Column | Description |
Status Icon |
Displays a small open
( )
or closed
( )
window icon for open or closed groups, or a broken group icon
( )
if a group is opened that could not be found on the news server.
A closed icon with a small letter N inside
( )
means that new articles have been batch-downloaded to this
group since it was last opened.
|
Group Name |
Depending on other configuration settings, this can be either
the full name of the group (e.g, comp.sys.amiga.misc),
or the abbreviated name (e.g. c.s.a.misc).
|
Last Read |
The date and time on which the group was last opened.
|
New |
The number of new articles on the server since the group was
last opened. Due to the pecularities of the news protocol, this count
is almost always an overstatement of the actual number of new articles.
This number can be updated using the Update Count command,
or by setting an automatic update interval in the configuration
settings.
|
Group |
The number of articles in the group, locally, including both read
and unread articles. This is updated when the headers are fetched
from the server.
|
Read |
The number of articles in the group that have been read. This is
updated every time you read an article that was previously unread.
|
Unread |
The number of unread articles in the group. This is
updated every time you read an article that was previously unread.
|
Avail |
The total number of articles for this group available from the
server. For some large groups, you may want to configure NewsRog
to fetch a less than this number. Due to the pecularities of the
news protocol, this number is usually an overstatement of the
actual number of articles available from the server.
|
Description |
The group's description, as fetched from the server using the
Read Description command. It may also be set to any
desired value from within the group window's configuration
section, which is useful for groups that don't have a description
on the server. Setting only happens locally; nothing on the
network or server is changed.
|
Server |
The server from which to fetch this group. Usually this is
just the default server defined in the Servers Window .
