About filters in Usenet Explorer 1.09

Post by Ballshamin »

Hello...

I have problems to download automatically the headers specified in a filter.

I haven't any problem to create the filter, and it work if I applied it from combo box in toolbar, or as initial filter in the newsgroup. But it only work just like the quick filter.

I had add the filter to the newsgroup in Properties -> Auto/Watch. I had indicate a folder to save the bodies, but when I push OK or Apply buttons, nothing happens.

watch filter is applied to newly incoming headers, try e.g. to reset the newsgroup and download headers again, the headers willl be marked for download/save on arrival.

it is like e.g. you want to download always article bodies from certain author, or you expect next volume of a post which takes several days and you can guess its subject you set ue watch filters and it will do the job when the headers arrive.

if you want to apply the filter to existing headers you just apply the filter to the newsgroup, ctrl+a to select all and press invoke dowload or download&save.
