Description Tom Littauer 2016-12-02 01:31:17 UTC

This is in freshly installed OpenSuSE LEAP 42.2

Previous versions of Akregator has a combo box that allowed the user to elect to see all messages or just the ones that haven't been read yet.

This combo box seems to be missing.

Am I just not seeing it or is it really gone?

I used the option to quickly scan messages and then come back later in the day or week when I have time to read. Yes, you flag unread messages with a different color but with busy feeds it's not efficient to scroll through looking for a different color.

Lack of the option is a deal breaker for my use of the product.

It's there, but not obvious. That media-player-like icon in the search field is clickable and opens the old context menu.

Comment 2 Tom Littauer 2016-12-15 23:19:21 UTC

You're absolutely correct, it wasn't obvious (at least to me) and the response is correct and timely.

Thanks so much.

I like to use defaults wherever I can as it eases upgrade woes so I'm glad I can continue to use Akregator.

I did Google for an answer but didn't spot it. Here's hoping the bug report (and answer) help somebody else.

Bravos to: Andrei Slavoiu

Failing to address trivial problems like this drives people away from products.

Well done.
