Description

It seems like the "Favorites" tab isn't working with the current version.

Steps to Reproduce

If you click on the "Favorites" icon in the right-hand lower corner, Selfoss still shows all articles and not only the Favorites as expected.

App version

Noticed this with versions 125030901-github and 125040991-github-

PS: First time exploring this feature and would find it very cool if Favorites (but only them) could be stored for offline usage (1) infinitely (2), even bypassig the usual purging of outdated articles. Should I open a new feature request for this?

Great catch, thanks for the report !

This will be fixed soon.

Also, there is a cache system for the articles. It's not only for the favorites, but it always cache them.

Thanks for the quick reply and fix!

As for saving the favorites, the current cache system doesn't quite fit the purpose - it is for offline usage, and either these articles will be purged together with the articles on the server, or they will remain cached infinitely, but then you have a different problem (at least on older phones).

My suggested feature is a very lightweight one, once in a while I come across an article that I would like to save for later, but that's 1 in 1000, no need to cache tens of thousands of articles when all you really want is keep a few dozen. I also think there would be some logic in saving favorites - why else would one mark an item as favorite when it is eventually treated like the rest?

I don't think I understand. Do you want to save only favorite articles for offline use, or would you like some feature like saving links like Pocket or Wallabag do ?
