.0 offline editor comes out limit these lists to C:\programfiles\Scratch2.0\lists\name of list.txt
it can be an alterante way of making scratch “cookies” instead of using cloud lists
