That's the way I understood it, and why I've been using a dbus call on /com/nokia/osso_browser/request with the open_new_window method. Maybe I'll try to use the load_url method.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
i like this rss reader, its simple ui, and works quite nice.
I have 3 points that i would like to see if it could be improved:

1> dont show in portrait when keyboard is out (just like the phone app or the hidden browser portrait mode). Many times i am in bed, and i reading stuff but then the n900 is in portrait mode from its perspective but not mine (my face is on a pillow) what i can do in other apps is just open the keyboard and it is fixed into landscape.

2> urls are not clickable to open in the browser, i have to go through the menu, but this is not that handy sometimes there are urls inside the message where i want to go.

3> no update this feed in when i am in a feed list. (only update all)

Huh odd.. I can't get Slashdot into feedingit (yes I know on a fresh new feedingit, slashdot is already there).

But what happened is that I imported my feeds and slashdot dissapeared, and now I can't re-add it. Adding it again says it adds successfully but won't show up in my list. I checked the export and there's no slashdot url in there either.

Edit: http://www.ubersoft.net/rss/rss.xml

Ubersoft doesn't seem to work either..it adds but it won't open.

FeedingIt - RSS Reader: increase zoom on articles
 
I had the same issue a few others have mentioned: the font size on articles is very small. I've come up with an ugly workaround which involves editing /opt/FeedingIt/FeedingIt.py

in the class definition for DisplayArticle, below the line

self.add(self.pannable_article)

add three or four rows of

self.view.zoom_in()

It aint elegant and will get clobbered with the next update of FeedingIt, but it works.

Thanks Yves for a nicer RSS reader.

@ Laughing Man: Try using a different name for the Slashdot feed. Not sure why, but there might be a name conflict in you list.

@Irose: Thanks, that'd work for now. The next update will most likely be using Webkit to display the articles, and include a way to set the font size.

Sorry for the lack of updates in the past few weeks, but I've been busy with rehearsals for the Olympic Ceremonies!

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
I've been RSS free except for my desktop (thanks to Brief add-on for Firefox) since I got the N900. All the options are just unacceptable for a heavy researcher and news hound on the go like me.

FeedingIt isn't vomit bad, but won't add any subscription I add. Not EngadgetMobile, BoyGenius, Symbian-Freak, nothing! Manual subscribing even with Feed Handler is unacceptable for productivity.

So I'm volunteering to help work on this one. I have some UI ideas to contribute, if they're welcome. I also ask that the dev study other popular mobile RSS readers, especially the S60 default reader. This device severely lags on a prime needed app, and there has been little improvement since it released. Options are there, but they need to be far better loking and working.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
I'm currently experimenting with FeedCircuit (http://feedcircuit.garage.maemo.org) and it has an excellent article caching ability.

Merging the 2 projects may make sense to my opinion (combining the navigation ease of FeedingIt with the download ability of FeedCircuit).

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
I can't seem to get feedhandler and feedingit to work together to add RSS feeds. All that happens when I try adding a feed from feedhandler is feedingit opens and stays there.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
From time to time feedingit garbles its database which then leads to a complete reconfiguration/import of my feeds as feeding it exits in this case without displaying the feed list.

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "FeedingIt.py", line 662, in createWindow
    self.displayListing()
  File "FeedingIt.py", line 738, in displayListing
    + str(self.listing.getFeedNumberOfUnreadItems(key)) + " Unread Items")
  File "/home/opt/FeedingIt/rss.py", line 285, in getFeedUpdateTime
    return self.feeds[key].getUpdateTime()
KeyError: 'e2158a4d06072f6e58beff1abe854023'

Hope that helps.
