 ### Changed
 
+- A feed's settings are redesigned: downloading on its own is a switch with what depends on it beneath, how many is Default, Newest or All shown on a strip of the show's own episodes, words to pick or hide are chips, the settings shared by everyone sit apart, and Save is always in reach.
 - The feed list's traces show each of its database queries, so it can be told where its time goes.
 - Saving a feed's settings asks the database for your subscription once, not twice.
 - `ipx add` and Add feed in the page add a feed the same way, through one piece of code.
