Disable auto reload

[SkySkimmer]

There was an option to disable auto reloading after changing policies before 1.0, but apparently it was removed because it caused confusion with the menu not updating.
I would like this feature back. Could we have an advanced option for it, or even an about:config option?

I think it might be better right in the drop-down menu, the very bottom, floated left of "Disable|Enable Blocking",
|| [x] Reload on Change ................................................................ Disable Blocking ... Help ... ||

If you make any Allow/Deny changes, so long as the item is checked the page reloads. If unchecked, it doesn't.

As said in another issue, the new menu will be XUL based, not HTML, so it will close on first click (and try to auto reload). Should Reload on change be disabled by default?

Even better, can we prevent the menu to close on first click?

I want to be the one controlling when the page reloads. That means I want to be able to disable RP's reload no matter what causes it.

[CrashNBurn71]

The RP 1.0 drop-down, doesn't close on first click, it doesn't close until you

1. click elsewhere in the interface, or
2. re-click the icon.
   Then the page reloads if you made changes to the Allow/Deny rules.

Although I can see some desiring even more control than that. It works nearly perfect for me now, with the odd quirk and a couple missing things from 0.5.

Being able to select multiple entries in the log-view to copy might be useful via standard keys:
Ctrl-A, Shift-PgUp/Dn, Shift-Up/Dn or Ctrl-Click.

I wouldn't put the "enable/disable auto-reload" option in the menu. either only in about:config or also in the extended settings, but not in the menu.

@CrashNBurn71: I think @SkySkimmer is aware that 1.0 has a multi-click UI, but he wants to disable auto-reload nevertheless. The new "classic menu" (as an option taken back from 0.5) will also support multi-click, just as NoScript does.

@nodiscc: I think there's a misunderstanding. In #353 I've said there will be both "new/modern" menu and "old/classic" menu. Both will support multi-click. Yes, this is possible – NoScript has a "classic" multi-click menu. So I think this issue is not a discussion – could you remove that label?

Yes.
