Aha, so it works now... :-)

Actually it's not even necessary to "install" it to /opt as root, putting it in /home/user works just as well, we just need a Linux fs where files can be executed...

The new UI is nice and getting better all the time. The global "all/unread" setting is just great, and the new list views are nice too, easy to read.

A few more thoughts on usability though :

I like the post count on each line in the feed view, and the feed name in the "all posts" view. Maybe the visual effect would be nicer if they had a coloured beackground instead of white (like the same blue as the selection bar ?).

Also, there is a lot of width space left on these screens, so there could be a vertical toolbar in the side (like in grr) for the frequently used menu entries (sync, fetch more, mark all read, orientation etc.).

In landscape mode my favourite feature is keyboard navigation, but it's not all there yet. It's nice to be able to scroll through the lists with the arrows, select with Enter and go back with Backspace. But when you switch from feeds list to posts list this way, the new list doesn't have focus so you can't immediately scroll or select something with the keyboard.

And when you get to the post view, there is no in-page navigation any more. It would be good to be able to scroll up & down the page with arrows and/or space bar like in browsers.

Still about post view :

- I still can't stand that scrolling "marquee" window title :-)
- the in-page additional title is very nice, but it fades a bit fast for me
- when I'm in "all posts" mode (which is almost all the time), I often can't tell which feed the post is from.

So what I'd really like is an option/preference to :

- Put the feed name in the window title
- keep the in-page title as it is, but fixed (non-fading)

Just call it "the Fred mode" :-)

Also, the zoom keys do work (generally) in post view, and that's very useful. However, I find that I almost always zoom in at the start of the session, meaning the default font size is too small for my eyes. It would be nice to also have an option/preference for that...

Too bad about the buggy orientation change... In my own app, I used the same old hack you had in GRead, only instead of the "sleep(2)" between the two commands, I set a QTimer.singleshot with a callback (am I being clear ? :-). Seems to work OK, even if the screen sometimes flickers once after a change. But then it's a lot simpler than GRead...

Anyway, portait mode is not something I'd use much in GRead right now, because of the lack of navigation. To be usable it would really need a few buttons for the basics (again, like in grr). Or am I missing something ?

Thanks for the new version all the same... and looking forward to the next :-)
