Deleting Browsing History Deletes Preferences about switchy

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Thank you for filing this issue, actually this's a bug in Chrome itself, 
because it 
deletes 'localStorage', which is used to store options, if you delete browser 
history.
Anyway, your idea about storing options in a bookmark is really interesting, 
but it 
seems a bit odd to use bookmarks for storage. although I may add this as an 
option in 
Options page.

Is Switchy using a cookie? I would be ok with setting an exception for the 
Switchy 
cookie, to tell Chrome to leave my Switchy options alone. When I browse the 
cookies 
currently in Chrome, I see several that have a random string name, with a path 
of 
'Local Storage' -> 'chrome-extension://[random string name]', but I can't 
readily 
tell which of my extensions is which.

I tried adding a cookie exception for 'chrome-extension://', but Chrome won't 
let me 
hit the [OK] button with just that in the 'Host:' field.

Do you know of any way to detect which cookie relates to which extension, or to 
set a 
global exception for extensions?

This issue should be fixed now (see 
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?
id=33019).
I'll mark it as fixed.
Thank you.
