The 'Right click - Mark all old' -feature does not work.

I use this feature in combination with an always enabled filter to mark all posts old without having to
- disable the filter and
- select all posts
- and use the Mark Posts Old-feature (DEL).

Suggestions for another way of handling this 'marking old' habit of me are welcome
A shortcut for 'Mark all old' is also welcome.

Well, there's currently some oddities going on with marking posts old, this is another thing that's not currently working, it seems. Good catch. I don't think anything needs changing, just getting this in order should work well I think. There already is a customizable shortcut for MAO, and I'm sure it works perfectly...if the actual operation was hooked up.

Ya crap, I got it to now. I got lots of post that won't go away until display age of 3 days passes, then I don'r see them. I marked them old over and over...

That might be another issue, I've been seeing something similar, Quade and I have been gabbing about it on IRC. He's been having trouble reproducing. It appears to be tied up with the download marker file. I renamed that, started newsbin and it went away. Beware, this will lose all records of what's been downloaded. Anyway, hopefully get it hammered out soon.

Just an update on this, if you subscribed to a group that didn't have frequent posts, what was happening is the last things posted would get snagged and re-snagged each session as part of an overlap feature. In an internal build, Quade has disabled this by default and it's dealt with this problem. You'll still be able to re-enable the overlap feature per server, it just defaults to off now.

This will likely make it in the next release...

Seems to have fixed my issue to.

Seems fixed, except that the behaviour after MAO is different from V5:
posts are marked old, but are not removed from the open group-tab.
