Description hyper_ch 2008-09-12 19:45:56 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I changed my default order from "top (=newest) to bottom (=oldest)" entries to "top (=oldest) to bottom (=newest)" entries. The reason for that is that I sometimes accidentally click on the sort columns. So I hope to circumvent that when the new feeds are on the bottom.

The problem however is, that Akregator does not remember it's specific position within the single feeds but it uses the position of the previous one.

I can show this best with an example.

In this screenshot I scrolled totally down The Register feed to the bottom:

Then I changed to the symlink.ch one:

As you can see, this feed is also at the bottom. That's because Akregator still remembers the entry from the previous (The Register) feed. As The Register has over 600 entries and symlink.ch only just about 50 entries, it is therefore scrolled to the bottom.

However when I now change back to The Register I get this here:

Now, again Akregator remembers the position from the previous feed (# 53) and it shows that one highlighted, instead of the one I had selected when I left this feed before.

So, as solution/change/feature request I see three options:

(1) Add a function that can enable/disable the sorting columns on request;

(2) automatically jump to the newest entries when changing a feed; or

(3) remember at what position each feed was when it is being changed to another one.

I have a similar problem: when I quit and restart akregator, it very often changes the geometry of the message board with the tabs "Title", "feed", "author", "date" at completely different proportions. This is pretty annoying cause akregator is otherwise a phantastic program.

Also, I usually have the "feed" tab disabled from view. But it keeps coming back when I restart akregator. (It does not come back at every restart, only sometimes, still trying to figure out when.)
