Gas Mask 0.6 on Lion.3 crashed when I did combine a big entry because I found 
this site.
http://sysctl.org/cameleon/
In addition, I did not restore from crash when I did not delete the 
configuration file.

I don’t use Gas Mask that often, and I have a lot of stuff in the menu bar
already, so when I start Gas Mask on my laptop, the icon won’t fit on
screen, and I have to switch to Finder or another app with very few menu
items to get to the Gas Mask interface.

I would like it to be option to have Gas Mask in the doc (and thus
available via Cmd-Tab) instead of the menu bar. That would be awesome,
thanks :)

Should be in ~/Library/Application Support, not in ~/Library.

Minor thing, but organized systems work when we all do our part :)

It would be really cool to have an option which enable automatic switching 
between gas mask configurations, depending on current IP.

Every day, I switch my laptop from professional network to home network, thus, 
some of my professionnal hosts should be resolved differently (either with 
internal or external IP).
It would be nice to have this switched automatically when connected to a 
network.

WDYT ?

What is the Update Interval setting for, found under Pref>Remote?

No documentation and if the host is directly changed, not sure why there would 
be an interval.

In my use case, I have a base set of localhost file mappings that configure my 
development environment, and occasionally get updated with new subhosts. These 
are always the same, and always active.

In combination, I then sometimes have overrides of live domains for production 
systems which toggle between different staging environments and the real thing.

It would be incredibly useful to be able to break apart my hosts files into 
separate pieces: “Localhost Development”, “Pre-Production 1/2/3” and 
“Blocked IPs”, for example, and then activate multiple files at once, 
rather than just a single file. In this case, Gasmask would simply concatenate 
the files.

This could either work by allowing multiple files in the sidebar to be selected 
(previewing the concatenated file on the right) and then clicking 
‘Activate’ to override /etc/hosts with the combo, and/or alternatively 
setting some fragments as global (e.g. the localhost dev, or the blocked hosts 
files) and then keeping them enabled when swapping between other configurations 
from the menu bar drop down.

…Or a template/include mechanism in the host files themselves…

Erm, there are a few ways to approach this, clearly.

Thanks!

It would be great to switch between hosts files with hotkeys like:
keycombo + up, keycombo + down
or
keycombo + 1, keycombo + 2 .. keycombo + n
etc.

If it is possible. 

Highlight valid IP-addresses,
add support for IPv6,
underline invalid hosts names.

Study possibility of using Keychain for authorization

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Gas Mask
2. Start Gas Mask (with GUI)
3. Close Gas Mask
4. Start Gas Mask (No GUI)

I totally uninstalled and installed and this reproduced the problem.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When starting Gas Mask there is no GUI


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Gas Mask 0.5.1, OSX 10.6.7


Please provide any additional information below.
Installed and everything was fine. As soon as I closed Gas Mask and tried to 
open again there is no GUI.
In Activity Monitor I see it running. When I kill the process and start again, 
only the process is started.

In Disk Utility a repair permissions message came;
2011-05-26 06:37:31 +0200: ACL found but not expected on "private/etc/hosts".
2011-05-26 06:37:31 +0200: Repaired "private/etc/hosts".

In Console I see nothing worth mentioning;

Create icon for "hst" file. It will be used in Finder and other applications 
which show file icons.
In the future it will be replaced by QuickLook plugin.

There should be Growl notifications( if you have Growl installed )  when you 
change hosts files 
using hotkeys to get some feedback.

please include a function to do this. either a button, or automatically when 
hosts file is saved.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Start Gasmask
2.Show Window
3.Close Window actually shuts down the program instead of just closing that 
window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the program to continue running like the previous version and the 
window just close instead.  I am seeing the program shutdown

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.5 OS X Snow Leopard

Right now host files are stored in "~/Library/Gas Mask". They should be stored 
in "~Library/Application Support/Gas Mask" instead.

Clean log file on startup.
Create LogUtil class for logging related tasks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Select active item from the select list.
Item shouldn't be deactivated (see the attachment).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a hosts file
2. Add an entry, and end the file at the end of that line (without a new line)
3. Attempt to use that entry

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to be able to use that entry, but instead it acts as if it 
doesn't exist.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.5.1, on OSX 10.7.2

It'd be nice to avoid this by just automatically adding a new line to the end 
of files if they're required.

Removing last item in the group selects first item in the next group. It should

Fix HostsMainController.neighbourHostsFile

Create PDF format user guide.

Opened program, clicked on gas mask icon, clicked on hosts file "hosts" and
instead of opening the editor, it completely deleted the file without
warning. Now I have absolutely no copy of my hosts file anywhere. This is a
huge issue.

How do I go about getting my old hosts file back?

The keyboard shortcut cmd-w should close the gas mask window.

Additionally there should be a menu item File->Close Window

Fix syntax highlighting

Create Estonian translation

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Gas Mask & install a big HOSTS block list, for example: MVPS.
2. Open Activity Monitor.
3. Visit a website with a lot of look ups, like IMDB.com

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
DirectoryService pegs CPU usage over 200% percent.

This does not happen with a short HOSTS file.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest v0.5.1.

Please provide any additional information below.
I know you can say Gas Mask has 1 purpose, and it does do that despite this 
issue.

However, another way to look at this is that Gas Mask is meant to enable 
effective blocking (HOSTS is just the implementation), so perhaps new versions 
of Gas Mask can consider this workaround?
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100713190059936

Would be great if with Gas Mask we could get the advantage of effective HOSTS 
blocking, without the huge CPU overhead that OSX now imposes. 

The above link enables just that, but the process is a little more involved 
than most would like. If Gas Mask could simplify the process, it would be the 
greatest release evar! :P

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open the editor window
2. close the editor window
3. gasmask itself quits

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect gasmask to continue running in the background.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
mac os x 10.6.7 and gasmask version 0.5.1

Please provide any additional information below.

Closing the editor window shouldn't quit gasmask.

Avoid external applications to modify hosts file

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Lion
2. Try to add a line in Gas Mask
3. Save the hosts file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is that it works.  It doesn't work anymore.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Gas Mask 0.5.1, OSX Lion

I had a crash with the 0.5 release under Snow Leopard. Crash log is attached.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Usually when dealing with any kind of 'code' a fixed-width font is used
because it makes text lign up better than more dynamic fonts. I love monaco
on mac and use it in all my code editors. I think Gas Mask is the same kind
of application and that the hosts syntax would be easier to read with
Monaco. Try it out and see how it looks, I think you'll find it makes sense.

Remove inspector

Hi,

great program... I just learned about working with the /hosts file and I'm
glad to find a program that makes it possible without a lot of
(error-prone) steps. 

One thought: would be nice if new hosts files were created with the default
content for OS X -- the basic four lines:

127.0.0.1   localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

They can obviously then be deleted; but it acts as a kind of backup/clean
start if anyone buggers up their original file.

Thanks for making this,

LMN

Adding remote file "http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt" gives error 406.

Fix cell

When I use Gas Mask to change to a different hosts file, use it for a while and 
then switch back to 
the original hosts file, the DNS cache still holds values from the old hosts 
file.

So after using Gas Mask I use the command:

dscacheutil -flushcache

to flush the DNS cache.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to build that functionality into Gas Mask?

Cheers,

Mark.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.add a host file
2.save the file and push the activate button
3.ask me to put in my password
4.then nothing happened,and not see a sign that the host file is chosen

Make everything translatable.

Create branch for 0.5 called "version-0.5"

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Gas Mask
2. Add a new hosts file


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect that Gas Mask copies my existing /etc/hosts file into the
application as the first file in the sidebar. Then I could copy it into a
new one and make changes. 

Instead it seems that Gas Mask completely destroyed my old hosts file and
replaced it with an empty document. 


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.4 on snow leopard.

Please provide any additional information below.
I think it would make a lot more sense to backup the old file and show it
to the user as the first config. This would help people understand what Gas
Mask is doing as well as avoiding the many situations where people have no
backup of their hosts file and can't figure out how to get back to the
state they had before installing gas mask. 

If you don't want to add this feature then you should add warnings on the
gas mask site that people should manually back up their /etc/hosts file
before installation. I'm lucky I had Time Machine to go back and fetch an
old copy of my hosts!

Thanks for the software! It's beautiful and easy to use but this one bug
really had me scared for a second.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. OK on Snow (OS 10.6.8)
2. Gas mask doesn't seem to activate and checked it in Lion Mac OS 10.7.1.
3.

Feature Request:

Allow for an optional "base" hosts file, which could then be automatically 
included in/merged with all other hosts files.

Really handy for local network config etc, which you always need, combined with 
different sets of remote hosts modifications.

Make left hosts bar look like one in Finder, iTunes etc.

If one makes window full screen, then left view is wider than allowed.

If window is resized using handle on the right bottom corner everything works 
as expected.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create new hosts file (lion)
2. Double click hosts file name
