RSS Bandit Feed Reader Gets Much Needed Features
Posted by Kyle Eslick on March 15th, 2007 | Category and Tags
RSS Bandit is an open source feed reader that has always been my second favorite desktop feed reader, but has never been quite as nice as the GreatNews feed reader that I use primarily.
I was pleased to see CyberNet News recently report that RSS Bandit 1.5 has had some much needed features added. According to CyberNet:
Here is a list of other features that you’ll find in this release, along with links that explains each of them in a little more detail:
- Comment Watching
- Items marked as read when viewed in the Newspaper
- Date-based grouping in the list view
- Options for opening tabs in the background
- Favicons
- Enclosures treated as attachments
- Certain user defined enclosures treated as podcasts including adding to playlists in iTunes and Windows media player
- Remembering application state on restart - This will work similar to the Session Saver extension in Firefox in that open tabs and the tree view state will be remembered on restart
- Revamping the search feature - We’ve moved the implementation of feed search to Lucene.Net from our custom feed search implementation which should make searches faster and provide richer search options.
- Support for Atom Threading Extensions
- Easily configurable keyboard shortcuts - Just right-click when hovering over the toolbar menu and choose “Customizeâ€.
