Somebody else made the same comment at the SourceForge forums: they always read from the bottom up, so the flag all up to this item thing is useless.

I’ll try to fix this two ways in the next version:

1) the ability to sort the items. you’ll be able to sort them date ascending, so the oldest items are on top.

2) restore single click mark individual item as read, with a bigger target. There’s plenty of room to fit that in.

I must be a heretic, because I don’t like the replacement of the ability to flag individual items with the ability to flag all items up to a certain one. I don’t necessarily read items linearly, but even when I do, I tend to read from oldest to newest item (up from the bottom) rather than newest to oldest (down from the top), which is what the new flag-all-items-above-current feature almost forces me to do. What I’d like is a choice: I can flag the current item or all items above current one.

That’s awesome, Steve — thanks!

On a separate note, I’ve been having some fun with your Chinese/English translator. I recently went on a tour through Europe and we had one Taiwanese girl, who I have kept in contact with. I’ve been using the tool to “invent” small phrases and to translate things she writes. Half the time I don’t have a clue, but it makes for a good laugh. :)

Hi, I use FOF and thought I’d subscribe to your blog RSS so I could keep up-to-date, but they don’t validate :(

Steve: I wholeheartedly thank you for this, and I endorse the slow-and-steady concept. :)

Great! :-)

Can’t wait for the next version (I really miss codepage detection).
