I’ve read about it several times now (posts from 2011 - 2021), but the core of the Problem hasn’t been resolved yet. Maybe there’s a fix in 2022?
My Problem: I’m reading many longer PDF-Documents, and mostly I can’t finish them in one sitting. Therefore, I’d like to keep them “unread”. Until now, I have to mark them as unread manually, but I tend to forget that…
In addition, when I’m just scrolling through my Database to get an overview of all my readings, the Documents are marked as “read.” This is particularly annoying, as most of them have just been added, and I’ve certainly not read all of them.
So, is there an option I just haven’t discovered yet?
Try deactivating and reactivating the preference if you haven’t already. A long while back there was a post about a preference “lost” on updating, and that was the solution (I can’t remember any more about it, so can’t quote or link).
Offtopic: I often remember some words of something that would be useful to read again but I didn’t capture it and don’t know where I’ve read it. For such cases there’s a super useful app: HistoryHound.
HistoryHound lets you do a fast keyword search on the entire content of all web pages and RSS feeds you’ve visited recently, plus all those that you’ve bookmarked. It’s a “personal web search.” Just type in a few keywords and HistoryHound gives you a list of pages you’ve viewed recently, ranked by relevance.
Without it I would need to go thru the Safari history, read all webpage titles of a given time period, open those where I guess that it could be what I’m looking for … and repeat. HistoryHound is incredibly helpul.
Yes. I deleted the Smart Rule “Als gelesen markieren” the other day, but I guess I created it on my own and it’s not necessary for this preference to work, right?
