Sorry to start a new thread but all a "
+update +start-up" search could find was
[i]How exactly does the update feed option work?[/i] which (A) fails to mention my problem and (B) predates 2.1.2 by a couple of weeks.
I'd been happily running RSS Owl through several versions with both auto-update options ticked for start-up and every 30m thereafter (just a global setting with no attempt to differentiate folders) but recently got fed up with alert interruptions and so unticked the periodic option -
the gotcha being that the start-up option doesn't actually seem to work (on its own at least) as I now have to manually trigger a global update every time I fire up 2.1.2.
FTR:[ul]
- I did try compromising by reticking the periodic option and changing 'minutes' to 'days' (hence 30 days) but all to no avail :/
- Like douno (who started the abovementioned thread) I shut my PC down every night - versus your hibernation assumption, my pragmatic reason for doing so is WinXP's internet infrastructure habitually crashing at least every 24-36 hours and my preferring to reboot on a routine daily basis rather than interrupt my work to do so at monotously-frequent random intervals.[/ul]
PS (big hint): Trust I've got the BBCode right since there's no preview pane to validate it !!!
