I can't be the only person here who is beginning to find it tedious having to click 'New' on the filter bar each time I open any of my groups.
I have 'Mark new headers old on load' unchecked so I can see exactly what's new when I go to check my headers. However, as you'll know, all articles are in the view so I have to keep checking that little box on the filter bar. I wonder if an option can be added to auto-check the 'New' box.
Show new articles by default when opening group(s)
This checkbox is indeed the very most used one by me also.
Not only after opening a group, but also each tiime i clear a subject filter.
A "default" option in properties to show only new headers is wished.
Also it shouldn't be cleared when i press the "clear" button.
For me pressing the clear button shouldn't clear any checkboxes since there is a "master" on/off checkbox at the leftside.

it depends on how the permanent filters will be implemented, i have no a final solution yet.
in the program there are only rudimentary data structures for initial and arbitrary permanent filters, the main question is how to implement interface, internally filters are quite easy.
on the next stage i may implement filters in filter editor - it is more or less clear - which are not connected to anything (maybe as initial filters without reset, so not so usable, just to have a general idea) and then to think how to proceed. also kill filters and watch pane need these filters, but if the filters are available the panes are easy to add. so maybe it is the right sequence filter editor -> initial filters -> kill filter/watch panes -> interface for arbitrary filters applied to views. i'm now thinking in real time
unlike newspro the ue filter editor will contain all filters in a single list, as to sharing maybe to eventually make copy/paste through clipboard.
naturally i want to eventually implement all essential newspro options in ue in a systematic way.

Well take your time i would say.
From user point of view I say, better wait so you can think about how to make it work with no manual needed, than implement fast (copy from newspro) while not everyone understands how it works.
The scheduler is something that should be easy but it is not clear for someone who used it never before.
If there would be an option to choose for every x-th hours, days then it would be self exlaining. But now we have to fill in a time range, while just a "start getting new headers" is done?

as to watch/auto header tasks the implementation in newspro was based on the fact that the get headers function is accumulative, e.g. if you want to get headers at 8am and you get them hourly during the night instead the total consumed time/resources/bandwidth etc. will be roughly the same as if you get them during one time.
if you don't want to get headers at certain times it almost certainly means you don't want any activity at all, then scheduler can be used.
if you have an idea of something better without clogging the interface i could consider it, it is an open possibility, for now there only a dummy filter function which always answers 'yes' (everything matches).
