can you beautify it to not generate an extra blank line with a few spaces
in it after each line of xml information. It trims down my 7 mb headlines
to 6,3 - I still have the suspicion that size matters when crashing the
database.

Even though it is set wrong by my blog software, I figured, that there is
an indicator for how often something is updated.
 		<sy:updatePeriod>hourly</sy:updatePeriod>
		<sy:updateFrequency>1</sy:updateFrequency>

Feedreader might take this and suggests how often something is updated when
a feed is added. If it does not find it, <default< should be selected and a
drop down of available times. It belongs to 'new feed' plus it could be a
very visible addition. This is a 'after next release' thing ;)

Remember people like me with many feeds and this constantly crashing the
database. As I suggested before, please give me a 'save now' button so I
don't have to close and reopen fr.

btw is there a reason I don't get this anymore? Have I missed a 'stop
popping up'? Only my new amazon feed did this for two times but stopped
also

Is it possivle, that fr tries to display the headlines of the just fetched
feed in the treeview?

If I start FR, click some feeds (to fetch them) it seems as if it is trying
to catch up in displaying (and gets confused). I want to click them and
then click again on an already fetched one to start reading. It looks like
it pops up the new fetched headlines from the others or jumps to the new
headlines as if it wants to show 'look what i've got!'

>* Splash Screen could perhaps show version number

have it.

So, now I am going to test the new version and am hoping to get some feeds
for the first time this week *sigh*
