Gnus virtual group score

Gnus virtual group score

[Bastian Ballmann]

Hi all,

in my Gnus setup I have a score file for every topic, but if I 
combine those topics to a single virtual group the score information 
seem to be lost.

I experimented with different values for
gnus-score-find-score-files-function but neither seems to retrieve the
score information from the original source of the virtual group. 

Any hint / idea how I can really just combine the contents of single
topics / groups?

TIA && have a nice day!

I don't think that's possible.  Gnus just looks up the score files based
on the group you're in, not the source groups of the virtual group.

Maybe there is a way to find the virtual group's source groups and cycle
through their score files as a set?

Yes, you could write your own `gnus-score-find-score-files-function'
that would look at `nnvirtual-component-groups' and just call one of the
other functions for each group in that list, and then mash them all
together.
