Liferea downloads again and again deleted feed entries

Binary package hint: liferea

1 - I read and delete some entries
2 - Liferea performs an update
3 - all the entries are back as they were all new, undowloaded and unred

This is intended - Liferea deletes all information about deleted items, and when updating the feed the next time it therefore does not know that they were already downloaded and read.

Why are you deleting them in the first place?

[Loïc Alejandro (loic-alejandro)]

Oh, ok I think I understand Liferea philosophy.
Well, I was deleting the entries because I didn't want to keep them. I was keeping only the entries that were interesting to me.

[Adrian Bunk (bunk)]

Liferea's logic is that you flag items you want to keep, and deletion of unflagged items happens automatically based on your cache settings.

[Loïc Alejandro (loic-alejandro)]

Ok, I was used to the orther logic : it keeps downloading and you have to delete the items (rss-plugin for evolution and miro work like that).
I'm ok with liferea logic.
Everything fine :)

As agreed by the reporter in the last comment, all is fine.
