From 2c33529fb665cb54c31e54230fcb7b2491cf8565 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Danilo M." Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 16:31:34 +0200 Subject: feat: choose the startup query by name The app opened whichever saved query sorted first alphabetically, which is not a choice anyone made: [queries] is read through childKeys(), so savedQueries().first() means "Flagged" before "Inbox" before "Unread" rather than anything the user expressed. [general] startup_query names the entry to open and defaults to Unread, so a fresh install comes up on the unified unread list. Saved-query button order is untouched and stays alphabetical. A name matching no saved query falls back to the first one rather than starting with an empty view. That is reported as a problem only when the user actually wrote the name; the built-in default naming a query they never created is not something they got wrong, and warning about it would fire on every launch of a config that has no Unread entry.
