History for all sites being deleted #179

Open Zoarsk opened 5 years ago

Zoarsk commented 5 years ago

Hi, I don’t know if this is possible, or I have just miss understood. I would like to configure the addon so that it deletes the history for specific sites only. Currently I have a number of sites as “On Leave” which delete Cookies, and this works fine and some as “Never”. I have added “Facebook” to “On Startup” which is set to delete Cookies + History, what actually happens is it deletes the History for all sites unless they are set as “Never”, what I wanted was it to delete only Facebook’s History.

Thanks for a great addon anyway. Z

Hi Zoarsk,

notice the fallback rule below the rules list. This rule will be used if the domain does not match any of the rules.

This fallback rule is probably still set to the default (on leave), which means, that domains that don't match any of your rules will be removed from history in your case.

It is not possible at this time to have different fallback rules depending on the cleanup type.

If you only want specific sites to be cleaned and the rest to stay, you can set the fallback rule to never and facebook, etc. to on leave/startup/instantly.

I hope this answers your question. If this does not fit your ideal scenario, please write down a detailed use-case like "i leave page x, i want y to happen, but not z. I restart the browser... etc", so I can understand your desire and see if something could be done about it.

Keep in mind though, that there are a lot of other feature requests open and i am working alone on this in my free time, so it might take sone time before I get to new feature requests.
