Proximodo 0.2 is out!

[atom]

will have more to say as i become familiar with proximodo, but here's my initial impression...

in a word, AWESOME!

the errors, possibly related to MIME types, are gone on XP. the interface is good looking, intuitive and a pleasure to work with. the descriptions for each filter are very informative. good work! this version is full of useful improvements!

my humble suggestions, if i may...

maybe sticky up a "feature request" topic in your forum???

for really fast filter editing access, add a tree menu to the r-click options of the task bar icon (such as with the 4.5-j version of proxomitron), or not -- see r-click browser context menu later on also...

add option to enable/disable filtering with a single (left) click of the task bar icon, then add a r-click option to open the main UI.

one of the things i didn't really care for with proxomitron was having to edit txt files for relatively mundane purposes, such as adding a website to a "trusted" list. true, with the modded version, you have an icon embedded in the HTML in the upper-left of the page, so it only took a couple clicks. however, i didn't feel that the formatting of the URL which was to be added was "intelligent" enough. for instance, if one visited "www.example.com/index.htm" and added that page to the trusted list, it was added exactly as "www.example.com/index.htm", when what i really wanted was "*.example.com/*" so the WHOLE DOMAIN was trusted. i have a few suggestions regarding this...

first, the add-on proxomitron icon that was embedded in the HTML and accessed via a "mouse-over" was fairly convenient, but not as convenient as it could be. it was also useless much of the time, as parts of its drop-down menu were often unaccessible because it opened in a small frame of a webpage. what i'd rather see is an option to add proximodo r-click functionality anywhere in the browser window (maybe in the form of a browser plug-in).

if you choose to do this, then may i suggest a few different options for adding pages to the filters (such as "trusted", "URL kill", "kill images", etc.). for instance, as mentioned above, add an option to add the whole domain (*.example.com/*), OR, just the current page (example.com/index.htm) to a filter.

almost done. i promise...

i think that proxomitron and proximodo (though i fully realize it's in development) could be considered web filters for the "enthusiast". however i think privacy and the option to omit all the complete, useless crap that annoys us everyday is important to not only to enthusiasts, but many computer newbies as well. so although i don't want to lose one iota of functionality, i wouldn't mind seeing this application become as user friendly as possible. plus, this may help widen the gap between proximodo and its predecessor. here's what i'm thinking...

option in the installer (and UI) to load proximodo at boot.

auto-configure the browser port according to filter status ("all" or "none") (having to manually open the browser settings and delete the port every time i disabled proxo always annoyed me).

auto-reload pages for which a new filter is applied, such as "no images".

ok... i quit!

EDIT....

oops. 1 more... how about a visual indication, via the task bar icon, as to whether or not filtering is enabled?
