11 years ago From Peter.A....@gmail.com on July 21, 2010 16:55:52 This behavior is by design, but perhaps it's time to revisit the thinking behind it. The first time Sage loads a feed, it automatically renames the bookmark using the title from the feed itself. This is to get around the problem of poor labeling that you point out. After that initial load, Sage will only rename the bookmark to match the feed title if you haven't changed it. So after you've loaded the feed once, you can go in and customize the titles of your feed bookmarks, and Sage won't touch them. The problem here is that if you customize the title of the bookmark before Sage gets a chance to load the feed, it will wipe out your changes on its first load.
One solution would be to have a more thorough feed add flow, which loads and names the feed for you as part of creating the bookmark. This way, title changes afterward wouldn't be wiped out when viewing the feed for the first time.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Often, blogs and feeds are given the less-than-creative name of "blog" or "feed". So I carefully renamed them in my bookmarks. Firefox by default never overwrote the change. When I first used the Sage summary page for a feed, it overwrote the bookmark/feed name with the title of the blogs or feed, i.e. they switched back to "blog" or "feed". It does not if you right-click and select "Open All in Tabs", or "Reload Live Bookmark".
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Sage 1.4.6 in FF 3.6.3 on Vista
Please provide any additional information below. Once you rename them back, it seems to leave it alone. It appears to overwrite only on the first time you load it in Sage.
