Comments on: Now Using GreatNews to Read Feeds http://planetozh.com/blog/2005/11/now-using-greatnews-to-read-feeds/?source=rss A bit of my personal life, mainly focused on my kids. A bit of code, mainly focused on Wordpress and PHP. Overall, bits of nothing in particular.

You can add following lines to GreatNews.ini [Advanced] NumOfConcurrentUpdate=3 ChannelUpdateTimeout=20 the timeout is set in seconds. Thanks. Jack Ozh, there are some hidden options to control these. You can add following lines to GreatNews.ini

I'd like an option that would set timeout and maximum number of outgoing connections (when refreshing feeds). Indeed, on really slow connection like mine at work behind a poor firewall, things sometimes time out. Feeddemmon has an option like this, very handy for the poorly connected.

The "locations" of the settings weren't quite right, but at least I could look for them and found them. I now have GreatNews configured perfectly. Never thought I would see the day I would find an RSS aggregator that worked the way I wanted it to. I don't see any donation links. If you ever put one up, you will defiantly get one from me!

I'm glad you like GreatNews. :D Steve, there's an option to use external browser with GreatNews. (Tools->Usability->Open RSS links in external default browser). The wording is probably very confusing. Dave, if News List is turned on(from Tools->News List), you can click at the Date column to set sort order. ozh, Thanks for the praise.

Wed, 30 Nov 2005 18:09:34 +0000 http://frenchfragfactory.net/ozh/?p=425#comment-3093 The best part of this reader is that it can be run from an USB Thumb drive just fine. I'm doing so right now. :) I have been using Bloglines pretty much since they started up, but I just don't like the occasional down times. Now I can carry my rss feeds around with me and not worry about Bloglines servers being down. :) What I would like to see: The ability to open a page in an external browser like Firefox, the external default browser would be fine. I would also like to change the sort order to show oldest posts first. I don't like reading posts in the wrong order. Especially personal blogs where chronology is important. Other than that, a really great reader! The best part of this reader is that it can be run from an USB Thumb drive just fine. I’m doing so right now. :)
