[Done] Visual indication for elements with disabled filters
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2008 8:07 pm
Since Adblock Plus 1.0 we are able to disable a filter in the "blockable items list" quickly by right clicking on the blocked item.
This is very useful if a site doesn't work with your filter list, you can disable actually used filters to see which filter interferes.
But if you disable a filter in the items list (and you find out that this filter is not interferingg) it could be VERY hard to find this element again to re-enable the filter by right clicking the element. This is beacause there is no visual indication ("state") for such elements. At present (if you not kept it in mind), you have to right click on each element and look if there is an entry called "Re-eneable filter x"...
Maybe the element with the disabled filter should be higlighted in a additional color (similar to the red blocked elements). Or maybe the filter in the filter collumn should not get hidden if this filter get disabled, but only viewed grayed out and a comment behind the filter like this: [filter disabled].
Anyway, a visual indication of elements with (recently?) disabled filters would be very helpful.
