Big deception

Submitted by Calimo on Sun, 2005-11-06 19:07.

Links still opens with IE. Impossible to use the default browser. Hope it will come soon :(

It's really the only thing that prevents me from using RSSOwl. What a shame !

Checkout the 'Browser'

Submitted by bpasero on Sun, 2005-11-06 19:25.

Checkout the 'Browser' preferences. It is possible to use RSSOwl with other Browsers like Mozilla and Opera, as external Browser.

I have the same problem.

Submitted by daybarr on Mon, 2005-11-07 16:28.

The URL for the message, shown in the "title bar" at the top of the "message frame", does open in the default browser when you update your preferences.

But I think what Calimo means is that links within a message are still opened inside the message frame of RSS Owl. I'd like these links to open in my default browser as well.

Other than that, it's a marvellous app. Well done and thanks.

Is this what I've been looking for?

Submitted by blogvp on Mon, 2005-11-07 07:00.

I've been looking for a way to archive blogs that I read so I might be able to review them in the future, and your "history" feature sounds like it might do that job.

I'll test it out and report how it goes.

Excellent!

1.2 is amazing. Once I get the hand of the new features, I'll try to write a review/optimization guide for new users. Great works guys.

Feeds not current

Submitted by davefaulkner on Tue, 2005-11-08 16:53.

Jut downloaded 1.2 for Windows this morning. It seems to have trouble in showing up to date feeds from my Favorites. It may show the last post as having been a week or ten days ago but when I use an external browser to visit the site I discover more recent posts. Also, some posts that are shown are undated. I've set in Preferences to have my Favorites automatically updated every hour but that isn't curing the problem, and nor is clicking to reload or aggregate Favorites. Any thoughts?

First of all it can be that

Submitted by bpasero on Tue, 2005-11-08 20:27.

First of all it can be that feeds are not updated in the same interval, the website is updated. Second, some sites might restrict the time an update is allowed. Third, are you using a proxy server?

great product, but one issue

Submitted by flatop on Tue, 2005-11-08 21:17.

congrats on a great product, but I have one issue, and one question. First the issue - I am behind a proxy at work - I can download the feeds fine via proxy, but the browser does not work - times out. On my other machines that are not proxied, the browser gets "real-time" links fine, as well as internal browser working normally. On to the request - is there a way to default to html view (ctl-3)? If I could do that, and get the internal browser to work through my proxy, I would never run liferea again :)

Could you check that you

Submitted by bpasero on Wed, 2005-11-09 11:47.

Could you check that you have setup your Mozilla to use a proxy server? RSSOwl is integrating Mozilla and should use its proxy settings.

Default HTML View is currently not possible yet.

thanks for the quick reply.

Submitted by flatop on Thu, 2005-11-10 15:30.

thanks for the quick reply. My mozilla acts weird - Whenever I open it for the first time, it cannot connect via the proxy, but on a reload, or any other subsequent times, it works fine. That's probably whats happening here.

Unstable

Submitted by reitsma on Tue, 2005-11-29 11:45.

The problem with this newsreader is that it is not finished yet.
There will be a lot of bugs corrected the next versions.
The software is too sensitive for when there is a tiny thing
wrong.
As an example: In my Windows ME I have to start up from the window
in which the RSSOwl.exe is. I have to click on the RSSOwl.jar.
If I make a shortcut on the desktop or taskbar I can
startup the program, but after a few times it sometimes crashes.
So no shortcuts for me.
When I start up with the RSSOwl.exe the same problems.
When I manage memory with a program called CleanRam,
RSSOwl crashes sometimen etc.
RSSOwl is the only program in my PC that crashes.
To be short again: the program is not finished yet.
(That's why I now re-use an old program AntiCrash 5. It helps.)
But: I like RSSOwl a lot after I tried a other "readers".
It is exactly what it has to be, easy to use and not syndicated.
A "not hysteric" reader.
