Manage Subscriptions, Export (default filename is "MyThunderbirdFeeds.opml", I
don't know if there is another choice) does not preserve the "show article
summary instead of loading web page" setting. This means restoring RSS
subscriptions across Thunderbird profiles is painful.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to an RSS feed, ensuring that "article summary" box is checked
2. Manage Subscriptions, Export, "MyThunderbirdFeeds.opml"
3. rm -rf ~/.thunderbird
4. Restart Thunderbird
5. Manage Subscriptions, Import, "MyThunderbirdFeeds.opml"
6. Observe "article summary" is not honored

Hmm, OPML doesn't do this for us, unless we add our own attributes. It's either that or remember settings for deleted feeds.

> Two report -> Confirming.
So can you help me understand what "confimed" means in the scheme of things? I understood from Comment #1 that this was Just The Way It Goes(tm). I am not at all familiar with the OPML spec, if that matters.
Alternately, perhaps the solution is not so much to change the OPML as to change the import process. Perhaps a two column dialog with "show article summary?" on the left, the //outline/@title on the right and the obligitory "check all/de-check all" buttons. That would make importing other folks OPML (if there is such a thing) less painful on TB users. Value add, donchano. :-)
Thanks, -- /v\atthew

That's exactly it, improvements either on the side of Tb-specific OPML attributes or the UI are possible to address this shortcoming. (Maybe both?)
We'll need a discussion and collect ideas to see where this will go. That's why I confirmed: It's a possibly worthwhile enhancement and will allow for more consistency.
