Hi all, I've been compiling the last few beta versions of Pan for NetBSD, and I started to use it too. I have some remarks about things in the user interface that are in my view a step backwards compared to the 0.14 series. The latest version I tried was 0.113. 0.114 is compiling now.
- Drag-select doesn't work anymore even though it is a basic GUI concept. This is very inconvenient, I would call it a showstopper. - If you choose a primary newsserver and one or more secondaries, you get duplicate articles, so you can't just select a range of articles to download because it will download too much. This is very inconvenient, I would call it a showstopper. - How are the different (primary) newsservers related anyway? I can't seem to choose between them or anything. - I'd like my times expressed in 24 hour format please. - If I "Save articles" I always get the ^***&*& dialog, instead of just saving the attachments in the default directory as set for the group. Worse, the dialog has the wrong pre-selection, it always selects "custom path" even if I previously selected "Group's default path". - There isn't even a "Group's default path" option in the dialog if you didn't set something for the group; there is apparently not a global default path. - In the "task list" I can't see with which server a task is associated, which is inconvenient in case of very slow fallback servers for instance. - Something which is not really Pan's problem but of the posters: if there are multiple numbered posts with the numbers near the start of the Subject rather than near the end, all the [01/40] articles are grouped together even if they don't belong together.
