I like the ‘mark everthing as read’ button, but it only show when I check ‘only show unread’ in options, which normally I don’t. So, I check, mark, uncheck a lot!

That’s a lot of extra clicking.

Small nit, I know, but…

Hi Mike,
The only time I’ve seen that feed in our logs it was returning 404 errors (not found) and that was a few days ago. Are you still having problems with it?

I’m having trouble getting my site’s RSS feeds working on the Hutch. They work fine in Thunderbird and Netvibes, but in Newshutch there’s no title and it doesn’t recognize updates. A sample xml feed is:

Any help would be appreciated

Great update!
After 3 weeks without internet access, I was curious to see how Newshutch would handle the accumulated items, and so far it looks good! Now I just need to find the time to read my 4000+ feed items! >_

Great additions to this feed reader. Now I just need a context menu for the feedlist such that I can mark a feed as read, update a feed etc.

I totally agree about Flags. While I’m psyched to have the feature, it seems way to far away to get to it. I’d love for you to consider adding a 4th tab for “Flagged.”

Thanks for my favorite reader.

I love flagged items; but I do not want to go to another screen to click a preference. View my flags, then return to a pref screen to uncheck it. Can’t I just choose “unread” itmes AND flagged items. Or can all my flagged item live in a separate folder. Or just put the check box on the “read” pane instead of the options tab.

Great app. I love it.

alles klar and R�ttgar,

Try clearing your cache to fix the FF blue bar and Opera issues. If that doesn’t work, let me know.

Thanks.

The flagged idea is great, but way too many clicks. I would think that moving the checkbox to the top of the “Read” column would be more helpful. That might just be me though.

Daniel, I agree. The less clicks the better.

btw I HAVE found the “show flagged” in options, but it wasnt really what I was hoping for. Perhaps a tab between “Read” and “Manage” called “Flagged” would be a good idea. Showing all flagged entries. That would make for a shorter trip and more usability than having to go in to options every time.

Whoa, my typing is terrible, #4 should read, just uncheck “Show Flagged Entries”.

Guys - clicking the flag icon on an article will in essence save the article for you. If you click on “Mark all as read” your flagged items do not go away, they are veiwable by doing the following:

1) Click on the Options tab at the top of the sidebar.
2) Check “Show Flagged Items”. The sidebar content will change to show your flagged items.
3) Click the “Read” tab and begin re-reading or viewing your flagged items.
4) When you want to go back to your regular feeds, just uncheck the “Show Falled Entried” item. The sidebar content then returns to your regular feeds.

Hope that helps!

Also you seem to have fixed the display problems in Opera: Now the feeds won’t open at all
