Option to not mark articles as read on click

[tomisarobot]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

TLDR; Clicking article links automatically marks the article as read, which conflicts with my desired behavior.

I'm trying to use slick-rss to monitor a "todo" list (like a list of pull requests, for instance) that is stored in another system. I'd like the toolbar count to always show me the status in the other system.

I'd like to click links to inspect the articles, but I can't always resolve it. I'd like more manual control over when articles are marked as read.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to manually mark articles as read. I assume my use case is less common, so an option to turn that on or off sounds great. Other rss feed extensions have this feature, so I think it could be broadly useful.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Another option would be to be able to include the unread count in the toolbar, but I think that's less useful for other folks.

Additional context

When I complete the task in the other system, it will be removed from the rss feed. As desired, slick-rss stops displaying the article when this happens. This is great.

I understand that you want to mark unread with new button to mark read manually. I will add new option to activate it.

I have made updates to decrease the phenomenon but sometimes mark unread doesn't work on all items. It's difficult to fix because it's random and I don't know if it's web page or service worker that is at issue.

For now I'm working on fork of another extension that will be linked to this extension to search links of rss feeds on websites. I have committed too much work to stop it now.

I'll take care of this point right after.

Another option would be to be able to include the unread count in the toolbar, but I think that's less useful for other folks. I don't understand. An option exist to choose where unread are displayed (left menu or/and toolbar). Can you explain what do you mean?

In fact, this system already exists. The cross allows to mark read a feed and "circle arrow" allows to reset feed's status. All I have to do is to disable the fact that clicking on link will read feed.

I understand that you want ... to mark read manually

Yes, and...

Yes! I think with these two additional features it would fit my needs perfectly.

I'll take care of this point right after.

Awesome! I'm very excited to have a rss tool that works for me. I've been trying a bunch of them and this one is simple yet has all the right features.

Thank you so much!

I don't understand. An option exist to choose where unread are displayed (left menu or/and toolbar).

Maybe I'm using the wrong words. I'm talking about article count that displays on the extensions button.

My idea is that I can use this article count to keep track of when I have something in my list of things to do. If the articles stay as unread, then the article count will be correct. If the article count included read articles, then it could also work for my purposes. I think for most other people it would seem incorrect though. I think this is a worse option. Sorry if this just added confusion.

I have made updates to decrease the phenomenon but sometimes mark unread doesn't work on all items.

I haven't noticed this in my testing. Mark unread seems to always work when I manually click it. I don't have a lot of articles in my feeds, so maybe it happens more when you have more articles?

I have add this option.

Be carefull, you must close viewer (main page) after modify option to have option in action.

This new version release will take place this weekend. By the time it is validated, it will arrive on Wednesday or Thursday.

Is there anything else to change that I didn't understand?
