Remove/change "mark all as read" button in notification

Open rugk opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Use case/Reasoning

I have some priority notifications, saw two entries I did not care about and saw that "mark all as read" button. I thought it would mark the two entries/notifications as reaed but instead it marked all notifications as read in the whole app in all directories.

This happened twice to me and I regret it totally.🙈

Because obviously I have a pile of feed entries that I have not yet read and did not want to cleanup. I just expected/wanted to mark the ones mentioned in the notification as read/get rid of them.

Another problem/use car coild be that one may accidentally press that button.

Proposed solutions

  • either remove that button. IMHO it does more harm than good.
  • or at least make it only mark the mentioned articles in the notification and not all of them

Perhaps there could be an option to turn off the button instead of removing it entirely. I actually quite like it since it is an easy way to mark all items as read in the current directory. It will only mark all items in the whole app as read if you are on the "all unread items" view.

Actually in settings you can turn this off already. Just disable the 'activate fast access functions'
