Why not have exception straight from Preferences?

I do not know whether this has been discussed before.I would love to pin certain entries into the exception list from the preferences list.Presently it is possible only from a site block menu.

Just enter @@ in front of the filter?

What I meant was to allow!!The equivalent of adding @@@.

What would the three @ symbols do, I don't understand what you are getting at ?

Also you can add an exception rule from the blockable items window if that is of any help .

Wladimir, I think he wants to be able to create an exception in the 'Blockable items' via a right-click on a blocked item. I know I can do it in the devel build, but I can't remember if that feature was available in the current released version though.

@rick752: It is, "Add exception rule for item" is doing that has been for a long time.

Oh, I see now ... from the 'preferences' lists?

How would you know what filter you have to make an exception for if you aren't on a page/site that needs one?

It makes more sense to do that when you are actually on a site that needs one ... then there are clicks for whitelisting a blacklisting.

If it is because you don't like a certain filter in a subscription, simply just disable that particular filter line using the green bullet after it.

What you are suggesting really has no use.

Ok Now I get it.I went to the preferences tab and randomly picked a entry and left clicked the green button.It has become plain now.What is the purpose / function of the entry now as it is not deleted .

If it is part of a subscription, you cannot delete it because it is part of a whole file and won't disappear ... but you can disable them.

@nagan: Subscriptions will be updated regularly - if you "remove" something it will just come back in the next update. Disabled filters however stay disabled.
