Beta testing 3.1.0.3

While working through the online help I became aware of a few bugs. I was also reminded of a few things that I meant to fix ages ago, but because of my “wonderful” memory, I’d forgotten all about.

Here are the changes and fixes I’ve made to 3.1.0.3: -

1. The label on the category properties form read Feed Name. I have changed the label so that it’ll now read Name on both the category properties form and the feed properties page.
2. I have killed the entire Search Feedster interface. The interface was a mess and Feedster no longer exists.
3. The default subject lines for a feed shared via email and an item shared via email, were transposed. The default subject lines for these emails has been fixed.
4. The password form (Used when prompting for a password during saving and restoring feeds to and from the Wizz RSS server) wasn’t persisting it’s location on the screen.
5. The import OPML code has been rewritten to make use of the Bookmark Services runInBatchMode() function. This should make the importing of OPML a lot faster than it was before.
6. The restore feeds from server code has been rewritten to make use of the Bookmark Services runInBatchMode() function. This should make restoring feeds from the Wizz RSS server a lot faster than it was before.
7. The export OPML code has been changed so that exported OPML will now contain two custom attributes used to persist the watched state of a feed and it’s watch action. Basically this means that your Watch List will no longer be lost when importing OPML that was exported from Wizz RSS.
8. The save feeds to server code has been changed so the feeds saved to the Wizz RSS server will persist the watched state of a feed and it’s watch action. Basically this means that your Watch List will no longer be lost when restoring feeds from the Wizz RSS server.
9. All of the shortcut key combinations have been fixed. Please see http://www.wizzrss.com/helpwiki/index.php/Shortcuts for a list of shortcuts.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a beta and it’s being made available for testing! Testing means that I expect those who encounter bugs to report them, with all relevant information, back into this blog. Please remember that I rely on YOU to help make Wizz RSS as bug free as possible. It just isn’t possible for me to test everything, so…
