6.70 beta 6 does not mark already downloaded posts

Postby RayMark » Sat Mar 05, 2016 12:53 am

What is beta 6 anyway?
There is nothing about it in the version history or here.

However, one thing is very bad: The posts that are already downloaded are not shown as such. I went back to beta 5 - everything is OK again, they are shown as already downloaded. So the bug is in beta 6 or incompatibility with some data needed to show posts as already downloaded.

So far I saw this with the internet search, when no group is specified.
Quite possibly: when the results are in unsubscribed groups where I have no local headers.

Because I see posts correctly marked as downloaded even with beta 6:
- when I open a subscribed group
- when I search locally
- when I run the internet search - in subscribed groups where I have local headers.

However, when I go back to 6.70 beta 5 - the posts are correctly marked as already downloaded even in unsubscribed groups with no local headers.
So please, can this be fixed in beta 7? Because if the beta 6 behavior continues it would be very difficult to use the internet search with newer versions.

Yeah it's probably a search issue. Thanks.

All the downloaded posts are marked for me in 6.70 beta 6.

Yeah headers still tag properly but the Usenet search isn't tagging before the posts are displayed.

I've fixed it already. We'll have a new Beta Sunday or Monday.
