When RSSOwl’s database was around 2GB in size, it stopped working correctly.īut when you don’t need to archive the articles of so many feeds, you wouldn’t have a problem with this, of course. I used it with several hundred feeds (at some point more than 2000) and I let it archive the plain text content of most of them. Especially the search is great (you can add saved searches as a "virtual" feed):īut it had (probably still has) a fixed limit for the database size: My primary requirements were: FLOSS, GNU/Linux support, a good/complex search function, and the ability to save/archive all feed articles (i.e., the fulltext content). I used RSSOwl for a very long time and I was very happy with it. In addition to your subscriptions, you can export labels, news filters and settings to easily setup RSSOwl on a different computer. Use the Export Wizard to export your list of subscriptions including saved searches and news bins to a file. I always copied the configuration files directly. IIRC, the configuration could also be imported/exported, but I never tried that. (But such an export only includes the URLs, not the downloaded/archived content.) You can import/export all feeds (including custom folders) as OPML. Most of the configuration can be done in the GUI, yes. Should have configuration interface and I can import/export both the configuration and feeds list. If not, you may use the embedded browser (never used this myself). If the feed supports it, you can read the full article in RSSOwl. You can right-click any feed and copy its URL.Īllow me to read before clicking the link The notifier can show article excerpts, and also supports some key bindings. You can see a short screen cast about the notifier (using Windows, though). I never used them, so I don’t know if they use libnotify, but I guess not. Would be nice to notify me using the desktop notifications about new entries (either using libnotify or other blob) You can also manually update feeds (again, per feed, folder or globally). The default only applies when you don’t overwrite it per feed/folder, of course. You can set the automatic update frequency per feed, per folder/subfolder, and as global default. Should allow adjust the frequency of updates (preferably per feed) If you have Eclipse, you may install RSSOwl as plugin.) Your requirements (I’m not sure, it may, technically, be a plugin for Eclipse, but it comes as a stand-alone tool, so you don’t need to install Eclipse beforehand I guess it just reuses it as a framework, i.e., you don’t have Eclipse after installing RSSOwl. supports the various RSS formats and Atom.available cross-platform (GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows).I have used RSSOwl daily for several years.
