Description Eckhart Wörner 2005-07-03 00:49:09 UTC

Version:           Unbekannt (using KDE 3.4.1, Kubuntu Package 4:3.4.1-0ubuntu0hoary1 ())
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-5-386

With Akregator, it's impossible to subscribe to a feed twice. Therefore, showing the possibility of subscribing to a feed one already subscribed to is useless. Therefore, this action should be removed for this feeds. Alternatives actions discussed are:
- "unsubscribe"
- "show feed in Akregator"
In addition, the feed icon could be changed if one already subscribed to all feeds available, e.g. change to green or get grayed out.

I agree that
 - the subscription state should be visible 
 - there should be a way to unsubscribe

We could add a richer widget than the popup menu (like a list in e.g. the kicker "add applet..." dialog), allowing for more detailed status display and unsubscribe buttons.

when using the icon for unsubscribing as well, graying out is bad IMO as it looks like being disabled then. I'd opt for green plus some change in the icon motive (whatever that could be).
