After playing around a bit with pan I discovered a few things which may help you find the bug. When I mark a group as 'read', nothing gets written to disk until I exit pan, when the following files are saved: newsrc-* posting.xml preferences.xml tasks.nzb group-preferences.xml accels.txt newsgroups.xov Of those, only newsgroups.xov and the newsrc-* files have anything to do with article numbers, so I did some before/after comparisons on those files: newsgroups.xov before 'mark as read': alt.binaries.pictures.animals 2055 1092 3:106143 2:267511 and after: alt.binaries.pictures.animals 2055 0 3:106143 2:267511 Before 'mark as read': newsrc-2:alt.binaries.pictures.animals: 0-267362 newsrc-3:alt.binaries.pictures.animals: 0-103981,104204,104229,104296,104783-104784 After 'mark as read': newsrc-2:alt.binaries.pictures.animals: 0-267511 newsrc-3:alt.binaries.pictures.animals: 0-106143 You can do some comparing of those files, even just by watching the time-stamps on those file after each step you do in pan. That may at least tell you at exactly which step those files are being changed as you mark a group as read, and you can further check to see if the changes are correct. It may take some time and work, but if it's really a pan bug it will be helpful to report your findings. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
