New condition operator "doesn't match any previous text"

The doesn't match any previous text operator can now be used to check if the new text change is distinct from any updates present in the change history. For instance, when monitoring a list of available jobs, if a job is added or removed intermittently then this operator can be used to suppress the noisy alerts.

This feature is available on the Web App and will be available on the Desktop App and extension in the coming days.

An update for the desktop app hasn’t been released yet. Were you looking for fix any specific issue?

Is the “doesn’t match any previous text” feature in the free version? I’m not seeing it.

it is available in all plans. make sure to use the modern version (v2) of the condition.

The condition “doesn’t match any previous text” seems only be available when I log in my distill-account (Firefox-extension).

When I’m not logged in the condition is not available in the list of conditions (modern v2).

Could you please change it so that the condition is available without logging in the account?

ah! the firefox extension hasn’t been updated in while due to issues with mozilla store. you will need to use other browser extension of the desktop app to use this.

I have the same issue with the distill firefox extension.

Is it planned to implement the condition “doesn’t match any previous text” in the next update for the firefoxe extension and is there a date when it will be released?

Thanks!

unfortunately, our last few attempts to update the extension were rejected by mozilla. currently there is no eta for the firefox extension update.

I’m also looking for the " doesn’t match any previous text`" option in Firefox.

Could you please provide the updated Firefox extension for download as a xpi-file on your own website or here in the forum or on a free hoster?

Experienced users so can install the xpi-extension in Firefox without using the Firefox extension website.

That would be a nice service for all Firefox user.

Thank you in advance,
Mike

Would be cool if it also allowed for regexp

Thanks & happy new year :clinking_glasses: fellow distillers

that is a good idea. we will probably do that early this year.

“doesn’t match any previous text” has been implemented in an efficient way that involves fetching and comparing content’s hash. as a result, it adds very little overhead and is very fast. the flipside of using content’s hash is that it can’t be used for any other kind of comparison except equality checks.

Hello !
How far in the past this condition check into the history ? or this get reset everyday or every X days/weeks/months ??

@angus2064 The change history stores the 10 (20 in case of Professional and Flexi plan) most recent changes. The condition “doesn’t match any previous text” will apply to any of these changes displayed in the change history at any given time.

Are there any news when the updated Firefox Add-On will be released?

thanks for checking in. currently there is no eta. we are most likely to pick this up in later half of these year once the current milestones have been accomplished.
