RSS Feeds : Enable changing the properties(interval to update feeds) for an entire folder.



RSS Feed - There should be an option to change the 'properties' of the feeds in a folder. Right now I have to go inside the folder and manually change the properties to update every 24 hours from the default 3 hours. This makes it tedious work. Often I keep changing the time frame to update the feeds in different folders, I always have to do it manually.

To clarify, I have to change the properties for each feed separately right now. If there are 10 feeds in the football folder, then I have to right click them all separately and change the time interval from the default 3 hours to 24 hours or Never. It'd be much better if I could right click the folder itself and change the properties for all the 10 feeds inside the folder at once.

+1. Very annoying.

It's even more annoying when you export your feed list and import it into another Opera. Since the intervals are not exported and imported, you have to set them all again.

@Burnout : Yes that is another problem I forgot to mention. The feeds could be made Syncable using Opera Link to avoid. Both the feeds and the settings must be synced. People ussually set shorter time intervals to update feeds for things like

1. Stock exchange news, business news or
2. General news like the BBC feed for example.
3.Those who research a lot for scientific articles like to follow the comments people make on their ideas
4.Those who avidly follow blogs, especially the comments

I do all 4 of these, so play with the settings a lot. And I travel a lot too. It'd be great if Opera dev team could make Feed as well as their settings (folder and time interval) syncable.
