It was concluded that reseting them every time the user sees another feed is not good, usability-wise. IIRC, it was corrected in KDE 3.4.3 and worked well. I've just installed KDE 3.5 RC1 from SUSE RPM files, and it seems the problem resurfaced. There is no longer a "New & Unread" filter, and it is reset to "All articles" every time I goes to another feed... Thanks for your attention. |

Now there are some recent articles that I see only with the "New" filter, and other only with the "Unread" filter. I have about twenty feeds, so to make sure I read everything I need 2 filter setting changes for each... It's awfully inconvenient. Thanks for your attention. |

In KMail, "New" filters all messages that are new, and "Unread" filters all messages that are either unread or new, as the new flag implies unread. That behaviour should now be the same in Akregator. So in your case, you just have to select "Unread" and get both unread and new messages. |

I think it was simply a mistake from my part. But there is still the annoying issue of the filter resetting itself each time I go to another feed. Will you fix it? |

The usability argument from a few months ago should still be valid, so *not* changing the search bar when changing feeds ought to be the default behavior. Thanks for your attention. |

I almost switch to liferea because of this. |

It should be the default to NOT switch the filter. And you even can remove the option - I can't imagine a person that will prefer to reset filter for each feed. BTW, IMHO it will be better to set default filter value to "Unread", not to "All Articles", I suspect that this will better reflect the common usage pattern - _news_ reading. "All Articles" gives access to the news archive - usefull feature, no doubt, but used only _sometimes_. |

------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116638 ------- Additional Comments From kevin.krammer gmx at 2006-02-04 19:34 ------- I agree that default should be not to switch the filter. I was about to report a bug after upgrading from KDE3.4.3 to 3.5.1 today, when I discovered this entry. Switching to "All" on Feed changing makes Akregator unresponsive for several seconds while it loads and renders the articles of the feed. While I was almost sure that this is likely a configurable behaviour I wasn't able to find it until I read this report. One of the problems is an inconsistent translations, the German menu entry for the search bar is named "Schnellfilter", the configuration option says "Schnellsuche" and the tool itself only displays "Suche" and "Status" |

Is usability so unimportant? In any case, having to reset the filter on every feed change makes Akregator simply unusable (I now have about 60 feeds, which would make 120 spurrious mouse clicks every time I browse for new articles : one to click on the filter dropbox, one to select the appropriate filter). |

Well, I will think about it and ask some usability people if changing the default behaviour between 3.5.5 and 3.5.6 is a good idea.
