[Feedreader-development] Bugs/annoyances

[Carl Y. <car...@gm...>]

I have been using feedreader successfully for a while now.  Overall I
like the program a lot, especially how fast and lightweight it is, but
I have a few problems/annoyances.  In case these are helpful at all,
here they are:

1) I can't delete a folder that I no longer want.  It is a subfolder
underneath a main folder that is underneath "My feeds".
2) I'm constantly seeing old articles highlighted as being new, even
though I just recently read them.  I also see a number of duplicate
articles.  I'm assuming that this is because the articles are being
updated slightly, or at least something in the downloaded data is
slightly different, and feedreader is assuming that it has downloaded
a new article when in fact it is the same as another article that has
already been downloaded.  There should be a way of identitying a few
very basic characteristics of an article and using these as a unique
index to prevent duplication.  Updates to articles would be written
over old versions, and the user would have the option of flagging
these as unread or not.
3) When a feed gets some new messages, I see many numbers in
parentheses piling up next to the bolded feed text, such as "Slashdot
(7)(7)(7)(7)(7)(7)(7)", but when I click on the feed those duplicate
numbers disappear.
4) It'd be nice to have some browser buttons in the preview pane that
allowed you to move back without having to right-click on a blank area
and click back.

As I think of more issues I'll try and post them.

Thanks,
