Feature / Enhancement Request

_reader · 05-16-2012, 10:07 AM

Hello all,

I usually fetch news on demand using 'download now'. It would be nice to setup scheduling for various news sources so that I could download them all at one time with 'Download all scheduled news sources'.

The interface could be an addition to 'Fetch News' --> 'Schedule News Download':

Days of Week
Days of Month
Every x days
On Demand

I think this enhancement would be useful to others. Do you agree?

Thanks to Kovid and all contributors for this fine program and environment.

Set the schedule to every 365 days, that is functionally equivalent to on demand

Thanks for the info, Kovid, I'll setup that way - but it certainly is not as obvious as my suggestion of a radio button for 'On Demand'.

Thank you for the response and consideration of the suggestion.
