Disabled group functionality 6.31RC4

Postby magician1962 » Sat Mar 24, 2012 8:27 pm

Ok, I am looking for clarification of what is expected.

I have a number of groups disabled, where I have stopped downloading new headers but am slowly working through whats there, and downloading items as required.

In the groups list, I double click a disabled group I want to see the contents of, but I just noticed a task was added to the Download List to Download Headers for the group. Is this correct in that by looking in a group it should download headers when disabled, or is it a bug?

I just noticed this in RC3, but as RC4 was available I gave it a try

Disabling just prevents the groups from being updated up when you do an "Update" with the main update button (or when periodic updates fire off). What you're doing is manually overriding enabled/disabled by double-clicking.

So, yeah it's expected behavior. Right click load or Ctrl-G should load without update.

Thanks Quade, had never noticed the behaviour before, and wondered if something had crept into the code.

Its Right Click Load Posts from now on :)
