Stop logging when HttpFox panel is closed #78

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I found that I frequently forget that HttpFox is running in background -
having to stop it in addition to closing the panel is simply
counter-intuitive. This is an addition to issue 38 to make HttpFox use more
intuitive, stop logging automatically when the panel is closed. There
aren't too many cases where somebody would want to continue logging with
the panel closed, the chances to continue logging unintentionally (and slow
down your browser) are pretty high however.

A warning could be added before closing the panel: "This will stop logging, do 
you
want to continue ?"

Yes, that would do to make sure existing users don't get any wrong expectation. 
With
a checkbox "Don't ask again" of course.

I think an option should be added to addon options dialog to set a timeout for 
autostop watching after the panel is closed (maybe another one in case the 
panel stays open, though not so necessary in my opinion). But I don't think 
extra messages are needed.
