How to use the new v0.31.3 Multiple RSS feeds feature?
« on: December 16, 2009, 02:25:55 am »
Hi,

I'd really like to test this new feature, but havent found out exactly how to accomplish it:

"+ support for multi RSS feeds (still in testing)"

The Wiki mentions using rssfeed.com - which works fine except I have a number of sites that require cookies in the URL and I dont really want to risk those becoming public.

So, I'm assuming from the format of how the feeds are stored in CONFIG.ABZ, it may go something like this:

|FEEDNAME!#!URL1!#!URL2!#!URL3|

Thought I would check before I hacked on it just to find out its not even enabled yet.

Anyway, I've been waiting for this feature so thanks for working on it!

Thanks!

There's no mention in the Wiki of rssfeed.com, so not sure what you mean by that.

Currently, you need to keep each extra RSS window open for it to be active, but in future they'll be added as new tabs, at which point the feature will be usable.

Hecks I think he meant rssmix.com which combines multiple RSS feeds into one URL.

the way to use the feature right would be. url1 as standart just like always. stop timer type url2 but instead of of pushing timer use add rss feed. a new window opens where u can enter the apropriate filters, then minimize the window and do the same for url3 and so forth.
there are two things that make the use of lets say 3 or 4 feeds somehow unpleasent:

the first being that each new rssfeed will be displayed as a seperate window under Alt+Tab if Alt.Binz is not in tray.
the second drawback is that right now all new rssfeeds get lost once u exit Alt.Binz.

So using the feature in this early stage only makes sense if Alt.Binz is almost permanently in tray and if u either rarely exit Alt.Binz or are willing to recreate ur feeds from doc after each exit.

Was further development on this abandoned?  I can't get it to work at all.  Add a new RSS feed and it doesn't allow me to focus on the second window...?
