ever since the upgrade of KDE 5.4 (from version 4), akregator retrieves all the feeds when the session is launched even when it is configured NOT to the parameter in akregatorrc is Fetch On Startup=true when akregator is configured to load all feeds when launched but the same line disappear from the config file when it is unset (maybe the parameter is checked to be "false") the problem doesn't seem to occur when akregator is closed (i.e. quit) and relaunched again Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure akregator NOT to fetch feeds at startup 2. quit session and log in back again 3. akregator is started from previous session Actual Results: all feeds are downloaded while they shouldn't according to the configuration Expected Results: the number of feeds stays the same as before the logout (I usually have a count of unread feeds to be zero, but every time I log on, the RSS feeds are all loaded) it was never the case before in KDE 4.x and previous versions I use version 4.14.10 of kdepim/akregator maybe it's a plasma/launcher/kdeinit/... bug rather than akregator as the regression appeared when migration to KDE 5.x n.b.: this is obviously a minor bug, but I could not define it as such as there is no workaround
This bug has never been confirmed for a Kontact version that is based on KDE Frameworks, except possibly a Technology Preview version 5.0.x. Those versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the opportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it. Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.1 aka 15.12; preferably much more recent), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
