Exception rules in adblock? Does "@@" not work?

[Augustine Souza]

I'm using the developer version of Midori from the Launchpad ppa.

I'm using ***only*** my own filter list located at /home/user/.config/midori/extensions/libadblock.so/custom.list but I cannot get exceptions (whitelist?) to work:

For example, I have a rule to block all .gif images everywhere:

.*/.*.gif

This rule blocks all .gif images everywhere, as intended.

I then want to make an exception for a single .gif image (for example):

None of these work:
@@http://ubuntuforums.org/images/rebrand/buttons/lastpost.gif
@@||ubuntuforums.org/images/rebrand/buttons/lastpost.gif
@@||ubuntuforums.org/

The image lastpost.gif remains blocked. (I save and quit gedit after changing custom.list, empty cache and restart Midori.)

Is the use of exceptions possible in Midori and am I making some mistake in the syntax? According to the EasyList format, the first rule (@@http://ubuntuforums.org/images/rebrand/buttons/lastpost.gif) should work. Or, are exceptions not possible?

Just to clarify, I have both rules in the one file called custom.list like this:

.*/.*.gif
@@http://ubuntuforums.org/images/rebrand/buttons/lastpost.gif

The best reference on the support is the internal "AdblockPlus rule reference" in the adblock sources, see http://git.xfce.org/apps/midori/tree/extensions/adblock.c#n1349 .

It currently says "TODO: @@ is currently ignored by Midori".

Thank you for the link and the explanation :)

Should whitelist (when fixed) be accessible by GUI?
