Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

What do you mean by it's not included? If there is a white background when you read articles, then you are using the webkit widget (and there is no other option, except for old versions of the app). What's not working? I know it's not the fastest at rendering when you click on a link, and scrolling can be a bit sluggish on heavy page, but it's not meant to be a full-featured browser.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Thanks sorodoros. Looks like one of your feed is broken. There is probably one of them you can't go in to read, and that breaks the Mark All button. Easiest way to fix is to delete that feed, and re-add it. I'll add some fixes/checks in next update.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Ah, sorry, I rechecked it and you are right, it is there.
There recently was a version in which webkit functionality seemed to have disappeared but at least the latest has it definitely included.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Indeed, you are correct. Thanks for the "fix." :)

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

"Millions .de domains" is rendered as "<nobr> <wbr> </noby>. domains"

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Done in 0.6.2 (and a few more things).

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Great. Also these:

*All archived articles read like thishttp://lh3.ggpht.com/_587Wk-3x3vI/S-...xI/Arcived.png

*In the reader I have been seeing a lot of video or other placeholders rendered as &&&&& or &video;&Security;

These two things would be nice to fix. :)

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

That's before you update the ArchivedArticles feed (or maybe it failed for whatever reason). The message could be clearer though...

The webkit version used is fairly old, and not meant as a full-scale browser. Some newer content won't work. Using the "Open in External Browser" button is probably the way to go for these.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Got it. Thanks.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

I especially like those "few more things". Great work, exactly what I always wanted.

Another idea to greatly improve usability (and make your life harder):

Click on a feed shows the article headers right below it (moving all other feeds down the line), clicking again closes them.
Double click opens the normal article header list as seen today.

This gives a rather quick overview what is interesting and what not in a single window.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

I like the Opera browser. Is there a way to use it with FeedingIt?

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

you guys now that any rss feed you download with this app is screwing up your rootfs?got that app for 3 days and every day i lose 10 mb in rootfs so i terminate this app.....

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

I've been using it for months and constantly check my rootfs. It isn't causing that kind of problem. I would now be at least 600 mb lower, which I would tend to notice in rootfs.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

i wouldnt say that everyone had these issues with the app but i had it so someone else can have it too.i dont want to flame someone im just saying beware!!
p.s after deinstalling the app i got my 30 mb back,now got 80 mb and im happy with it.....

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

I use it all the time as well with no issues in my rootfs. Are you sure it was FeedingiI?

Fred

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

What do you want to do with Opera? I have Opera set as my default browser with browser switchboard (string = "opera %s") so that when I choose open in web I get an Opera window.

I don't know how to automatically load feed addresses from Opera to FeedingIt. Maybe someone else can answer that.

Fred

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

yes im sure i look before and after every install from extras-devel on my root space.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

FeedingIt uses very minimal space on the rootfs. There are only a couple of text files that are needed for the shortcuts/dbus, a launcher script and a couple of icons. It's quite under 100kB if I remember correctly.

If you use the image cache, that is stored in /home/user/.feedingit/ and can grow fairly large if you have feeds using large images, but that's not stored on the rootfs, that's the 2GB disk.

As mentioned, if Opera is supported by the browser-switchboard program, opening links to external browser from FeedingIt would open in Opera.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

No problems with rootfs for me either. Great application, thank you for all your hard work - definately one of the best on the n900!

Quick question, how hard would it be to make the widget semi-transparent - Similar to the Calendar widget. If this is possible could it be made optional via a user preference?

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Dear developer(s) I have a sugesstion , can you create an indicator so that we can see which feed we are reading ( for example 10 out of 21) its sometimes hard to navigate and see how many feeds are there to read

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Can I have sugesstions for you

1.,The FeedinIt should support Select text I want to save and Copy/Paste function,all right?
2.How do I keep one item i instested for a longer time?

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

That's something I want to do, but haven't yet done. Need to do some more research on cairo and such...

Do you mean when reading articles? That should be fairly doable, to add something as the title.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

1. Text selection is tricky to do, I don't have any good solution to enable that in a useful way.
2. You can add articles to the Archived Articles (there is a button available when reading an article), and it will download the whole article at the next update, and stay there until you remove it (note that I just uploaded a fix for that in extras-devel, coming to -testing soon).

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

YES! it would be good to add title just make it visible only for 2-3 seconds

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

I'm having trouble installing this on PR1.2 Global :(

I've reflashed my phone so I'm starting from scratch and one of the first things I wanted was FeedingIt. when I try to install it it says the package "libxslt1.1(>=1.1.18)" is missing.

Anyone got any ideas on what I've done wrong?

Thank you :)

Edit: Nevermind, not sure what I've done but for some reason now it'll install. Weird. At least I can use FeedingIt again :D

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

I think that library is in the official Nokia repository. So most likely, something happened that it couldn't download it (either they were messing with the repository, or maybe your device didn't update its cache, or something like that). But I'm glad to hear it's working now.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

The latest update with the Desktop widget is awesome - I like it!

Here's a sneak preview of how the feed list and item list could look like when realized with GtkTreeView instead of buttons. I've submitted the patches to Yves already, let's see if they get accepted :)

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

the latest version with pr1.2 crashes a lot for me, always when i open it in the embedded browser when clicking on the feedlink and then start scrolling, this is the error:

/opt/FeedingIt $ FeedingIt
FeedingIt.py:937: GtkWarning: gdk_drawable_set_colormap: assertion `cmap == NULL || gdk_drawable_get_depth (drawable) == cmap->visual->depth' failed
gtk.main()
Aborted

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Well even better- with the tree view article headers could be sorted in the tree and the feed could be folded and unfolded by clicking the feed node.
This would not even spoil usability as double clicking could open the article list like before. Oh, well, I already mentioned this a few days ago :cool:

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

I only upgraded last night, and haven't been able to reproduce this yet. Does it happen with specific feeds more than others?
That message seems related to DirectFB (hardware graphics library), so could be something specific to display on the page, or the library isn't loaded properly. Did you try maybe a reboot of the phone (as a long shot)?


Ofels, your idea is under consideration, but I don't think I can do it in the short term in a way that'd satisfy me.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

I've noticed that no feedburner.com hosted rss feeds will work under Maemo's native RSS reader. Do they work under FeedingIt?

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Yes, I have myself a few of them that work fine. Make sure you use the URL from the "View Feed XML" link.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

it always does it for me on the same feeds
i also used these feeds for a long time before 1.2 so maybe nokia did introduce a bug?

this is the feed:

http://www.nu.nl/feeds/rss/algemeen.rss

it a dutch feed, if i go for exmple to 'snelwegen bij utrecht verbreed' open this in the embedded browser scroll down and at the moment you get advertisment it will crash at my place now and then. (i think it matters what kind of advertisment they display)

if that feed is already gone i guess try some others in that feed many do have the same problem

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

[OLD]Hmm for me with PR1.2 desktop widget always shows black... Known or a possible issue? Anything I can help debug?[/OLD]

Well the issue was with the theme.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

I can confirm that it shows black. Process of elimination to work out that it was FeedingIt :-(

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

After the upgrade, you might need to remove and re-add the widget so it refreshes (changing theme would probably do the same). I haven't been able to reproduce or get any kind of messages.
If you are able to reproduce, you can send me the /home/user/.feedingit/feedingit_widget.log file.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

You're right. After i removed and re-added it appears fine. Cheers.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

0.7.0-1 is now in Extras-devel to integrate what Thp and Nelson have sent me. This add in particular:
- TreeViews to display the feeds and articles (instead of buttons) (Thp)
- About button (Thp)
- Hide read feeds and articles setting in Preferences menu (Nelson)

@jcompagner: I have read more Dutch in a day than the rest of my life, but haven't been able to reproduce the crash. Is it still happening? The only advice I have at the moment would be to open the link in the external browser (see menu item)

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

yes i still get it also in the latest release, pretty constant, i cant read almost any news item from the feed i gave above, i think 1 out of 5 doesnt crash but the rest is crashing when i start scrolling through the page (seems to crash even faster when i start scrolling when the page is still loading)

~ $ FeedingIt
FeedingIt.py:1012: GtkWarning: gdk_drawable_set_colormap: assertion `cmap == NULL || gdk_drawable_get_depth (drawable) == cmap->visual->depth' failed
gtk.main()
Aborted

after a crash i restarted but feeding it doesnt fully load and keeps just the spinning circle:

~ $ FeedingIt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "FeedingIt.py", line 815, in createWindow
self.pannableListing.set_label("Update in progress, please wait.")
AttributeError: 'hildon.PannableArea' object has no attribute 'set_label'

so it thinks it is updating? normally if that is the case the cpu spikes and a python proccess taking up many slices. now this is not the case.

after a wait and still nothing happens i close it and see this in the console:

l'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "FeedingIt.py", line 1080, in <module>
app.run()
File "FeedingIt.py", line 1013, in run
self.listing.saveConfig()
AttributeError: FeedingIt instance has no attribute 'listing'

i guess i need to delete some config area and start over..

p.s. the about info isnt updating i fist though i was still at 0.6.
