[Rssowl-users] RSS Owl newbie questions

Hi there,

I just installed RSSOwl v1.2.3 2006-11-26 (Windows;U;en). In general I
like it! There are a few questions I have.

1. Is there a way to archive blog posts? In Thunderbird I would move
entries to a folder I created for items I wanted to keep for future
reference. I am assuming that RSSOwl deletes items marked as "read"
automatically. Can this action be user configured?

2. When I use "newstip" sometimes I get the following error:

"Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not
have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

This does not happen to all entries! How are you dealing with this error?

I am the admin on this host. I have 10 years experience with both MS
and Linux. I am hoping to use your application on both Windows and
Linux (Ubuntu dapper)hosts in the future.

Thanks in advance,
-Bruce

This is something that will be supported in RSSOwl 2 (see boreal.rssowl.org)
and is/will not be supported in RSSOwl 1.

It could well be that the newstip is getting too big for windows to handle.
In the end I am just calling a mailto-link in order to open your default
mail client. Did you configure the newstip to include the description of the
news? If yes, try removing that.

Regards,
Ben
