Description Torstein Sunde 2003-03-17 00:01:59 UTC
A watch/ignore subthread function would be nice.

Alternatively, a scoring dialogue that allows scoring on *both*
message-ID and reference, based on the message-ID of the current
article, may do this.  This will probably be less frequently used
than watch/ignore thread, so I don't think it's a problem having
to go through the scoring dialogue.  However, some less technically
oriented users may find the term "subthread" easier to comprehend than
"message-ID" and "references".

Scoring on message-ID is missing in the scoring dialogue anyway, and
would be welcomed.  Maybe that should be filed as a separate bug report,
but the purpose is partially the same.

Comment 2 Torstein Sunde 2003-08-13 00:05:40 UTC
The above patch only adds the ability to score on message-ID in
the "Create Score" menu.  Patched against recent CVS.

Since watch/ignore subthread is still missing, I request that
this bug isn't closed yet, even if the patch is accepted.

A way to watch/ignore a subthread with this patch is to check both
References and Message-ID, then open the scorefile and change
"Score:" to "Score::".  Thus an AND/OR toggle in the Create Score
menu could be useful.  Maybe I take a look into this some time
later...

Mass-bumping of 0.14.2 features to 0.14.3 to make way for an emergency 0.14.2
release.

Comment 6 Torstein Sunde 2003-09-02 22:24:43 UTC
Attachment 19678 [details] adds watch/ignore subthread to the Articles menu
and the right-click menu in the header pane.

Attachment 19679 [details] depends on 19678, but not vice versa.

There's one annoyance left that I think should be discussed:
When ignoring a subthread within a thread that's already watched,
the oldest score (watch entire thread) takes precedence.
A couple of alternative suggestions:

- Insert "set to" scores at the beginning of the scorefile instead
of at the end.  I belive that's more desirable for all "set to"
scores, but others may disagree.  Maybe this also can speed up
scoring, letting Pan skip more of the add/subtract scores?

- Don't let "set to +/-9999" scores take precedence over each other.
Then watch+ignore would result in 0 ("unwatch"), alternatively
either -9999 or the latest score could take precedence.
I guess this may slow down scoring, as Pan can't use stop_scoring"
on an article.

Still missing in the pre-1.0 betas.
Comment 11 Charles Kerr 2007-01-22 05:36:00 UTC
void GUI :: set_selected_thread_score (int score)
could do this with very few changes for 1.0 or 1.1...
Comment 12 Benjamin Esham 2007-07-26 17:29:12 UTC
Adding a vote of support for this.  I read some newsgroups where seemingly every other thread devolves into a flame war, and it would be great to be able to prune those subthreads.
