Does it make the 1.0b4 extension work better? After I download your Feed Reader, is it necessary to download the RCDefaultApp? I read the page and still don’t understand what it does. Hi: I am trying to get a handle on this now that I have to add a third party RSS reader. I am writing myself a bug report to look into this more carefully when I get a chance. Really weird.Īdam – thanks for the report. If I invoke this same function by clicking on the button, nothing bad happens. If I invoke the “create anchor tag” function through the keyboard shortcut and type a URL into the resulting dialog box, Safari crashes after I hit return on that dialog box. There are also keyboard equivalents–control B/I/U. Metafilter’s posting textfield has a few buttons below it for applying bold/italic/anchor tags to selected text. With Subscribe to Feed enabled, I encounter a problem at when using that site’s built-in Javascript-based shortcuts for creating links in posts or comments. You need to download a desktop RSS app and configure it as the default news app on your Mac in order for the extension to work meaningfully. These applications no longer support reading RSS. If that default reader was Safari or Mail, it’s not going to work. It merely replicates the old behavior of Safari that the RSS button would open the feed in *your default RSS Reader*. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.ĮP: sorry the post was not more clear about this, but the extension does not add RSS reading functionality to Safari. However, if I try to load a feed, like: feed://Mail launches – I do not see the feed in Safari. Extensions are ON and the extension is installed and I can see the RSS icon in the Safari toolbar. I left a message over at their support forum.ġ0b4 does not work in Safari 6 under 10.7.4 – or I am doing something wrong. Yeah, I am pretty sure it’s a RSSOwl problem. If you manually type a feed URL into Safari’s address bar, e.g.:įeed://Does it exhibit the same problem (opens RSSOwl but nothing happens)? This would indicate a general problem with opening feed URLs that is not specifically related to my extension. Maybe it’s not designed to properly handle feed: URLs, but the system thinks it is, for some reason. Hi Norm – If it is coming up in RSSOwl but nothing else happens, it’s probably an issue in RSSOwl in particular. I hit the tool bar button and up come my reader RSSOwl. Mail used to handle RSS in 10.7 but they took that feature out, hence the error message you’re seeing. You have to have a dedicated RSS client on your Mac to take advantage of the extension. Hi Linda – see the comments in the post about “RCDefaultApp”. Help….when I hit the subscribe to feed button, I get an error message in mail that states: Error: No associated application could be found. Nice improvement over the previous version. Thanks a million for this very useful extension. Thank you for building, and maintaining this extension.
