Re: [Fofredux-devel] Version 0.92 with and without feed image

[Andrew T. (nilspace) <nil...@us...>]

No Worries - just a difference in vocabulary - which really existed in
FoF and got even worse with some of the new features.

What you are calling "Flagged Items" are what i was referring to as
"Saved Items" - items that I want to save and read later.

Now, previously, "Flagged" had meant the item was marked to have an
action applied to it, typically 'mark as read'. Therefore, you would
click the checkbox to "flag items", then click the "mark flagged items
as read" and it would then actually mark those items in the DB.

If in your layout, the "flag" means "save", then that's all ok.=20
However, where there still is perhaps a UI difference is being able to
"Mark this feed as read" which you can't do from the interface. The
0.92 UI only has "Mark All Feeds as Read", and "Mark all visible items
as read", but no "Mark this feed as read", right?

Anyways, small matter - sorry for the confision. :)
