RSS Reader
-
Check a few pages down in this forum. A post was entered yesterday touting the Pluck RSS aggregator, and it does look quite nice. I've downloaded it, but not yet installed it, but Paul Watson has tried it. Check out his comments. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Hi Roger, Pluck RSS seems good, but it is Beta version. I'd like to install some RSS Reader, which is not in Beta version. "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." -Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu
Ahem. Awasu[^] is up to version 2.0! Not many RSS readers out there with such a high version number :-) :rolleyes:

Indeed you are :-) You need to prefix the file path with "file://" - I do it all the time for testing. It needs to be done this way since file paths without it are interpreted as plugins that are to be executed.

The dialog for adding a feed needs clarifying in that case - the text on the New Channel dialog indicates that the feed 'must start with "http://"'.

I like FeedDemon[^]. I'm still using the trial and love it. It's got a great interface and good support. It is $30 to register, though. For what it's worth, I'm considering buying it (or writing my own, which I really don't have time for right now).

One is a decent Outlook integrating NEWS aggreGATOR, and the other is PC destroying crap, the developers of which should probably be forced to each tins of SPAM0 from here to eternity.

Ian Darling wrote: The dialog for adding a feed needs clarifying in that case I spent a lot of time trying to dream up a way to clarify this but in the end didn't bother. It's really a corner case - how many times are people going to want to pull in a feed from a local file? :-) Maybe off a networked file, perhaps, but there's a good chance there will be a local web server running somewhere anyway.
