Description Charles Phoenix 2004-07-20 04:40:11 UTC 
Version:           1.0-beta5 "Pierre" (using KDE 3.2.3, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.6-win4lin-r3

This idea was in Straw.

Here is the scenario... in the morning I read  Slashdot and then do it again in the evening. There are headlines from the day that will be bump because only the 10 most recent headlines are being downloaded. Many aggregators have this behavior.

Instead, I would tell aKregator to save, let's says the last 50 headlines and check every hour. It will store, filter out dupes, and present me with a list of ALL the headlines for at least a day or two. Now it is possible to have a completely headline listing for days, even weeks.

Also along these lines, again from Straw, is the ability to keep any individual headline. That is, it will not be erased and remain permanently part of the listing until I explictly remove it.
Comment 1 Stanislav Karchebny 2004-07-20 08:00:12 UTC 
We discussed that somewhere already (iirc the result was "Expire articles after x days" plus a "Persistent" article marker column).
Comment 2 Sashmit Bhaduri 2004-07-20 17:09:00 UTC 
No reason we can't have both expire articles after XX days and keep XX headlines. If either of these options are on (probably not default), show the "keep" column, else don't.

CVS commit by osterfeld: 

articles can be manually marked as new or read now (added context menu and menu bar 
entries)
