out-of-the-box default and onion rules

I am organizing a group of geographically dispersed people and planning to use hidden services. Some of the people in the group have had trouble getting rule setup.
Though I was able to walk them through setting up, they suggested that since FoxyProxy already has a Tor Wizard, it should also have (at least) 2 pre-setup rules. One for .onion URLs and the default for everything else.
in a way it does,
the default proxy setting handles everything without a pattern & after running the tor wizard you add the pattern *.onion/*
(the default pattern is for Gmail, Google seems to block tor nodes. I guess they had abuse from onionland once in the past.)
if your suggesting changing the default pattern in the wizard to one supporting .onion it's a great idea in my opinion.
but foxy-proxy is so much bigger than tor & onion-land it might be better to teach everyone wild cards instead. to let people explore foxyproxy when exploring tor.
Yes, I agree. FoxyProxy is
Yes, I agree. FoxyProxy is more than Tor.
