Description Charles Phoenix 2004-07-27 23:31:05 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 2.6.7-win4lin-r3

I presume filters are on the to-do-list.

The KMail approach seems well suited since it matches are primary for text.

You can even implement move the virtual folders options.

As a bonus there are x% of people who will know how to use them automatically.

Additional bonus is most of the work has already been done and refined. ;)

According my opinion, this is already in aKregator (beta 3 or later). So this can be closed.

Charles, there's a Speed filter (Search:) input line at the top, i think its mostly enough, you can filter through any subset of your feeds with it, so I don't see the reason for more complex filters now.

Comment 3 Charles Phoenix 2004-08-02 21:57:50 UTC

maybe I should elaborate...

most of the code already exists, so no need to duplicate that effort.

I am talking about things like...
	1) move to vfolder (primarily for this idea)
so I can then select all thing related to the election, move them to an election vfolder, those related to bush in a subfolder bush, those related to kelly in a subfolder kelly

thus

election
	bush
	kelly

	2) mark read (skip things I am not interested in)
	3) delete (get rid of things I will never be interested in)
	4) delete if count exceeds x
		delete if count exceeds x in only the election directory
	5) delete if older than x
		move if older to...
	6) move to vfolder if marked saved
	7) edit headline to...
	8) search description for x
	9) export listing to script (can generate nice html files this way)

notice how implementing a filter based system is adaptable and flexible
so instead of implementing a gui for each configurational item it can be done through a filter.
implementing a new idea is more add item to filter and plug in code, not redo gui
since you are developing the program now is a good time to considered it.

That is all, have a nice day. :)
