*I now find the swipe sensitivity to be perfect.
*& and italics fixed.
*Article text size config is very helpful, too.

My most used app. Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update!
- swipe sensitivity is perfekt now (for me)
- article font size is also much appreciated.

Swipe is perfect for me too, thank you! Great application, sets me up perfectly for reading engadget and other feeds on the subway now...

Great work!

I tried to install this but it says package missing: libxslt (>=1.1.18).
Where do I find that from and how come no one else seems to have had this problem?

@Bret, Is the "Nokia Applications" catalogue enabled in the Application Manager? I think that library is in there.

More text tags are not showing correctly - em dash, for example, but others using symbol text are also not rendering properly.

i have currently only 2 things that i see could be improved:

1, when i take my phone out of my pocket and switch over 2 feedingit many times it is in portrait mode, even if it is now in landscape (and the keboard can also be slided out but thats another small request) i really have to trigger a extra change so first hold the phone in portrait and then back then it goes to landscape, it would be nice if feeding it gets an event that it is now shown (to front/made active) that it chekcs for the current orientation of the phone.

2, many times when i click on a link in a message, i dont really notice if it is loading, so cant really see if my click was catched. it would be nice to have some loading indicator somewhere.

Good idea.

I agree that would be helpful, but I think the real problem is that launching webkit takes much too long. I've seen 11-12 seconds before the screen shifts, then another 6-7 before the webkit page renders. Furthering the problem is the fact that finger scrolling on certain webkit pages is nearly imossible. I am pretty sure Slocan is waiting for PR1.2 to addrress these issues.

Great app, the only thing I miss is an option to automatic update the feeds when starting the application.

@jcompagner: 1. I'm using the portrait.py that was posted in the forums some time ago, which listens to messages sent by the MCE daemon to notify of orientation changes. I do have a feeling that some messages are not sent under some circumstances. Not an area I know much about, but I'll try to poke at it.
2. I'd like to add some loading indicator as well. But i'm kind of waiting for PR1.2 to see what will be available in regards to the Qt libraries, and possibly make the switch to that for the UI, like sorodoros said.

@cipper: you can actually trigger an update by starting the app with the command:
"FeedingIt update" (without the quotes) from the X-terminal, or by changing the app shortcut (not sure if there is an easy way to do so, other than editing the .desktop file).
