Oops, should have thought of that. I put it into the user directory & works fine from there.

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 ?).-
I second that. I find the all white makes it hard to see the unread items. Coupled with that the read items still show until I manually refresh, makes reading a little harder.

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...
+1 vote on 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 ?
I for one prefer portrait mode over landscape, so I please really hope you get this fixed.

Thanks for the app. Really starting to look good.
