Bug ID: 392888 Summary: Allow setting a "default status filter" in settings, for when Quick Filter is hidden Product: akregator Version: 5.7.2 Platform: Exherbo Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org Reporter: eternal...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Note: I'm on 5.7.3, but Bugzilla doesn't have that yet, so filing against 5.7.2. In Akregator, article status filtering and title filtering are both tied to the "Quick Filter" bar. However, this forces a number of problematic trade-offs: - If the filter is visible, various cases cause keyboard focus to move to the filter input, resulting in shortcuts (such as "d" for "mark read") instead causing the filter to kick in - If the filter is not visible, the article status filter is reset (this behavior was introduced somewhere within the past year, and while it makes sense from a "invisible settings are liable to confuse the user", it also makes my use case impossible) The vast majority of the time, I want: - To only see unread articles - To not have the filter bar visible or a valid target for keyboard focus Occasionally, I want: - To see all articles, or - To filter articles, or - Both If there was an item in settings, that set the "default status filter" (all/unread/new) for when the Quick Filter bar was hidden (and thus would also set that dropdown appropriately on reset), this would make Akregator much easier for me to use with my workflow (which the reset-on-hide behavior regressed). (For a while, I worked around the reset-on-hide behavior by manually setting the appropriate fields in akregatorrc, but it's just recently stopped accepting status filters being set while the Quick Filter bar is hidden.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
