feedlist-title-format

[Lang Hurst]

Newsboat it great. I have just recently found it and set up a bunch
of my feeds and it's so refreshing returning to an RSS reader after
years of being away.

I have:
"query:Unread Articles:unread = \"yes\""
in my urls file. This works great. The only issue is that it doubles
the number of unread in my title. So if I have, say, 10 unread
posts, the top says 20. It's reading both the actual unread posts as
well as the unread posts found by the query. Every unread article is
being counted twice. Which makes sense really, but I would like it
to just give me the unread number.

In my clumsy way I tried putting:
feedlist-title-format "%N %V - Your feeds (%u/2 unread, %t total)%?T? - tag `%T'&?"
I'm sure everyone can guess what happened. It put `....feeds (16/2
unread...` at the top.

Anyone have help on formatting this. It's not a huge deal because I
can divide by 2 in my head as I did finish elementary, but the
aesthetic is annoying. Thanks.

I'm confused -- why does the *feedlist* title display the number of
*articles*? By default, and also in the `feedlist-title-format` that you
mention further down, only the number of *feeds* is shown.

Could you share your config and a screenshot of the feedlist (with feed
titles redacted) just so we're on the same page?
