It is proposed to remove the “Show Only Unread” item from the channel/category context menus and add it to the main “View” menu.

Expected behavior

The “Show Only Unread” option should no longer appear in the context menus for channels or categories.
The option should be available in the main “View” menu, clearly indicating its global effect on the application view.
When activated, the filter should continue to display only unread articles across all channels, as implemented currently.

It is required to address the current ambiguity regarding the scope of the “Show Only Unread” filtering action. Currently, the option is located in the context menu for channels and categories, but it applies globally to all channels rather than to the selected item. This placement creates a misleading impression that the filter will be applied only to the specific channel or category for which the context menu was opened. It is proposed to remove the “Show Only Unread” item from the channel/category context menus and add it to the main “View” menu. #### Expected behavior - The “Show Only Unread” option should no longer appear in the context menus for channels or categories. - The option should be available in the main “View” menu, clearly indicating its global effect on the application view. - When activated, the filter should continue to display only unread articles across all channels, as implemented currently.

Fixed in v1.77.4, exactly as proposed:

Show Only Unread no longer appears in the channel/category context menus.
It now lives in the View menu as a checkable item (View → Show Only Unread), reflecting its global effect.
The filter behavior itself is unchanged — it still shows only unread articles across all channels — and the menu check state stays in sync when BlindRSS restores an unread-filtered view at startup.

Thanks for the suggestion!
