ABE "?"

Post by Alan Baxter »

@Giorgio:
Clicking on the "?" in the upper-right corner of the ABE options opens up http://noscript.net/. That doesn't seem to be very informative. Did you intend it to do something else yet?

Yes, it points at http://noscript.net/help/ABE (which is meant to be part a more general help system), but at this moment the page is still missing and noscript.net redirects every 404 not found to the root path.

Thanks, Giorgio, that page now exists but I'm a little bit confused. It says: "A preliminary ABE implementation is provided with NoScript 1.9.3.6 and above, and local rulesets can be configured from NoScript Options|Advanced|ABE." There is indeed an ABE folder in my profile but its rules subfolder is empty. And consequently, Noscript itself doesn't display any ruleset and I'm not able to edit/change anything. Have I missed anything?

Another funny thing: I wasn't able to open that rules subfolder. I checked the rights (I'm on Ubuntu 9.04) and noticed that I had read and write permission but no permission to open the folder (rw-). I've changed that, of course, but my question is: Is that intentional?

It was a bug with the default file creation permissions on Ubuntu, fixed in 1.9.3.7 latest development build.

I'm already using that version but the problem persists.

To recreate the defaults you can either use the "Reset" button (which will reset the other preferences as well, though) or enter the following in the Error Console:

Code: Select all

top.opener.noscriptOverlay.ns.__parent__.ABE.resetDefaults()
