T m problem

T m problem

[Hans de Graaff]

Hi,

It seems there is a problem with using T m (Topic move). When a
newsgroup is moved from the top-level topic (which is not shown
anymore by default) to a topic, the group does get moved to the topic,
but it also remains at the top-level. Removing that line with C-k also
removes the line in the topic. I worked around this by removing that
group name from the .newsrc.eld, but I suppose it should be easier
than that. :-)

Have you tried removing the group with C-k and then yanking it under
the wanted topic with C-y?

That does work, but T m should work as advertised, and now it
doesn't.

Oh, dear.  The topic commands look at the buffer to see what topic
you're in, and if you're not displaying the topic line, it won't know
which topic to remove it from.

I think.

Does `C-k' remove it from the undisplayed topic?

Yes, C-k and C-y work fine. In fact, 'duplicating' a group with T m
and then C-k'ing the original also removes the fanthom copy in the
destination topic. The problem did appear when the top-level Topic was
changed to be hidden (which I prefer).

Perhaps the fix is to remove T m and to suggest using C-k and C-y
instead? I'm not sure that this works with topics which are closed,
though.
