I have been using low-priority watch filters to mark the articles that they "catch" for later download, and I am using the "tasks->Suspend article tasks marked for later download" feature to keep the items from being automatically downloaded until I can review them. SO, I end up with an articles pane full of potential downloads.

Instead of having to un-suspend the tasks, I would like to be able to simply up the priority of the items I select from the list (because I always forget to turn the suspend feature back on). Is this possible, or am I requesting a new feature?

Alex - I asked about this while you were away. Is there something I am missing on how to do this, or is this post a feature request?

Welcome back, by the way! I hope your vacation was relaxing...

there is an option 'move to top' or e.g. if you set suspend priority to lowest you can drag selected articles to the upper priority level above the topmost suspended article a bit up so the drag cursor will be upward arrow.

it would be also possible to add other options like download with certain priority, just i want to keep the number of options minimal if possible.

I understand...the only problem is that moving them to the top only works if there are other tasks active. If not, I have to search for the posts and change the priority on the listings themselves...that kind of defeats the purpose of the watch filters the way I am using them (which I like A LOT other than the inability to change priority).

Wouldn't it be best to allow the articles in that appear in the task manager to use the same right-click menu as regular articles?

in principle it is simple to add, i've made a note, i'll try to check it after i'm done with the current work.

You rule. Thanks, man...
