Bug Description

Instead of using a checkbox to select 'interval fetching', Akregator should use radio buttons with either 'interval fetching' or whatever the alternative is. Presumably the alternatives are 1) to check a feed as often as the feed itself specifies, or 2) for the user to check it manually. The alternatives need to be made clear, or else the user will be confused about what choice he or she is making.

If Akregator doesn't end up using a radio button, the alternative is to use a tooltip when the mouse hovers over 'interval fetching,' explaining what the alternative is.

it is unknown upstream at this time. This is a wishlist item. I just spoke with an akregator dev on IRC and he stated it is a wishlist item and he hasn't implemented it into the kde 3.5.x branch, but will more than likely do so on the KDE 4 branch. And seeing that KDE 3.5.x is frozen now, except for 1 more bug fix (3.5.8 this fall).
