[Straw-devel] on removing the subscriptions list from preferences

[Juri Pakaste]

Jan asked on IRC the other day about removing some newly redundant -
thanks to the new stuff in the main subscriptions list - functionality
from the preferences dialog subscriptions list. Here's my slightly more
thought out view on this:

Let's keep the subscriptions preference tab as it is, until all the
manipulation operations can be performed on the main list, and until
subscribe tool can handle all the weird corner cases (that is, until
rssfinder has been modified to use the facilities in URLFetch.)

So, subscriptions list should allow, in addition to modifying feeds and
deleting them also moving them and sorting the list. Deletions and moves
should be possible for multiple feeds at a time. And all this should be
doable with the keyboard.

(Oh, and on the topic of the subscriptions list, something I mentioned
on IRC but I guess no one was awake: is it intentional that right click
also selects the feed? I find it pretty weird.)

Subscriber tool should basically be modified to do async network IO and
it should, as a final option, allow the user to subscribe to whatever
URI he typed, whether or not anything could be found there. I'm not
quite sure how it works ATM.
