Description Pierre Fortin 2021-10-13 14:41:12 UTC
Did "Hide read messages" on my claws-mail folder and now, I can/t show/unhide them.
View->Hide read messages  is greyed out.
forderitmeuc:
            <folderitem last_seen="41753" order="0" watched="0" ignore="0" locked="0" forwarded="0" replied="100" total="16137" marked="7" unreadmarked="0" unread="0" new="0" mtime="1634126498" sort_type="ascending" sort_key="date" hidereadthreads="1" hidedelmsgs="0" hidereadmsgs="0" threaded="1" thread_collapsed="0" collapsed="0" path="Linux/claws-mail" name="claws-mail" type="normal">

hidereadthreads="1" and hidereadmsgs="0" ??

Changing hidereadthreads to "0" resolces this issue.

Also, "Hide read threads" greys "Hide read messages"

Suggestion: on the "Hide..." menu items, they should be changed to Show or Unhide; it's illogical to use "Hide..." to Unhide/Show...
Comment 2 Paul 2021-10-13 14:51:38 UTC
I think you are have mixed up the 2 menu items "Hide read threads" and "Hide read messages". Activating one greys out the other. In your initial comment, 'hidereadthreads="1" and hidereadmsgs="0"' shows that you had activated 'hide read threads' and not 'hide read messages' as you thought. 'hide read threads' greys out 'hide read messages'.

I think the use of the tick box on these menu items makes the logic clear,

I don't see any tick boxes. Playing with the hide menu items is starting to make sense; but without tick boxes or changed menu text, it's confusing.
