I have my global preferences set to block images from third-party sites. Since this blocks useful images on many sites, back in OW 5.1 days I created a QuicKeys X shortcut script to enable third-party images:
The script still works with OW 5.5sp3, but it's frustrating to sit through a 15-20 second pause at step 4. Although it takes a long time for the checkbox to become unchecked, it's not clear whether the delay occurs before OmniWeb receives the click or before the display gets updated.
QuicKeys X 3.1.1 has two ways of pushing the button: "Tell button to click itself" and "Click button" (more Carbon-compatible). Both behave the same.
When I perform the operations manually, OmniWeb responds quickly to each step, including step 4.
I'm not ready to point the bug finger in a particular direction. I'm merely curious what might be going on.
- Command-I (Show Info)
- Click site-specific preferences tab
- Click ad-blocking sub-tab
- Click "From third-party sites" button if it's currently on
- Command-I (Show Info)
- Command-I (Close Show Info panel)
- Command-Shift-I (Load Images)
