But perhaps add a comment near the header somewhere how to *create* the button, that is must be done manually via toolbars.cfg. Because usually macros that toggle buttons also create them themselves, so this might get confusing to later users not aware of this thread and may use other skins ;-)
(and I'm still not convinced that toggling back would work also for types 4+5 :cool
A wish of mine was that some day toggling proxies will become a default item of the PrivBar.
However upon reflection, there are some problems with that.
It seems that there is only a very small number of users who are using a proxy. Two regulars of this forum is pretty little.
Wonder how many users would use this item anyway, even if shipped by default in the PrivBar. Since it isn't a widely used setting, it should be commented out by default in toolbars.cfg. Many users don't even use the PrivBar while average users who never visit this forum might not even notice about its existence.
Probably there won't be many later users using this feature.
Nonetheless it would make sense perhaps to add this macro to the MacroLibrary.
You would be the right person for it. After all without your help it wouldn't become workable anytime soon.
As for testing if toggling back would work also for types 4+5, I can't. I've never used the WPAD protocol.
I use a proxy, only for tests, but I don't complicate things like you do.
I just have a button I had to create in a custom toolbar (my own skin) to toggle; and even I use the older macros from 0.x 1.x (PrivacySync) it works like a charm.
If I haven't said anything here is because you tend to create buttons with macros (what I'm not skilled at all; when I need a button or a menu I do manually, I don't automate it) and because you are using multiple proxies. I just use one and not very often, only for testing purposes. So with that button to change the type from 1 and 0, and vice versa, I'm quite pleased.
This afternoon I thought of posting my macros, but are as simple as what I'm talking about. Just a few lines to toggle the network.proxy.type preference.
Between the macro files formatting, that I go my own way, and the lack of knowledge I have of buttons and menus created by macros, I just read you without much attention. As Siria has said before I posted this I'm one of those who prefer to edit the cfg :/
