Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 Stock Slackware 10.1 compiler
OS:                Linux

I use Slackware 10.1 and KDE 3.3.2. I just compiled and installed Akregator 1.0.1.

The wrong ArchiveMode preference value is stored in the configuration file. This results for example in the articles being deleted from the hard drive when the user asked to keep them. Note that it seems that the deletion only occurs after feed configuration has changed (in my case, after enabling custom update interval for various feeds).

Here are the four possible ArchiveMode settings, the text displayed in the dialog box, and what is written in the configuration file. I use Akregator on a French desktop, so the preference values are written in French, with original English string in parentheses.

Conserver tous les articles (Keep all articles)
[Archive]
Max Article Age=30
Max Article Number=990

Limiter la taille de l'archivage de flux à : (Limit feed archive size to:)
[Archive]
ArchiveMode=limitArticleAge
Max Article Age=30
Max Article Number=990

Supprimer les articles plus anciens que : (Delete articles older than: )
[Archive]
ArchiveMode=disableArchiving
Max Article Age=30
Max Article Number=990

Désactiver l'archivage (Disable archiving)
[Archive]
ArchiveMode=limitArticleNumber
Max Article Age=30
Max Article Number=990

So, if the user wants to keep articles by age, they are removed from the hard drive, and so on.
