#17 Get the title of feeds automatically

[Anonymous]

Right now whenever we try to add a feed by
clicking 'New' and then 'Favourite', it asks for both
the feed URL and the title.

Please make it like bloglines and others, so it
automatically gets the title of the feed through the
feed when you click the Tickmark without having to
type it yourself.

Also, i have to manually select '30 minutes' for
the 'Update how often' dropdown box. All of my feeds
have the same setting. It should automatically select
30 minutes instead of 'No update' by default by now.

Hi there,

>Get the title of feeds automatically

This feature currently only works if you click a link
pointing to a newsfeed within a web page in the internal
browser. But i agree with you that at least the default
title of a newsfeed should be suggested. This is currenly
not implemented since the newsfeed is not requested and
parsed at the time a favorite is about to be created.
Compromise would be to add a button and/or configuration
option which inserts the title of the newsfeed in the
appropriate field in the creation dialog. It's ony my list
for the next release.

This option already exsists. Have a look at the "Favorites"
branch in the application preferences. Under "Favorite
settings" you can configure the default update interval to
use when creating a new favorite. The same works for
categories as well.

Thanks for your commitment.
