Describe the feature

Currently the "NEW" status does not disappear unless you open the chapter or manually mark it as completed.

Some chapters with a "NEW" status will never be opened, examples:

  • It could be a re-release of an older already completed chapter.
  • The user could be adding a title to their library where they already had previous progress and thus not re-read those earlier chapters.

In these cases the user doesn't want to have to go and manually mark these chapters as completed every time that happens.

An opt-in setting to auto clear the "NEW" status on chapters after opening the title view could help with this. An alternative or supporting solution could be to add another opt-in setting to clear "NEW" statuses after X amount of time.

Feature Motivation

Could help with de-cluttering the library and chapter list UI and more accurately represent actual new chapters. Marking chapters as completed manually can be quite tedious.
