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

Ah ok.

Right, yes my flagged items means that they are to be saved, so that clears
that one.

Regarding having read ENTIRE feeds and marking them as read, then you're
right, that is where the interace doesn't make things very easy.

Effectively the easiest way I can see this working is for when you click on
the feed itself in the left side bar, this renders that line in a normal
text (compared to bold text for an unread feed). You then click on those
items that you would like to mark as unread in the individual list on the
right hand side. This action makes the left hand sidebar feed to become bol=
d
again. I know this looks fiddly I guess, but it's one way of dealing with
things. This action is based on how I read my feeds no via sage in FireFox.

The alternative is for you to click on read all items in the right hand
side, to render all the items as read, and that will in turn make the left
hand side feed as normal text (i.e mark that particular feed as read).

I'm not sure which feature works best for everyone. My personal preference
is for the first method, however I can see merit in the second method as
well.
