Description Ben Boeckel 2007-10-10 03:24:00 UTC
Version:           1.2.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

Description of problem:
When an RSS feed does not mark timestamps on its articles, Akregator put then 
at the top when sorted by date with the newest first.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdebase-3.5.7-13.1.fc7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a feed that does not mark articles with a timestamp (example: 
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/index.xml)
2. Sort the feeds by date with newest first (when the unmarked feed and 
another marked feed are in the category)
  
Actual results:
Newest-first sorting leaves lots of old articles at the top because they lack 
a timestamp.

Expected results:
I would expect to have Akregator push them to the bottom of the list when 
sorted either way and when new articles are found without timestamps, at least 
mark them locally with timestamps that tell when the article was fetched.

This is somewhat similar to bug #166495.
Comment 2 Frank Osterfeld 2008-10-27 22:45:44 UTC
We use the fetch date as date if the feed doesn't specify a pubdate.
Considered fixed in >= 4.1.2, please reopen if you can reproduce it with a recent release.
