Haketilo 1.0 pre-release

> About Google Drive: I tried using it for one where I need to connect first. It seems I had to deactivate Haketilo to connect, but it could work afterwards. However, I remember sometimes it was working, sometimes not.

If you ever come across this issue again, can you provide the steps to reproduce? Possibly with links to the Google Drive files/folders that cause problems? Also, what do you mean by "connect"? If you mean signing in then you're right: the Haketilo fix does not yet support signing in, only accessing public folders/files.
As a side note: I could perhaps try adding sign-in support if I managed to find some Google credentials to use in development }:‑)

> More generally, I had difficulties understanding how to use the extension, for instance I wasn't sure whether I need to toggle the option of all JS to be deactivated or not.

I see... I'll think how I can make this one clearer in the UI. You said "for instance". If there are other things you can point out, I'd be extremely grateful if you did - feedback is something I am missing the most right now.

Yet another kind of feedback that would be super-useful is suggestions how the UI should look and what its messages should be for users to be able to understand how to use it.

In the meantime, here's explanation of the JS deactivation option:

When Haketilo injects some payload into a page, it always blocks this page's native scripts. It doesn't matter whether you have configured it to block all JS or not - this does not affect pages that get modified by Haketilo.

Now, for pages where there's no payload to be injected, Haketilo can either block their scripts (and then it functions just like any other content blocker, e.g. NoScript) or leave the page untouched (thus allowing its native scripts to execute).

Simple rule:
If you are using some other tool like uBlockOrigin or LibreJS to block bad scripts, you can keep relying on that and configure Haketilo to allow scripts globally. If you instead want to have Haketilo handle all script blocking, you can do that as well

> Haketilo is great and long awaited.

Great to hear that :)

> About google drive: you can use jdownloader (GPL3) for pretty much every file service imaginable.

That's very good to know about, thanks! In the future this can also be useful to Haketilo to port/reuse the site-specific download code to JS :)

Lol! I think I now see what their bussiness model is...

Btw, there don't seem to be any release tarballs and the web view for the subversion repo seems to be password-protected. Not a big issue, thought, because I could just[1]:

svn co svn://svn.appwork.org/utils
svn co svn://svn.jdownloader.org/jdownloader/browser
svn co svn://svn.jdownloader.org/jdownloader/trunk
svn co svn://svn.jdownloader.org/jdownloader/MyJDownloaderClient

Unfortunately, I doubt the function used by Jdownloader for indexing Google Drive qualifies as form of source most suitable for modifications...

function read(str) {    
    var gdijsorg_0x1207 = ['join', '645298GrGsiK', '8269zzjDhb', '28wpErfD', '11eoSBcm', '3578714TboDnQ', 'slice', '52214BJnTpj', '14039GF
HzjM', '187451gnBzKk', 'substr', 'reverse', '1262156NwMIzh', '2nDedhJ', 'split'];
    var gdijsorg_0x570bf1 = gdijsorg_0x158f;

    function gdijsorg_0x158f(_0x32bcea, _0x29ebfd) {
        _0x32bcea = _0x32bcea - 0x150;
        var _0x1207c1 = gdijsorg_0x1207[_0x32bcea];
        return _0x1207c1;
    }(function(_0xbbe83c, _0xbbffd8) {
        var _0x2feec5 = gdijsorg_0x158f;
        while (!![]) {
            try {
                var _0x5d3639 = parseInt(_0x2feec5(0x15c)) * -parseInt(_0x2feec5(0x150)) + -parseInt(_0x2feec5(0x15b)) + -parseInt(_0x2fee
c5(0x157)) + parseInt(_0x2feec5(0x151)) * parseInt(_0x2feec5(0x152)) + parseInt(_0x2feec5(0x153)) * -parseInt(_0x2feec5(0x156)) + parseInt
(_0x2feec5(0x158)) + parseInt(_0x2feec5(0x154));
                if (_0x5d3639 === _0xbbffd8) break;
                else _0xbbe83c['push'](_0xbbe83c['shift']());
            } catch (_0x2894d2) {
                _0xbbe83c['push'](_0xbbe83c['shift']());
            }
        }

...and it goes on like this for about second times this many lines. See src/org/jdownloader/plugins/components/GoogleDriveDirectoryIndex.js in Jdownloader's 'trunk' repo if you don't believe ;)

Also, the 700+ MB of Jdownloader's sources is more than half of Linux sources size which makes me scared... Just joking, most of this is a bundled build of ffmpeg for 3 architectures :)

the extension wouldn't allow uploading to google drive, only browsing and downloading from google drive, so other people's stuff they link to.

As well many people signed up for Google before they were enlightened and they may not see a great alternative.

I looked at the page again and installed this beta2.

From the wiki main page, I did not guess that "Releases" was the link to the actual files to download. From the news page, it is explicit that this link will provide the files to download, while from the main wiki page, it isn't and I suspect a number of people might get stuck there (it took me some time to find out).

Perhaps repeating the link from the installation instructions would be good too.

With abrowser on Debian, the signature checking is disabled but abrowser still refuses to install the extension, so I used the "global install". The scripts are presented as if they would run alone but the second script requires variables only defined in the first script to work. Besides, I'd mention that one needs to put #! /bin/bash (or whatever shell) first and use chmod u+x to make it executable.

I used it again with Google Drive, as I am accessing something that requires authentication, I need to toggle everything to be allowed. After I was authenticated, initially, when trying "search for custom resources", it said nothing was found. I had to change directory several times before it finally found it and then, it works fine in whatever directory.

The only issues are that:
- in the folder and document names, the character é is shown as é (of course there are problems with other French language characters, I am only mentioning the most common one)
- there is only English for Haketilo's menus and in the page (view, download, folders, files, go up)

I can provide French translations if there is a reasonably easy way to do that.
