Hello. Can you do multiple addition of the same items? For example, when I create podcasts and RSS categories, I add the others subcategory to the podcasts, but I don't add the others subcategory to the RSS, I get an error saying I can't add it. Thanks, michal.

Hi Michal — this is fixed in v1.67.5, which is out now. 🎉

You can now create the same subcategory name under different parent categories. In your example, you can add an Others subcategory under Podcasts and a separate Others subcategory under RSS without the "can't add it" error — each one keeps its own feeds. (Creating two subcategories with the same name under the same parent is still blocked, since those would be the same folder.)

A couple of notes:

This applies to local accounts, where BlindRSS manages the folder tree itself. Hosted accounts (Miniflux, Inoreader, BazQux, The Old Reader) use a flat category list on the server side, so they don't have folders-within-folders — subcategory options are hidden there rather than faked.
The Windows update is available immediately via Help → Check for Updates; the macOS/Linux builds attach to the same release a few minutes later.

Please grab the update and let me know if anything still doesn't work the way you expect — happy to reopen. Thanks for the report!
