Proximodo 0.2 is out!

atom;

Good list of requests (directly above, not quoted here for brevity), but I do have one question for you. When you say it's a pain in the butt to add a domain to a list, why is that? Your example doesn't jibe with the capabilities I seem to have. I don't have a mouse-over icon in any of my HTML pages, so I have to assume you're using a non-default config. Moreover, whenever I right click my taskbar icon, I see a list of things at the bottom that let me either Add to a Blockfile, or Edit a Blockfile. The edit option is easy, it just opens the file I selected from a sub-menu. But when I click on the Add option, then the appropriate sub-menu, I get a dialog box that let's me enter whatever I want for a URL, including wild cards. Hell, I even have the option within that dialog to choose to edit the selected file.

Can't ask for much more than that, except maybe an "Auto-Add this page" feature. But before you go any further with that "Auto-Add", let me remind you that lotsa people run their sites from an "overlord" site. What happens if you wanna filter Tommy's site on Geocities? Do you really wanna apply the "Tommy-appropriate" filters to all of Geocities? Maybe to just the 'Members' part of it, right? Sounds to me like you now have a desire to get somewhere between the two extremes, and I don't see too many ways to do that, short of a dialog box.

But you are correct in one thing about all this; editing a text file is not always the easiest way to do things. In fact, if the UI is done correctly, and if the loading order can be absolutely controlled from the UI, then there really should be no need at all to edit a file directly. I'd still save it in ascii format though, just in case something goes blammo in the night. It would be easier to figure out where things have gone south, plus it would be easier to share with others. (If it were stored in a compressed format, then an Import/Export facility would be needed when it came time to share config sets, and that's just extra overhead, IMHO.)
