I for one have the ‘Hide feeds with no unread messages’ and ‘Mark articles as read automatically’ options enabled. Logically speaking this would produce an empty feed list all the time. Because all feeds would be mark as read and hidden automatically. Logic and option-naming aside;
I want feeds to be hidden when I have read them. When I have a feed open; and want to mark it as read and hide it: I have two ways of doing this: Automatically marked as read, or manually marking it as read. Non of these approaches does, however, hide the current feed. (That would be freakishly annoying with the auto-read option! But much more understandable when manually marking it as read.)
A possible solution would be to add a ‘Mark as read and hide’ button. However the below approach would be much more functional.
I want a ‘Mark all as read and open next unread feed’ button. This button would mark all items in the current feed read, hide it, and open the next unread feed. When there are no more unread feeds; it should hide the current feed and display the stand by screen. (The standby screen currently only reads ‘No feed selected’. But this might change in future releases.)
Yes. This would be yet another Newshutch-like feature request. But the ‘Mark all read & open next‘ button were one of Newshutch's more engenious solutions and one of it's advantage over competing feed readers.
