[RESOLVED]Lacking feature: Undo whitelisting without blackli

Post by timar »

I often encounter the situation that NoScript blocks some site functionality and I have to figure out what domain I have to allow in order to enable that particular functionality. Usually I temporaray allow the suspected domains until I find the one providing the missing functionality. So far, so good. However, sometimes I accidentaly click on "allow" instead of "temporarily allow", whitelisting the domain. When I find out that this domain doesn't provide the functionality I want to simply remove it from the whitelist WITHOUT blacklisting it at the same time - just undoing the whitelisting! Yet annoyingly, NoScript seems to provide no way to do this. When I remove the domain from the whitelist, NoScript will automatically add it to the blacklist, which is driving me mad - I do not necessarily want it to be on the blacklist as it may provide some functionality (on other websites) I don't yet know about, and by permanently blacklisting it I won't find out about it. I simply want to undo the whitelisting and restore the initial undecided state. Did I miss something or is NoScript missing such an elementary option?

No, it shouldn't behave this way.
You've got a "Forbid xyz.com" command, which removes the site from the whitelist but doesn't add it to the blacklist, unless you're in globally allow mode or using a cascading permission option.
May I see your NoScript Options|Export output?
Doing a NoScript Options|Reset will show you how it's actually supposed to work by default, anyway.

That's the solution. It was set to true (no idea why, though) - I set it to false and now it works logically just like I wanted it.
