A button could also be placed in the Subscribed groups window. Of course the button could be added to the Active Group in addition to the option remaining on the context menu. Hey, maybe a user might have the need to reset multiple groups at once, which would be easy using the context menu. I prefer to see "Reset Group" remain on the context menu, so it can easily be chosen when right-clicking on a subscribed group. I wouldn't normally make a group active in order to Reset it. I don't see "Reset Group" as only useful for an Active Group.

As "Reset Group" is no longer forcing a group update it makes sense for this to be a main item and not under an Update submenu.

This ties in with (3) and the other menus mentioned in (3).
they serve specific purposes as context menus when right-clicking items in various panels/tabs, but they actually make no sense as main menus that are continually accessable, especially not so when you are not looking at the affected tabs.Ĥ) all items on the "Active Group" menu should be disabled when "No Group Selected", because they serve no purpose and only distract from the items/options that are available. The very same goes for the "Searches", "Queues" and "More" ("Log Window") menus and sub-items. This because you cannot see what group (subscribed or otherwise) is actually selected/highlighted inside the Usenet Manager tab, but those menu items ("Unsubscribe","Set Category","Update Group","Reset Group","New Header Count") still manipulate whatever is selected. And even better if a button were placed on a toolbar (along with other group-related buttons) on the "Active Group" tab.Ģ) IMHO "Reset Group" is not the clearest of descriptions for clearing&purging group cache files (as I mentioned earlier).ģ) the first 4 items on the "Groups" -> "Subscribed Groups" submenu are somewhat confusing when one is looking at any other tab than the Usenet Manager. Might make things more clear if they were just put on as main items instead of in a submenu. I have a few more related suggestions on things that appear confusing to me.ġ) as it is now, "Update Group" and "Reset Group" are both subitems of a "Update Group" menu. Group cache files *without* starting a new group update. *: The 'reset group' feature will now delete the stored Unsubscribing and resubscribing during the same NL session won't delete the group's cache.
Actually, you can unsubscribe and the next time you start NL just subscribe to the group again if you want to see it on the sub'd list. Maybe you wanted to leave it on the sub's list, but as you are not planning on using the group in the near future this might work for you. Well, I guess a "clear cache" button could be included with group options if/when they will be able to be set per group, not globally.ĪFA as the current reason that you are needing the option, aside from Smudge's suggestion, you could simply choose the group and unsubscribe. Would be nice if a simple button push would accomplish the same.

To do this as it is now, I have to make sure the group is Unloaded (or quit NL) then go to the Newsleecher\data\cacheV3\groups dir using Windows Explorer and manually delete the nc1 and nc2 files for the group in question - otherwise these files will remain.
