RE: Dangers in making FD semi-portable?

critter42 — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:24:40 GMT

Actually, more people than you might think do it that way (less now that synching's available, but I imagine there's still a good number out there). The only thing is IIRC, FD needs to be shut down when the thumb drive isn't available (and I think the drive letter needs to stay the same for simplicity's sake). People who actually use thumb drives for cache can give better answers, of course (Jack, didn't you use to use a thumb drive at one point?)

RE: Unable to subscribe, but page opens

mpcsmits — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 10:04:06 GMT

So far no luck adding it. I can add it without the "Check for problems" option into a non-sync folder, but it will not update.

The link to the feed is available from the main paga at www.myeclipseide.com. And when clicking it from there from the FeedDemon browser window the web browser is opening it. And will invoke the wizard.

I can add it as feed in IE7. Haven't tried another feed reader yet though.

Dangers in making FD semi-portable?

Su — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:47:12 GMT

I was wondering if there are any potential circumstances I might not be considering if I move FD's cache directory to an external drive, thereby being able to take it with me while travelling without having to do a tedious copy back and forth at departure and return.

I'm aware that the actual app will need to be installed on each machine, and that some config may(will?) not be moved along. I'm fine with that.

Thoughts?

RE: Continued Run Time Errors

critter42 — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:21:24 GMT

Something enabled the script debugger. It's been a while and I can't find a specific reference right now, but ISTR that if you install VBA for Microsoft Office products or install one of their other software development packages (like the VB Express products), Microsoft Script Debugging gets enabled. I also seem to dimly recall that there was some application/activeX control downloaded for IE that would turn it on also.

How about adding OpenClip Copy/Paste framework support to NetNewsWire

stukey — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:19:37 GMT

Hi Brent

Love the iPhone version of NetNewsWire and can't wait for the next update. Just wondered if you'd heard of [url=http://www.openclip.org/]OpenClip[/url]. It's an open source framework for adding cross application copy/paste functionality to iPhone apps. It's an interim solution until Apple adds full copy/paste support to the iPhone OS. I think it would be really useful in NetNewsWire to be able to copy/paste text from feeds or perhaps URLs into other iPhone apps.

Hope you'll consider it...

Cheers,

Stu

RE: Unable to add feeds from webcomicsnation.com

Sounds like the domain expired and got parked at some point via a permanent redirect and for whatever reason NewsGator's servers haven't picked up that the domain's been rescued and is valid -feeds from this domain will probably need a manual nudge from NewsGator's end.

(also I fixed your post - the angle bracketed URIs were being hidden by the forum software, so I changed them to curly brackets)

Edit: According to this thread at the Talk About Comics board, that looks like what happened. The thread dates it to 7/26 or 7/27, but I don't see a restoration date.

[quote][b]Nick Bradbury (5/22/2008)[/b][hr]Hi Nardi,

I believe what you're seeing is due to IE's script debugger being enabled. This knowledge base article describes how to disable it.

Hi Nick,

I also got this error and before posting it, fortunately I searched for it and ... found this posting which solved my problem/error! THANK YOU !! :)

Nevertheless I would be interested to understand WHY I had to do that ???

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards, Jean-Claude.

feeds disappearing

albe77 — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:12:03 GMT

Hi there, new user (of the forum) here.

I use NNW for Mac OS X and for iPhone. Starting from August 18th these two feeds:

www.gazzetta.it/rss/Home.xml

www.corriere.it/rss/homepage.xml

stopped updating. I checked the feeds on the websites, and there are new feeds. I tried to unsubscribe and subscribe again from NNW-Mac OS X, with no result.

I then tried to unsubscribe and subscribe again from NGO, and after that it downloaded the feeds, but didn't update anymore. There's an error message saying the feed was not found, and if I check it, it's different from the one I subscribed; it changed automatically the address respectively to:

http://www.corriere.it/appsSondaggi/pages/corriere/archivio.jsprss/Home.xml

http://www.corriere.it/appsSondaggi/pages/corriere/archivio.jsprss/homepage.xml

I don't understand what's happening. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much

Unable to add feeds from webcomicsnation.com

David Menendez — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 04:07:46 GMT

I subscribe to a few feeds hosted at webcomicsnation.com. Last month, NewsGator stopped updating those feeds (possibly because of DNS problems). The ping feature in NewsGator Online does not appear to have any effect.

An example feed URI:
{http://www.webcomicsnation.com/rss.php?type=creator&creator=14}

However, the feed list gives the URI as:
{http://expired.revenuedirect.com/park.php?domain_name=WEBCOMICSNATION.COM&site_id=38206}

I've tried unsubscribing to the feeds and resubscribing, using the correct URIs, but the feeds still do not update and the incorrect revenuedirect.com URI still shows up in the feed list.

Edit: fixed it so URIs are displayed correctly in post

RE: App does nothing

yinyang — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 04:00:09 GMT

I'm also having this problem, though I'm not sure if it's only because I've upgraded to iPhone software 2.0.2 yesterday. I had on issues with the app last week when on 2.0.1 but hadn't tried it for a few days since, so can't categorically point the finger at apple....!

yet :)

RE: Am I missing something?

Louise — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:51:48 GMT

Not in the processed preview.

There is of course the box spy but may not be what you want. In case you have are not acquainted with the box spy,Ctrl D, generates the Preview. on the second line of the Preview Panel, click on the spinner (arrow head) besides the spectacles icon and enable the box spy. Passing the mouse over the processed page discloses the element, and if a class/id supplies its name.

However, if the Preview is being generated, the document source would be in the Editor would it not? In the source, right click on the opening tag of the element and select Related Styles and then select the appropriate. (an element may be styled in a linked style sheet and/or a style block at the top of the document). This will cause the linked style sheet to open in the Editor, and moves the cursor to that declaration as it will in the style block as appropriate.

RE: Unable to add wordpress feed

-XoX- — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:03:12 GMT

Brent,

The mybrunners.com site has never had plugins running and I turned off all plugins on the dogpile site when I validated the feed yesterday.

Also, just so everyone knows I am using WordPress version 2.6.1

RE: Browser Launching inconsistant

Nick Harris — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:35:39 GMT

It's how Outlook interprets the link so Inbox doesn't actually have control over which browser Outlook launches.

I also use FireFox, so from the NewsPage I'll click the title of the post which brings it up in its own Outlook window then click on the post link from there. It will always open in FireFox that way.

App does nothing

Officious Pedant — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:21:22 GMT

I got this app because of the ease with which its PC and Mac cousins work for me, but I'm really glad I did not pay for it.

When I first got it, it synched without a hitch, and everything was fine. The very next time I went to look at it, nothing happened. I selected the icon, a background opened, but no feed names, no apparent network activity, no nothing. It just crashed back to the desktop. Given that it was free, I just put it aside until the update, but that didn't help either.

So, I guess I'll just strip the thing out. Maybe I'll add it back, I don't know.
