Whitelist in context menu - option setting?

Post by MenuDigger »

Is there a setting to enable direct access via the context menu to the Whitelist in a session, as opposed to digging through the
options menu?
I use it to review operation on individual sites where I'm fine-tuning third party media permissions; the combinations and permutations of cdns are fascinating to this control freak.
Have I missed some obvious term in the context menu?

Er, what you are asking for is already the default behavior. Whitelisted sites show up as "Forbid [...]" (*not* in italics, those would be Temporarily allowed sites)

Under NoScript Options > Appearance, make sure you have checked at least one of Base 2nd level Domains, Full Domains, Full Addresses
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

Those appearance settings are all for a current tab (session) are they not?
I'm interested in checking the whitelist itself for anything that has been given permission historically. I don't know about you, but I have been known to make keyboard and mouse mistakes ;)

There is a "recently blocked" menu item.
I'd wondered whether there may be some config not revealed in the GUI that would show "recently permitted" in the same vein, and if not that then an "open whitelist" kind of item.
From your answer, it appears there's not.
Thanks for your response. I'll possibly submit an rfe with my next donation.

Hope the lcc is more acceptable in this post. Apologies for messing up your house there ;)

Reason: fixed line wrapping

The appearance settings will stick and apply to the entire profile.

I once destroyed my entire OS because of a silly typo. :o

Correct. But similar has been asked before - viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22165

If you get in the habit of leaving NoScript Options open to the Whitelist tab when closing it, it'll show the Whitelist tab when you next open it.

There is precedent for similar. And your RFE is reasonable.

So, if you'd like to sponsor this feature, you should first email Giorgio about it. Or register an account on this forum and send him a PM.

Yes that's much better, thanks. Generally best to leave line wrapping to the forum though (fixed in your post above).

Oh that's OK. You're used to writing email aren't you? This is not like email, other people's browsers won't insert weird nonsensical line breaks. ;)
