deleting feeds
Hello,
I feel stupid, but how do you delete the feeds that you don't want or that you have already read. I have several channels and I can see how it will feel up fast. Thanks for helping a guy who is a real novice to this RSS thing. I enjoy your program a lot!!!!!!!!!!! [/img]

Right-click on the channel in the My Channels window and choose "Delete channel" or use the File menu.

No problems. Glad you like it

deleting feeds
Thanks for answering so quickly! I actually meant the individual items within the channel. Ex: I want to delete an item ("Dance is on") within my channel "Google Weblog". Hope this clarifies. Thanks again!

Ah. It is currently not possible to do this. Awasu will always show you everything contained in the feed, highlighting unread items. Feeds are supposed to contain a maximum of 15 items so showing them all is generally not a problem.
If other people ask for it, I may add an option to hide items you have already read.
[edit]
BTW, web sites that publish RSS feeds will remove old items from the feed as new ones are added. So it's not like channels will start filling up with items indefinitely. Maybe that's what you were worried about?

news headers
My vote would go for a few headers on the headline panel:
(news) date, time, read, bookmark. One could then sort
the headlines and quickly see what is new, what was read
and what was bookmarked. (I'd also add the ability to sort
the channels and bookmarks - useful if you have a lot of
them).

Hide seen items

Yes, please! This would be extremely useful when monitoring feeds that update frequently - like freshmeat. Especially since I usually read the descriptions, not just the item names.
Also, it would be nice to be able to only see unread items in the system tray many - and maybe even combine all channels in a category to one system tray menu. This way, I could quickly check new items in a category without the need to go into individual channels and pick the items myself.

Here's a quick way of doing a similar thing. If you generate a report that includes new items only, you will get a single page summary of all new items across the selected channels.
Let me know if you need a hand setting up the necessary report config.

Thanks for the tip, works fine!
...except when I click on an item on the report, it isn't marked read. Any way around this?

Sigh... Good point. No workaround for this, I'm afraid. I'll see if I can hack something in for the next beta.
