Using growl for windows to display notifications...

maxx — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:23:53 +0300

I recently discover growl for windows...

Nice notifier!

Maybe feedreader could use this notifier to display feeds alerts?

Just a suggestion... Have a nice day !

Cooler News Ticker

Pongpyng — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 09:10:26 +0300

It'd be great if the news ticker can scroll like the tickers on TV with an adjustable transparency color bar, hidden when there's no message, fade in and out too. Am I asking too much (^^!)

Update Feed Delay

cercph — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 22:03:30 +0300

I'd like to see an option so that FeedReader will wait x minutes after starting to update feeds for the first time and then continue with the regular update schedule thereafter. My machine takes so long to boot as it is and I have found that the feeds updating slows this process down even more. So I have turned off automatic updates and am only do manual updates, but often forget about it for the entire day. Thanks in advance!

Order of incoming feeds, and add option to highlight a feed.

Hi, thanks for the great program.

I have 2 requests.

I have some articles which when i hover the mouse pointer over them, have a box, with a light yellow background, and bold printing, that pops up. I can't find any characteristic that identifies this particular article to "pop-up", nor can i find an option to disable this bothersome action. I would like an option to disable this.

I use the Classic view. I would like when the focus of the mouse pointer is within a window, to be able to use the wheel to scroll THAT window, without having to click to change focus.

thanks,
Ron

Automatic syncronization

ManGz — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:26:21 +0300

Hello!
I really like ReedReader, but there are two things that i would like to see in the next version:
1. An autosync feature, which automatically runs the syncronization every xx minutes. Also i would like an option to sync "silent", meaning that the sync box does not appear when the application syncronizes. Maybe just a notification in the status bar of when the last sync was made.

2. When you choose to open links in the applications web browser, and choose to open links in a new window, the application opens them in IE, even though my standard browser is Firefox. If it's possible to update this so that there is an option "open in new tab", that opens the link in a new tab in the user's standard browser.

Thanks for a great application!

When you add a new feed, feedreader creates an associated smartfeed with always the same settings...

Match any of the following rules
Feed name / is / new feed

...I would like the ability to change this standard layout for example to..

Match all of the following rules
Feed name / is / new feed
Satus / is / Unread

...so that each new feed I add will have these preselected setting or preselected filters.

You could probably make a hidden reference smartfeed, that is only accessible through the options menu or so...

Highlight and other sugestions

Andrew_J_Baker — Fri, 16 May 2008 18:18:00 +0300

hi, i really love feedreader and hope to new one with updates is coming out soon. can i just suggest a few things that may be possible and i wish them to be added, they are as follows;- 1. highlight, flag the folder in which you currently have a flag on a feed. 2. have a few options for sounds e.g. play a sound when adding a feed, play a sound when update is complete, play sound on the desktop alert.

A checkbox for each rule to be able to disable it without removing it..

Some kind of shortcut to refresh the unread count maybe in the bottom bar since it never works 100% correct and as you said yourself you won't be able to fix that.

Build feedreader into a screensaver

bemuzeduk — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:17:46 +0300

Hi, is it possible to build feedreader into a screensaver?

I've seen this type of function on a friends computer in Swededn but not come across it in the UK.

release the source code under an open source licence

abdelkrim — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:22:43 +0300

if you do so, many developers like me will be happy to tune the application or add new features requested by the user for free.

here is a study of the impact of releasing your closed source code into an open source code. I was one of the writer :-)

Avoid the download of enclosures several times

abdelkrim — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:15:17 +0300

A "hash file + size + original URI" should be created in the feedreader DB listing all enclosures already downloaded.

Several times, feedreader download the same enclosures again and again.
an option must exist to avoid that.

PS: I don't have an unlimited bandwidth, when i leave feedreader open, sometimes it downloaded 0.5 Gb after 2 hours for nothing as the enclosures are already there.

thanks,

Ok I know this is not a REALLY NEW FEATURE POSSIBLY NOT EXISTING IN OTHER READERS. But it's a useful one, in fact it's a default behavior in rss readers and it would be really nice to at least have the option for people who don't want to ctrl+R every feeds they have. Thanks.

Poll: What kind of features you'd like to see in Feedreader?

tom-admin — Thu, 25 May 2006 12:34:25 +0300

We are constantly want to make Feedreader better and better. In this forum users are talking mostly about small additions to Feedreader. But at the same time we'd like to add some bigger features, too. Features what are not small usability additions (like "add configuration option to notification dialog") but REALLY NEW FEATURES POSSIBLY NOT EXISTING IN OTHER READERS.

So in this thread you can do some brainstorming and let's see if something interesting comes out :).
