Hi, I did some experiments how a xml file storing a couple of predefined Feeds should look like. Here's my proposal: <!DOCTYPE dictionary> <dictionary> <category name="news"> <feed title="orf.online" lang="de" url="rss.orf.at"> <description><![CDATA[News auf ORF.at]]></description> </feed> <feed title="sport.orf.online" lang="de" url="rss.orf.at"> <description><![CDATA[Sport Nachrichten auf ORF.at]]></description> </feed> <feed title="SourceForge.net: SF.net Project News: RSS Viewer" lang="en" url="http://sourceforge.net/export/rss2_projnews.php?group_id=49388"> <description><![CDATA[SF.net Project News: RSS Viewer (rssview project) - RSS Viewer is a Java-based ticker application. It uses JAXP to parse RSS-sites (RDF site summary). It is easy to use and easy to configure. It has 2 different views: a browser-like view and a simple ticker-view]]></description> </feed> </category> </dictionary> We'll need some kind of language key for useful dictionaries (example above). I created some Code to read this information. How should we present it? JTable, JTextPane, JScrollPane with panels? I think a flat hierarchy should work because a user will not want to import our categorizations (tree)? Or would he?

Flat representation as a JList in a JScrollPane. Single item (JLabel with Icon): -------------------------------------------- | icon | channel name | -------------------------------------------- Double-clicking it should suffice to add it in the default folder. Icon size about 32x32 or 48x48. Martin |

Dictionary is perhaps not the right name <directory> would fit better. For name uniqueness we will use namespaces and no prefixes! >> <dictionary> >> <category name="news"> >> <feed >> title="orf.online" >> lang="de" >> url="rss.orf.at"> >> <description><![CDATA[News auf ORF.at]]></description> > > I'm missing my icon here and the specification FROM WHERE > it is going to be downloaded. Work for a minute :) As I said proposal/experiment. > Also missing "default folder". What's "default folder"? >> We'll need some kind of language key for useful dictionaries (example >> above).

Is not useful for displaying long text (e.g. description) - perhaps some detail field with an icon, description would be nice. ASCII Art example: Channel List Detail -------------------- --------------- |channel1 | | name | |channel2 | | description | |channel3 | | icon | |.... | | | | | | addButton | | | --------------- | | -------------------- Hope that outlook does not clutter my artwork :) Double-click could add of course. We would not need to load all(or a lot of them) icons but one! Then common feed icon sizes would be no problem (see icon scaling in our Folder tree). > Single item (JLabel with Icon): > -------------------------------------------- >> icon | channel name | > -------------------------------------------- > > Double-clicking it should suffice to add it > in the default folder. > > Icon size about 32x32 or 48x48. > Well, well!

Or is it better to create it in the root of the tree and let the user decide where to put it? Martin |

Even unexperienced users know = how to deal with a tree structure (explorer).=20 Cheers Christoph |
