Description uetsah 2009-12-16 13:56:04 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

When clicking an RSS feed in a browser, and choosing to open it with Akregator, it will automatically be added to an automatically created "Imported Feeds" folder.

Usually, you will then drag&drop the feed to whichever folder you want it to actually be in. It is annoying that you will then be left with an empty "Imported Feeds" folder, which you'll have to manually delete after every time you import a feed.

It would be much more convinient, if it was removed automatically whenever it's empty.

To make this functionality more clear to the user, I propose making it a "special" folder, with a modified icon and maybe grey/italics title text - this would make it clear that this is a special folder which Akregator itself takes control over, rather than being a normal user-managed folder. It would have the following two logically consistent properties:

 - automatically created when needed

 - automatically removed when not needed anymore
