I'd like to have ability when I press on folder, that all post from all feeds that belongs to folder will be displayed. I know I can see them in Browser as newspapers. But it's really not practiacl.

If you're talking about in the news list view (the middle or top pane), search the forums - this has been a long time request, but it's probably not going to happen - it is a programming nightmare trying keeping what is shown as read in that pane vs what is shown as read in the newspaper in sync when dealing with multiple folders - it would severely impact the performance of the application, so the choice was made wayyyyyy back when to keep that pane blank when a folder is selected.

I don't think it so nightmare. Basicly this ability is already there. You can see all of posts in Newspaper window with all of needed actions. So only change is to show this posts in middle / up opst window. And still it's not so hard to make one select from posts by directory. Then use direct links to their actions. I don't know exactly what's the DB model of feeds / posts so i can't tell right. But still don't see so big problem in programm implementation. Something that some other readers can do easily.

You know, that is one of THE most annoying responses programmers face. "It's not that hard" - You have NO idea - you don't know the source code, the controls used in each part of the application. Nick has stated on more than one occasion the reason it will not be implemented. Trying to keep the control he uses for the middle pane in sync with the newspaper is a major support headache. You think it isn't that hard? Make your own feed reader then. Until you do, you have no place to say "it's not that hard".

I'm programmer too. So basically i KNOW. I did some similar things before. So in theory there's need to have one list per folder, that will be synchronized with list of items that is already there.
Yes telling that it's not so hard is maybe a lot, but still it's possible. So just don't blame me when I try to use my point of view.
I appreciate this work. Just don't judge me when you have no proper informations about my view.

Best regards...

But you are not building this particular application and do not have access to the source code, so NO, you DON'T know, and I can and will tell you that.
