disable (flash) plugins when images are disabled
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Since last month I started to navigate internet with images loading disabled: it is faster, but the flash animation(especially flash advertisements) are still loaded and consume my time(they are big). I want disabled (flash) plugins when images are disabled . . . or should I go to elinks text browser (it does not load flash&images => fast browsing) ?
Please click the download,there register at KDE bugs and post o comment or wish.
Here is a response from the kde netscape plugins programmer :

I won't implement code that checks for flash specifically and disables it. (That will be closed with wontfix.) I also won't implement code that disables plugins when images are disabled, but I won't close that one as wontfix.

I think its incredible dumb not to add a flash shut off feature to konq. Who knows, maybe Macromedia is paying them not to.

I think we should start a petition to enable temporarily disabling flash adds...
Or, better yet, disable a particular flash add...

Well, at least there is the option in konq to disable *all* plugins for specific websites and by now I haven't seen a website that uses flash *and* other plugins, so for me it's ok. Just go to the konq-settings, plugins, domain specific settings.
I hope I never find an "important" webpage where flash kills my browser but I do need some other plugin to use the page.

Although flash _could_ be used for useful stuff ... it's only used for stupid (ad) banners and stupid site intros, that are good for nothing but wasting bandwidth, and hogging the cpu. Has anybody besides me noticed how much CPU that dumb flash plugin eats ? With 3-4 tabs each with 1-3 flash animations my box gets quite unresponsive (Celeron 633) ...
Also it's unconvinient to go to the plugins configuration and kill it there when you quickly wan't to browse a site which uses flash for navigation and then turn it off again in the plugin config ....

And whenever you need to work with flash you can 'scan for plugin', and lo, you get flash back.
I hope that was easy on konqueror developer's part, checking for .swf in a page and disabling/removing the plugin!
