Re: [Fofredux-devel] Version 0.4

I'll explain what my thinking regarding the action tickbox was all about. I=
t
really is a question of how far we actually want to go down this particular
road.

So here are the options:
1. On the sidebar we have the option to actually select all, unselect, mark
them as read and then mark them as unread. The action ticklist is there to
choose inidivdual items off or on the list that we would like to mark as
read or whatever.

2. We could then go one step further and have individual read tick boxes in
the full items on the right hand side? They could all be done in that light
blue colour and once the check box has been ticked then they turn the grey
colour shown? It would be very easy to edit them as a 'paged', so that work=
s
very well as well. This might neeed some funky ajax going for it (or maybe
not).

3. Regarding marking something and updating an individual feed, we're
'marking' them works best with the action button. Now Kevin you mentioned
saving or unsaving them...we have that functionality? Saving individual
feeds would be very nice. I'd also like a history view as well (this idea i=
s
stolen directly from Feedlounge to be honest, but it works well).

4. One final point about the Updating on each individual feed, I'll include
another icon in there, because it is a good idea to give you full control o=
f
each feed.

5. I think putting the total number of feeds in the admin panel works bette=
r
because that's also where we'll be dealing with the actual editing of the
feeds that it makes sense to put that information there.

6. Finally I'll be looking to not having any links in the sidebar. The
entire line will be a link of sorts that opens up the individual feeds on
the right hand side. You control the links from above and the update icon
discussed above and the action tickbox. I think that makes it less cluttere=
d
and more intuative to the user. It'll become clearer when I sort out my nex=
t
iteration

Which will hopefully come later on this evening.
