Adblock Plus 0.6 - Development builds

[Paulfox]

Many, many thanks to Peng for the "language" and "formatting!" I used his script as a model but eliminated the 24-sizes and used only my version of "16" pngs ( I always use "small icons").

Personally I went with something intuitive & less complicated and only 2k of stylish script (will probably commit to user file) - green for on, red for off. No pics, no dialog, no messing . . . . wfm. May "crisp up" the image edges later. Again, the tweaks were made ONLY for "16" png sizes/small icons. Should I change to "large icons," the default AB+ ones take over. Green & red seem more "Palm Pilotish" and intuitive to me. Top view is green/enabled in as it appears in Toolbar, bottom is red/disabled as appears Status Bar.



EDIT: These are crisper & attained by "cheating," and making the image actually 14 x14 - removes some "padding" & edge fuzziness by placing the smaller 14x14 along right edge of its "placement slot." Size then relates better to adjacent icon and arrow.

@Peng: Could you also add chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul to @-moz-document? Then it will work in SeaMonkey and I could link to it from the FAQ...

And the bug is actually a feature

Will do.

Edit: Done.

Edit: Oh. I hadn't figured out what bug was a feature. Now I have. Okay.

@ Everyone:

Congratulations (especially you, Wladimir) on what seems so far is a very successful release (at least here it is).

I just logged in not long ago not knowing what to expect. I had only 4 ABP relative emails total throughout the 12 hours following the release of Adblock Plus 0.7 .... this is certainly excellent news at this point.

I will also take this time to thank ALL of the developers, testers, the filter makers, and people who have lent their help and input for the last 2 years for a terrific evolution of this extension ... with out ANY of them, this project would NOT be where it is today.

I like the icons in the last dev build.

@ ecjs

Yeah .. actually, so did I. But I think there was a discussion with the icon "clarity".

I think at the "11th hour", that Wladimir decided to release ADB 0.7 as planned, instead of waiting for the icon issue to be resolved.

IMHO, I think the icons will be changed .... eventually.

I hope so!

oops (login)

my post above.

It's too bad that they were NOT used.

It seems that the icon author just did not use a good resizing/resampling filter for the icon graphics reduction. I say that because the original sheet that he posted was very nice ... clean and clear! Even Irfanview does a fine job resampling...

[Peng]

Again, you can use a style if you want to use the new icons.

On this site, despite two FX "close and reopns," tabs for java/flash do not appear on the ad 2/3 down page:

I'm posting under "filters" forum a related question to this. Had it here, but it really doesn't relate to DevBuild/0.7, so I've deleted and will repost. Thanks.

Adblock Plus 0.7 - Development builds

Or this topic could simply be renamed, but I think a new topic is a good idea, since this one has 776 replies (soon to be 777 ).

Edit: I have a feature request that I should probably post in another thread or something: A setting, whether through a dialog or one of the menus or I dunno, to export disabled filters or not. I keep some filters I don't want to use disabled because they're very general, and I don't really want to bother manually cleaning them out of an export..

Edit: Should Adblock Plus allow a filter to be listed in a subscription multiple times in patterns.ini?

Edit: Oddly enough, one of my filters ("*/RealMedia/ads/") just isn't working at the moment. Firefox has been under a lot of stress, though, and is using 578 MB of RAM and 1.7 GB of virtual RAM, so I guess I should expect random weird breakage. I don't want to delete the filter and recreate it since I think I'll lose the hit count if I close the preferences window.

Edit: Restarts did not help, but changing the filter to "*/RealMedia/ads/*" did. What's up with that?

Edit: With both filters, the only difference I see in patterns.ini is that the shortcut for */RealMedia/ads/* is "/realmed" while the shortcut for */RealMedia/ads/ is "/RealMed".

Edit: I made a new thread for that.

Feature request:

• *support shortcut "F2" for editing a marked filter
  *add "copy address" to context menu in sidebar

[Peng]

• *add "copy address" to context menu in sidebar

That one already is there. Upgrade to Adblock Plus 0.7.
