If no setting change is made in that folder it will inherit from the folder that folder is in and so on. If there is no change to a given setting, it inherits any changes in the settings for the folder (group) it is in. The individual feed can be set differently in the "Info" panel. You have the global settings in the applications that apply if there are no other changes. You have to think of the preferences for feeds as a cascade. You never needed to check the "Don't refresh" box in the first place because there were no feeds to refresh anyway. The folder settings are there so that you can change the refresh settings of all the feeds in that folder all at once. Since a group isn't a feed, it is merely a folder that feeds are collected in, it has no URL of its own to update.

"Since these groups weren't RSS feeds, I checked the Don't refresh this subscription box in the group's Info window (why bother trying to update a nonsensical group?)."Īnd here is where you were mistaken to begin with. As soon as I told NNW that it was OK to refresh my top-level group folders, the RSS feeds within those folders started updating again. You've probably guessed by now, but it turns out that if you put a group of feeds within a folder, and that folder is marked to never be updated, then the feeds within that folder also won't get updated! This doesn't seem right to me, but it's how things are presently working. And all seemed well, until I noticed a couple days later than not all my feeds were updating.
I then put my groups of RSS feeds into these groups, and thought all was well. Instead of -, I now have things like - News - and - Tech tips -, etc. This worked great for a while, until I decided that I wanted to name my groups, and put my groups of RSS feeds within those larger groups. Since these groups weren't RSS feeds, I checked the Don't refresh this subscription box in the group's Info window (why bother trying to update a nonsensical group?). Not nearly as nice as a simple graphic divider bar, but it worked. I duplicated this group, and then placed each duplicate where I wanted dividers. I just created a new group, and named it all dashes:. Since NNW doesn't include a divider feature, I decided to make my own. All Mac-related groups in one section, then a divider bar, then general news groups in another section, etc. I have already organized the feeds using groups, but I want the ability to visually group those groups together. I'm generally happy with it, but one of the things I wish it had was the ability to add divider bars between groups of RSS feeds. I presently use NetNewsWire (NNW) as my RSS reader of choice. However, it's also a perfect example of why I launched macosxhints many years ago: it's something that I'll probably forget over time, and I wanted to have a place to documenmt it, in case I run into the problem again in the future.
