I am unsure if that was suppose to fix what I am looking for/missing. Because as of right now there’s no dismiss buttons at least for the new tab per category.
I also am wondering if it’s possible for the category drop down to remember that I was looking at the new/unread tabs. Instead of jumping to the latest for that category it would keep inside the new/unread tabs.
Unfortunately, that is very much intentional, as for New, there is a single column on the User that gets reset, it isn’t by category. So if you put the button on that page, it will be misleading.
Thank you for confirming! I only wish for it to continue selecting either new or unread, if I was viewing one of them and then decide to narrow it down to a specific category.
Then it can’t be helped. Right now I have zero items listed in the unread tab for specific categories. I only wish to dismiss what’s in ‘new’ for a specific category.
That is currently impossible without significant schema changes and I’m not sure it is a good idea, as that schema has to change as new categories are added or old ones deleted, etc.
And yes, my PR added support for the Unread tab on categories, so you could dismiss the posts/topics accordingly. During that process, I was going to approach the Dismiss New at a category level, but realized the work involved was well beyond my Ruby/Ember/Rails/Discourse abilities at the time (and still is).
