5 please display feed title in item view - ID: 1835698
Last Update: Comment added ( pochu )

In versions of liferea up to 1.0.14, the item view contained all metadata
about the currently-viewed item:

- the author
- the date
- the post title
- the feed's title

I notice that 1.4 now no longer displays the feed title by default. This
is suboptimal; I often cannot read the feed title in the feed list to the
left, since I tend to keep that pane at a narrow width.

Please consider this a feature request to restore display of the feed title
at all times, or to allow this to be enabled in preferences.

cheers!

Lars,

Your rationale sounds good to me, and I agree not showing the feed title
in the item list is better.

It's just that here, with latest trunk, I have a folder with some feeds, a
few of them without a favicon. If I select the folder, then go to one item
from the feed without favicon, the feed title isn't displayed under the
item title (it says "archived in <foo>", and "creator <bar>", but no feed
or title or whatever.

Avoiding to display the feed title when it is not necessary to save screen
space is a feature/behaviour introduced with 1.4.

The handling is the following:
-> If a single feed is selected: never show the feed title, because the
user knows what feed he has selected (or a short look to the left will
tell).
-> If the item list shows items of multiple feeds and the current item's
parent feed has no own favicon the feed title is listed as "Source: <feed
title>" below the item title. If a favicon exists it is shown in the item
title and the assumption is that the user thereby can identify the parent
feed.

I'd prefer not to merge your patch, because this is an intended
behaviour.

Please tell me what you think!
