There are certain feeds that just keep growing and growing (ie. slashdot), where I’d like to mark most of it as read in order to clean it up and get a better overview. But I’d like to keep the articles that I’ve trained newsblur to hilight. I can switch to focus, but that switches my entire newsblur, which results in me switching back and forth between the modes. It’s a small thing, but It would be quite useful, at least to me.
I’ve got two suggestions on how it might be implemented
-
As a preferences option: [] Don’t mark focused articles as read when marking «all as read»
-
As an extra entry in the right click menu on a feed/folder: «Mark non-focused entries as read» (yes, that terminology needs some work)
