omafeed 0.2.6

TL;DR: omafeed 0.2.6 makes the window simpler to work in. You organize feeds and folders right in the sidebar by dragging them, instead of in a separate "Manage library" window. Articles get a right-click menu. Single feeds and folders can be refreshed on their own. The dialogs have a new look, and the status bar is gone. Your library and settings carry over unchanged.

New

• A right-click menu on articles (#36), as in NetNewsWire. From it you can mark an article read or unread, star or unstar it, mark the articles above or below it as read (Ctrl+Z undoes this), open it in the browser, copy its link, or go to its feed. The Menu key or Shift+F10 opens the menu for the selected article.
• Refresh a single feed or folder from its right-click menu (#35). Use it, for instance, to retry a feed marked unavailable without refreshing everything. Adding or editing a feed now refreshes only that feed.
• A companion Omarchy bar plugin (#37). omafeed-bar puts an RSS icon in the Omarchy bar that lights up when something is unread, with the newest articles one click away. Install it with omarchy plugin add https://github.com/pch/omafeed-bar --enable.

Changed

• No more "Manage library" window (#35). Feeds and folders are organized right in the sidebar, as in NetNewsWire. Drag a feed or folder onto a folder to move it inside, or onto a smart view to move it to the top level. The + button in the header adds a feed (Ctrl+N) or a folder (Ctrl+Shift+N) to the folder you are viewing, and a folder's right-click menu can add them inside it. Edit… and Remove… stay in the right-click menu. Ctrl+L no longer does anything.
• Redesigned dialogs (#35, #36). Adding and editing feeds and folders, choosing among a site's feeds, Settings, Content filters and Keyboard shortcuts all have a new look in omafeed's own style: a clear title, labeled fields, Cancel and Save at the bottom, and Enter to save. A mistake, such as a folder name already in use, shows in the form instead of closing it. Content filters is now a dialog rather than a separate window.
• No status bar (#35). Refresh progress shows as a spinner in the refresh button and as a thin line along the top of the window. The button's tooltip shows how far a refresh has got and when the last one finished. The page buttons sit beside the article count and only appear when a view has more than one page.
• The sidebar no longer has a "LIBRARY" heading (#36). Folders have a folder icon, and their expander is at the end of the row.
• A quieter header and a lowercase name (#36). The title is a small "omafeed" wordmark, and the app is called omafeed everywhere, including the launcher.
