Hi. I used to use BNR2 as my newsreader/newsdownloader. Unfortunately
that app has big problems with stability and memory consumption and
performance.
However since I discovered PAN I havent really looked back. There is
however one small thing that I miss from BNR2, the way it handle
multi-part posts.
Correct me if I am wrong (maybe my settings are not optimised.), but in
PAN if you go into a newsgroup, pan will group all parts of a single
post but not all posts of a multi-part posts as one.
Allow me to give an example since that explanation was probably quite
confusing.
You go into a newsgroup and there you have large Linux iso as a
multi-part post. The poster would usually split the files in to rars as
such:
filename.rar, filename,r00, filename.r01, filename.r02..............etc.
In Pan you would see this as multiple posts like so:
Subject: filename.rar
Subject: filename.r00
Subject: filename.r01
Subject: filename.r02
So if the filename was split into 60 Rars, then you would have to select
each one to download.
In BNR2, the entire multi-part post was available as a single grouped
thread which you could download with a single click.
So you would only see:
Subject: filename.rar
This certainly made things easier with download very large multi-part
posts sind they were displayed as a single grouped and collapsed thread.
Furthermore BNR2 also displayed on the same line how many parts of how
many total parts were available/intact. That way you could easily see if
it was worth downloading or not.
So my question is:
Does Pan have the ability to do something like that? Specifically, the
ability to view multi-part posts as a single collapsed thread.
I'm new to pan and just wanted to make sure that I didnt miss any
configuration settings.
