  • expand button of article list item to expand the text of selected article in list to read it with pictures not leveing the list
  • new feed edit option "Auto set as read when title was visible"
  • new feed filter method "Remove text" - removes the text from article title or its content

The last features works with the title or the content corresponding to check box selected.

It helps to remove repeating text from article title which often can repeat the site's name. We need to check Apply to title checkbox in this case. For example the filter "Site name" of type "Remove text", applied to such an article list:

  • News 1 caption. Site name
  • News 2 caption. Site name
    will result in:
  • News 1 caption.
  • News 2 caption.
    Also we can remove date, which somethimes appears an article. But in this case we need regex checkbox activated. For example the filter "\d\d.\d\d.\d\d\d\d" of type "Remove text", applied to such an article list:
  • News 1 caption. 01.02.2020
  • News 2 caption. 05.02.2020
    will result in:
  • News 1 caption.
  • News 2 caption.

This new filter can be also applied to the articles content. But it a bit more complicated. We need to check Apply to content checkbox in this case. Often a text contains the same ads text which we want to remove. And there is no separate classname by which it could be removed in edit mode. The filter is applyed to html source of the articles. If the text is plain we can just paste it in filter text field, but if the text contains a link or other html elements (like images) we have ti use regex. Show html menu item should help us. For example:
<p>Start of the ads text(.)+</p>
Or if there are new line symbols in text:
<p>Some ads text(.|\s|\n)+</p>
