Virtual newsgroups

[Vega]

Hi,

There is any way to create a persistent (virtual) newsgroup or anything that contains all headers from other specific groups?

For example:
Can i create virtual groups named like mmnew, mmkill, mmmarked, etc that contains all headers from alt.binaries.multimedia and the alt.binaries.movies groups, but each would have different filtering. In the mmnew i could only see the new headers, in mmkill the autokilled headers, etc.

You do it by creating folders, assigning the groups to them, and then putting a different initial filter onto each folder.

Not good enough, one group can't be in more then one subfolder.

Hm, it's working, creating sub-sub folders.
It's really inefficient, and only one can be open at a time, but working...

you can open as many windows as you want, press ctrl+w to switch between them fast.

i find having newsgroup in one folder reasonable, exhausting the universe of possibilites is not always a good choice since all becomes more messy.

you can use manual joining of groups to achieve an arbitrary combination.

Hi!
It seems like u are as much weird than I am !
I already discuss this kinda of mater with Alex
For this to work u need for ur sub-folders to setup some fake newsgroups :
- mmnew
-- mmkill
--- mmarked
----- alt.binaries.multimedia
----- alt.binaries.movies
----- alt.binaries....
--- fake.mmkill
-- fake.mmnew

In fact u must set one fake group for a folder which contains just another folder.
So u will be able to open those folders at the same time with differents filters applying to the same newsgroups.
Cya.
