Add articles to favourites / star articles #1293

Can a method be added to add an article to favourites, for example by starring them? I am using liferea 1.14.4 on Ubuntu 23.04

There is the feature that you can flag articles. Flagged articles are never delete and kept forever. I believe this feature matches your use case.

reahari commented 1 year ago

ok. I didn't realise that that is what flag meant as usually, in other situations, you flag something when there's an error

@reahari Yeah that might be confusing. The funny thing is 20 years ago when I started Liferea and based it on existing mail and nntp clients a lot of them had the flag feature. Somewhere along the way many application that had it from the start exchanged it for the nowadays common :star: icon. Somehow we never did this in Liferea...

Oh wow I didn't realise liferea has been around for that long!

Might it be a good idea to make the switch to a ⭐ icon too?

lwindolf commented 1 year ago

@reahari Will definitively think about it.
