Keep only newest news feed downloaded?
I was wondering. Is there a way to force calibre to delete old news feeds? I noticed on the scheduler it says delete more than 1 day; however, I can't seem to get it to work the way I assume it should. I notice I will have news feeds dated for instance sept 9 then 10th and 11th.
My question is more of this: Is there a way to make it only keep the latest instance of a news feed regardless of the date. Like look at the modification date/time and only keep the newest one? I take and download news feeds for like the ajc and so forth several times throughout the day and find myself having to manually delete the old ones in the process. If the option doesn't exist would it be possible to implement in a future release? Thanks. |

The delete downloaded news older than x days option should do the trick for you. Is it not working when you set it to 1?

Yeah is there a way to specify that it just keep the most recent? I have some stuff set to fetch daily, others weekly, etc.

This may not apply but have you tried the options for news feeds under Preferences - Interface - Behavior? See Attached.

1. Add the function "Delete news from library when it is automatically sent to reader" - as an option in each newsfeed so it's an individual newsfeed setting rather than a global one. 2. Add the function "Delete downloaded news older than x days" as an option in each newsfeed, again so it's per newsfeed and not a global setting. I don't know if either is an easy change, but they would be nice to have. |

Of course, the very best is to post some code that Kovid can just use without having to write it himself. |

Thanks itimpi and Starson17
I searched, and while I found other similar comments in the forum, I couldn't find anything else even close in the tickets area, so I added two. Thanks for the help! |
