    RSS Owl 2.0.2 - 2.0.3. Java SE 6 up 17 (build 1.6.0_17-b04)

    When opening RSS Owl I get the attached error "Save Indexer News that have
    been committed"

    Also, clicking into the feeds section in the preferences I get another error
    "com.db4o.ext.Db4oException"

    I have attached screenshots of both issues.

    I too have a problem with the recently installed upgrade. First I had this
    error as Matt_nels is talking about, and now the program simply wont open.

    My RSS Owl is now working.

    First I made sure I had the most recent backup.opml. Then uninstalled RSS Owl,
    deleted the RSSOwl folder in Program Files, then deleted the .rssowl folder
    under my user profile.

    After a re-install, and import of the backup.opml, everything seems to be
    working fine. Try this out distella01..

    Using the OPML means that all news are lost (feeds, filters, searches,
    preferences are restored). To restore to a previous backup with all news,
    please refer to
    http://www.rssowl.org/help#item_6

    Can both of you send me the error log (export from help menu)?

    What's happening is that RSSowl fails to start. The icon opens, load to about
    half, and then the icon dissapears. I uninstaled the program twice, and still
    the same thing happens.

    even after restoring)

    Works real good, I followed your advise ! What might have cause this bog ? Is
    it because I have too many feeds ?

    Ok, RssOwl finally works, but I still have one problem ! The programs opens,
    but it seems that everything I do don't works.

    An exemple, I erased my saved search, close the program, when reopening the
    program, all my previously "erased" search appears

    Can you run Tools > Clean Up with the 2 recommended operations at the end to
    see if it makes things better?
