[Fixed] Make reenabling of all filters simpler
[Fixed] Make reenabling of all filters simpler
One thing as a list maintainer that i find tedious is enabling back all the disabled filters from couple of lists. Whenever we get a false positive requests we check for the culprit by disabling a filter at a time. After we have done that, enabling them back is a pain. It won't be a pain for doing one or two FP requests but can be a great pain when doing batches of FPs.
It would be nice if you could add a option to enable all disabled filters.
Another option I would like to be added is to be able to copy URLs from Diagnostics for Adblock Plus tool.
Other day there was a report for false positives on http://www.betfair.com/
While i was going through, i noticed the URLs that are from mp.apmebf.com disappears after the page load completes. I was able to see all the URLs in ABP Diagnostics tool but it won't let me copy the URLs. We do keep a record of sample URLs which we block or whitelist and also when me and Hubird we discussing about this false positive, we found not being able to copy URLs as a hurdle since we were trying to narrow down on URLs that needs to be whitelisted on a regional site.
Both these features are of little use or no use for users but can be of great use for list maintainers.

I'd be happy if at least the "Enabled" checkbox (under "Preferences") would turn grey or something if one or more filters in a list are not enabled. Currently there's no indicator that parts of a list are actually disabled.

Re: Couple of Feature Requests
Diagnostics has been changed: https://hg.adblockplus.org/abpwatcher/rev/8a775d201009 (this change is already in the development builds).
I will change the title of this topic to reflect the first feature request - I prefer my bug reports with meaningful titles and with one report per topic.

Re: [Fixed] Make reenabling of all filters simpler
No more searching for the needle in the haystack!
Thanks a lot, Wladimir!
By the way, how are subscription changes - during an update - merged when you have disabled filters?

Re: [Fixed] Make reenabling of all filters simpler
If a filter is disabled it stays disabled no matter where you put it. So a subscription update that merely moves filters around has no impact on disabled filters. However, if a filter is changed (e.g. options added/removed, an extra * at the end and such) - as far as Adblock Plus is concerned it is a different filter and it is enabled by default.
