How to insert ticked articles in Gnus

How to insert ticked articles in Gnus

[Leo]

Hi all,

How can I retrieve all ticked articles in a group?

I searched Gnus manual but find nothing.

Any ideas? Thank you!

I don't understand the question.  Ticked articles are always visible.
So you enter a group with <RET> and there they are.

You should really ask questions related to Gnus in a group related to
Gnus, as suggested by Reiner.

Not in a huge group that has many unread articles. It is hard to find
ticked articles.

That requires showing all the articles first. I am looking for
something like 'Y d' does to dormant articles ;)

Thanks for help.

There's also the possibility of using the `display' group parameter
with a `tick' predicate. However, this wouldn't be very efficient,
since Gnus tests this expression on individual headers after fetching
them, despite a list of ticked articles being already in memory.

I wonder if `Y t' would be a good candidate for No Gnus.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun gnus-summary-insert-ticked-articles ()
  "Insert ticked articles for this group into the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (let ((gnus-verbose (max 6 gnus-verbose)))
    (if (not gnus-newsgroup-marked)
	(gnus-message 3 "No ticked articles for this group")
      (gnus-summary-goto-subjects gnus-newsgroup-marked))))

(eval-after-load 'gnus-sum
  '(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map (kbd "Y t")
     'gnus-summary-insert-ticked-articles))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

andreas

Looks good.  Could you install it along with menu entries (<menu-bar>
<Gnus> <Limit to> ...) and documentation (texi/gnus.texi
texi/gnus-news.texi)?

I don't see the point in let-binding `gnus-verbose', but I think
you just copied it from `gnus-summary-insert-dormant-articles'.

Let's move this to ding, please.  Mail-Followup-To: <ding@gnus.org>

Bye, Reiner.

That's indeed what I am looking for. Thank you so much.

Just want to add it is also handy when you have ticked articles in a
slow but small group.

Is there a reason to leave them unread?  If there isn't, you can mark
all of them read with `c'.

Not an optimal solution. But if there isn't a better solution, I'll
use this one.
