Since the word 'preview' is directly to the left of the slider, it makes me think that I should toggle the slider to enable preview. Hovering over the slider, however, shows that the slider is for subscription.

One potential fix would be to rename the word 'preview' to 'subscribe'. We might also remove the word 'preview' and use icons to the left of the slider. Then I suggest to also add an icon to the left of the popularity indicator.

@drew2a , could you please give me a hint in how to make it look more intuitive?

I support @devos50 suggestion:

It seems that we now have the number of items in between the 'Preview' text and the subscribe toggle, which partially addresses this issue. Simply changing the text from 'Preview' to 'Subscribe' might not be the preferred solution since this text is used as general status label (e.g., it can also say 'Searching for metainfo').

Unrelated to this issue, but it seems that the item counters are completely off sometimes (for example, it can say 0/3 items or 3/0 items). This is quite easy to reproduce in GUI test mode.
