           Summary: add newsgroup categorization under folders
           Product: knode
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rrs at researchut.com


Version:           0.99.01 (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.29-custom

Problem:
Currently, in knode, a user can subscribe to newsgroups and rename the news
group to his liking. If there are many news groups, the list becomes cluttered
and it is difficult to focus on the high priority ones.
One workaround I currently use is to rename news groups to something like N -
NewsGroupName

This helps me prioritize the news groups on the basis on N.


Before I move further, I'd like the explain the wishlist first.
Akregator has this feature where I can subscribe to hundreds of news feeds and
categorize them under individual folders. Given the above problem statement,
what I do in akregator is is that I add folders like 1 Priority, 2 Priority and
so on. And now I had my favorite feeds to the relevant folders.
Currently, I have 5 priority 1 feeds. All are high volume.
To be fair that none of the priority 1 feeds get starved, I access the feeds
from the "1 Priority" folder. This way I get a fair date wise feed list for all
priority 1 feeds. This is a very cool feature.

My wishlist request is to have a similar model in knode wherein we could add
favorite newsgroups to individual folders and then get a collective listing of
all news in the folder itself.
