"Debug feed" is useful, but awkward #19

Open ocdtrekkie opened 3 years ago

ocdtrekkie commented 3 years ago

Okay, so I thought I should open an issue about this weird quirk way to fix TTRSS's Powerbox sometimes. It's hard to invoke a feed to try to refresh in TTRSS, so it's hard to demand a Powerbox when you want it. However, the "Debug feed" option, found when right-clicking a feed, does give you this ability! ...But it opens a new tab, which makes this super weird.

  1. Right-click misbehaving feed and select "debug feed".
  2. In new tab opened for debugging feed, you can "Continue" to force a refresh.
  3. You must then switch back to the main tab to answer the Powerbox request.

It would be ideal and super-nice if the debug feed thing launched inside of the Sandstorm frame, so that we could click it and immediately see the Powerbox request. However, that may be annoying to patch in, since it also takes away a quick way back to the main TTRSS UI.

I thought opening this might be informative anyways for anyone looking to troubleshoot their feeds, so maybe if we don't fix it, it's okay to leave this open for people to read?
