I find this rather offensive, since I tried my best to provide all the
required info until now.
And, by the way, I already said how I trigger updates[1]. Also, when starting
the application, the
updates are automatically triggered.
I didn't really read the original reference. And I do admit being impolite.
No problem.
Nonetheless I identified the problem. You do massively mark posts
as important (flagged). Which is not forbidden, but was totally
unexpected by me when I implemented the merging algorithm.
Heh :-) . I usually do that so I can come back to them at any time I want to do read about the
subject of the post. Is a way of archiving for me (since I saw is he only way to make liferea keep
those posts from being lost into nothingness).
Flagged items do have the property of never being dropped from
Which is good :-), from my PoV.
cache, but at the same moment we have a cache limit that the merging
algorithm has to cope with. And the current calculation is simple: if the
cache limit is 100 (like in your case and per default) and there are 100
(or more) flagged items that must never be dropped, then there is just
no room to add new items.
kaboom :-)
As a temporary workaround you should increase the cache limit for
all affected feeds (like the Debian Planet feed).
I have, but it seems it already "lost" some of the items of the day... I'll probably change the
limit first, then upgrade once more to the new format ;-) .
For a real solution I need to think of something like having a soft
cache limit that might be extended to
<# flagged items> + <# items in downloaded feed>
That is probably what would work for my case.
Arghh... I don't like changing the merging mechanism...
Tough luck :-) . But I appreciate this, and kudos for liferea.
(BTW, I'll probably send another BR about it disrupting with my desire to have low battery
consumption since it does polling and wakes up the CPU rather often.)
