Description

These three feeds contain new, unread items after everytime they have been refreshed. (Meaning everytime they have been fetched and parsed again.) All three feeds validate, but there the reoccurence has probably something to do with the validator's recommendations or something.

Marking them as read keeps them read until next refresh cycle.

* http://basket.kde.org/basket.rss (valid, but with recommendations)

I have added the feeds, but have yet to see the effect you speak about. What's your purge interval? If it's too small, feeds which are rarely updated can produce duplicates (because old items sometimes get purged and reimported again). This is a known thing but unfortunately can't be reliably fixed for the time being (it's basically a race condition between importing and purging).

My purge interval is set to 20 minutes for all feeds.

You are thinking about update intervals. Purging is measured in days or weeks.

Oh! Yeah. Sorry. It is set to 30 days.

I have ‘Update post on checksum change’ enabled. That might be what is causing the problems. But do note that I have that option enabled in a desktop reader I am testing too. It does not show theese three feeds as unread all the time.

Check another option - "Set articles as unread on update". If it is disabled, then it's the race condition with purging I wrote above (it was around for quite some time, known bug).

11/18/07 16:46:30 changed by daniel

That option is enabled. Then this might be the same bug.

11/18/07 18:19:16 changed by fox

Try disabling it and see if it stops then.

It appears that disabeling the ‘Set articles as unread on update’ option fixed the problem. What does that option really do; and how is it related to my problem?

I have not seen these three feeds reapear once the last hour.
