Copy last hit date

Post by Hubird »

At the moment in the ABP preferences windows it is only possible to copy a filter, not the amount of hits and not the last hit date. It would be nice to be able to copy the others for those times when the user wants to give stats to the subscription maintainers.

I was thinking something similar when coping url's from the blocked items, maybe "copy extended infomation"

Code: Select all

Please don't tamper with the standard copying behavior. I'd hate to have remove any additional information first each time I want to add a filter to EasyList.

I'm not suggesting to change the existing methods, just add a new feature.

Just something similar to the copy filter in effect option. Copying extended details does not have to be the default but it would be nice if it was possible.

Moved to "Future Development" - let's consider this. I think this would mean a context menu item "Copy all information Ctrl+Shift+C". What would be a meaningful format for the result? CSV? Like "@@||example.com,enabled,2234,2010-12-02 20:33"?

Copying a HTML table in Firefox gives a TSV (or so it looks), so I guess you could as well use that.

I guess something like this needs to happen anyway if the "Notify the maintainer of the filter" feature is going to be implemented.

I am not sure how the information should be formatted but CSV does seem very popular.
