[Kavita] Idea / Feature Submission: Reading List Details Page Improvements

[LegendaryLass]

Idea Description

For the reading list detail page:

• Adding an option for any user to "hide read issues" based off their own reading states to promoted lists. This would be akin to the "remove read issues" but not actually delete them and also be available to any user, not just the list owner

• For the "remove read issues" it would be a bit safer to have a confirmation dialogue pop up for that. It would be good to have it explain "this removes the issues from the list permanently/can't be undone" etc

• Some way to "jump to"/highlight the "next issue" up based on where they last read the list? i suppose this would require maintaining a "last read" for each list which you may or may not be doing

Some way to "jump to"/highlight the "next issue" up based on where they last read the list?

This is already possible with the continue button. We already have a reading list mode for the readers to follow the reading list order rather than series order.

For the "remove read issues" it would be a bit safer to have a confirmation dialogue pop up for that. It would be good to have it explain "this removes the issues from the list permanently/can't be undone" etc

Yes, I'll add this.

Hide meaning make them invisible in the list? I can't grasp where the value behind this is.

For hiding issues: The idea being that if a list is promoted, the other users reading it can't "remove" the issues they've already read (like the list creator) but may want to "hide" the issues they've read to achieve the same effect and pare it down to just stuff they haven't read yet. Similarly, even the list creator may want to hide these for the same reason without permanently removing the issues (to not permanently alter it for other users).

and to be clear this would be a "Hide Read Issues" feature for both the creator and the other users, in addition to the "Remove Read Issues" for just the creator

But what functionality are you trying to achieve with hiding items? If you've read items, it might not be in the order of the list. We don't track reading against lists, just individual reading of the underlying chapter/issue.

[LegendaryLass]

say I get a list from the repo but I've read some but not all of the issues. I don't want to read all of it, I want to hide the issues I've read and either then a) export that as a list file just for me to reimport or b) start reading from those non-hidden issues as a pseudo-list Say we have items A-F in positions 1-6: 1 A 2 B etc If I've read A, B and D, I want to see just C, E, F and then click on C, start reading, and when it gets to the end, jump to E (not D)

This seems outside the scope of what Kavita is meant to be. It is not an organizer for Reading Lists. If you hid items, you wouldn't be able to export without those items. What you're also asking for is not a "hide read", it's a "Ignore already read".

This is something I'm not interested in bringing into Kavita. The scope is too large.

[LegendaryLass]

put aside the exporting (which if you're not into making this a reading list manager at all, I don't know why that exists). the macro problem here is: for very large lists, many of which you provide or at least enable passing on via the repository, it's hard to figure out what you've read and what you haven't read and/or read in a way that doesn't make you plow through a lot of issues already marked as read. whatever you think is a reasonable, in-scope way to help with that would be greatly appreciated
