[RESOLVED] Permissions Message

[Guest]

Hi, is there a way or would you be able to provide an option to disable the messaging when changing permissions? Now we have to do it twice and for me at least it's not needed.

[Giorgio Maone]

Why twice? They're automatically applied as soon as you leave the popup.

Ok am I missing something? In the previous version, which I've gone back too you make the permission change, for example giving the tab full permission and it automatically refreshes with just the one click. Now it stays there until you confirm the change. For me it slows down the pace if you make these changes a lot as I do. All I'm asking is can you provide an option to revert to the previous behavior?

Not exactly: it stays there until you either revert the change (which is the point of the new behavior, giving you the chance to do it) OR you just focus back to the page or elsewhere, which you would have to anyway.
Coming to your question yes, I would be able to provide an option (or even two, since someone would say that it's convenient for tabs but not globally or vice-versa), but it's not a top priority right now.

Rather than making an option, would it be possible (and if so satisfy this case) to just apply these particular changes on mouseout of the popup?

This feature is very annoying, is there a way to downgrade?

As the OP said it now takes 2 clicks to dismiss the window. Prior when clicking 'disable restrictions for this tab' it immediately reloaded the page without mouse focus change or extra click and then you can go on using the website.

Now you must click disable then click outside of the dialog, then it reloads. You should add an option to immediately reload on click of Disable restrictions for tab and Give temporary access which also now doesn't remove the dialog until you click out.

This one has always been this way: the rationale is that once you enable everything that's already requested by the page, it reloading it with the popup open can show what other dependencies (if any) are needed by the newly running scripts.

Rather than adding further options or introducing a new unexpected (close on mouseout) behavior, I'd prefer to revert the close+reload to immediate for tab and keep it the new deferred way for global, which should be a much more infrequent (and potentially dangerous, especially if gone unnoticed, as we've repeatedly seen also recently) action.

Makes sense and +1. Global is where it's most important that user sees the warning, especially since disabled restrictions for this tab is always a temporary permission change whereas disabled restrictions globally is preserved.

I suppose that you've lost the count, but no wonder.

What has bugged me is not that no_message_beforehand, but afterwards: the "message" on the NoSrcipt icon is not very clear and if I "set all this page temporarily TRUSTED" there's no hint that anything has happened and this stays forever if I forget to "Revoke the permissions".

Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying? If I use that option, the page refreshes and when that's done, the popup updates with the new permissions. That's two hints that something happened.

I'm also not sure what this has to do with this thread? The OP's issue was about the new behavior of "Disable restrictions for this tab", not about "Set all on this page to Tempoarily TRUSTED" which as Giorgio said didn't change in behavior.

Hi, the latest build's fine, at least for me. Most of my changes are giving tab permissions and this reverts to the previous behavior.
