Description

It would be nice to have the option on a per-session basis to choose whether the cookie expires at the end of the session or at some later time

Eg: I have rss.config.autologout set to true, as for the majority of machines where I use my gregarius I don't want my login information saved. For my home machine though it would be nice if the cookie didn't expire

Conversely: for people who have it set to false (ie, they normally want to keep the session active across browser restarts), it would be nice if they had a simple way to disable this if they were on a machine where they don't want to keep the session - eg, in a net cafe, on a friends machine.

My suggested way to accomplish this would be a small checkbox beside the existing login username/password text boxes; if checked, the cookie is persistent. If unchecked, the cookie is only valid for the session. The default value for the checkbox can be read from rss.config.autologout
