256058 - Editing RSS feed: disable account level choice in "Store Feed Articles" droplist

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

tested with 2004081801-0.8 (linux fedora core 2).

1. make sure you have at least one RSS subscription in your RSS account, call
this feed1.

2. add a second feed (call it feed2), but add it as a child to feed1, instead of
a child of the toplevel account (News & Blogs). dismiss Manage Subsriptions once
feed2 has been verified.

3. note that articles appear for both feed1 and feed2 (located under feed1).

4. bring up Manage Subscriptions, select feed2 and hit Edit.

5. change selection in "Store Feed Articles" to the toplevel News & Blogs (you
might need to select feed2 then News and Blogs to do this).

Scott mentioned that the problem here is that a new folder for feed1 cannot be
created at the toplevel --unless one first unsubscribes to feed2, then resubscribes.

suggest that the "Store Feed Articles" droplist have News & Blogs be disabled in
the Edit Feed dialog in this case.
