That is what I meant initially. It continues to show that message in the bottom left. Since SaM clarified that the app isn't downloading any updates, then should that thing not show up there? Smile I was just wondering if it could wait till the user agrees to the feed refresh Wink

Time for R-7...the only thing that has changed is the biggest thing that could have changed...the database platform. It has changed from SQL Server Express (a 35 mb prerequisite) to SQL Server Compact Edition (a 1.8 mb prerequisite).

Download Link : http://axiscore.in/expRSS/expRSS-R7.zip

Please follow this procedure...

1. Download the app from the link provided above & unzip it.
2. Download and install SQL Server CE 3.5 (1.8 MB) from here : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4DD09A86-03EB-40A1-BD32-0FD8BCDF7BE0&displaylang=en and then run the app.

No setup created yet, hence SQL Server 3.5 needs to be downloaded and installed separately. Sorry about this.

expRSS didn't run on anna's comp till R-6, R-7 works...so I'm hoping it'll work for everyone now...nik, I'll be waiting to hear from you.

Cheers
SaM

Congratulations SaM!

 expRSS 1.0 VUD -8 rocks!

Hey the handling is smooth...its easy to add new feeds....all in all it looks great...

For all those who are uninformed, as to why I took an eternity to respond here, well....all the versions before VUD7 didn't work on my computer, for some odd reason, which me nor SaM could figure out.....until I downloaded SQL CE...

Just a little something I saw...the application hung(Not Responding) when I tried to update the sports feed after I checked the Movie reviews...It happened once...and didn't happen again...

The "x" to remove mark-as-read feeds is very convenient...Hey...no cricket feed...I'll add it....

All in all, a great application...

Have a good day,

Anna

Click Here to Download expRSS 1.0 VUD - R9

This is the 9th release of expRSS and it is coming exactly one year after the first one came out. A lot has changed over the year, few new features and a hundred new bugs.
Here's another one in the Version Under Development series, which is about to end soon. The next release, will be a BETA, followed by the final version 1.0.

BETA will take some time to come out though, since there are still new features that I want to implement and obviously the few 100+ bugs to be fixed. This is actually one of the reasons why I am going forward with putting up a raw R9. The next version will take some time. R9 includes quite a few new features and basic code changes. It's a breakpoint of sorts that I'm trying to apply here, so that you all can help me figure out all bugs uptil this point. Please make full use of PROTON

Cheers
SaM

Rofl at the release time. anna was expecting a R9 yesterday (on the anniversary). Tongue
Good job sammy.. time to test BigGrin

Update: Sorry. Proton is giving me errors Frown/Sad So I'll post here.
1) OMG GMail ;---o Hot. Signed in and it told me that I had new mail. Clicked one of them and it gave a script error and sent me to the gmail sign in page Frown/Sad
The error was as follows..


2) It said I had new mails.. It even gave me the balloon. Yet on the status bar (left hand bottom) it says I have no new emails Frown/Sad
There were a few other things I'd have liked to be tested in the GMail part but they all involve it signing in first.

3) Is it possible, while the feeds are being downloaded, to import feeds. I can see how this can lead to catastrophic effects but if you could add the import action to queue, it should be fine.
Or if I click update then import, you can only import the old feeds or the feeds which appear after the currently updating feed in the update list (depending on how you are processing the list).

4) While a feed is being updated, clicking reader brings up a blank screen Frown/Sad If nothing can be drawn, disable the button.
It always just shows a blank grey screen Frown/Sad

5) expRSS feed import/export works fine. Tried it with google. Thanks SaM Smile Easier to have google reader <-> expRSS transfers when needed Smile

6) Love the new load screen near the system tray. BigGrin

7) Minimise, minimises to task bar (normal minimise) and close, closes it. How do I minimise to tray?

8) Even when maximised, right clicking the sys tray icon, it says "Show". Clicking it minimises the window to the task bar. So this is basically toggling position. Fine. But is there something that can be done about the "Show" when the window is already being shown?
If you do this, I'd probably tell you that if the window is not minimised but in the background, it should still say "Show" so if you can, please make it detect if its on top and may be possibly change the text to "Bring to top" or something of the likes.

9) Tried mark as read and got an exception.
Code:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at exprss2.expRSS.updateCategoryUnreadCount(Int32 fid)
   at exprss2.expRSS.readToolStripMenuItem_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.RaiseEvent(Object key, EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem.OnClick(EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.HandleClick(EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.HandleMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.FireEventInteractive(EventArgs e, ToolStripItemEventType met)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.FireEvent(EventArgs e, ToolStripItemEventType met)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mea)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDown.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mea)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDown.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
After skipping all the loaded assemblies, we get..
Code:
************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hope you can make sense of that Wink

10) Mark as unread similarly kills things.

11) If I have 10 updates from a site, a button to click on "Next" (to go to the next feed) and "Previous" would be greatly appreciated Smile

12) Tried the colour flush and didn't see any change. What was the expected result? Freaking subtle change.. Tongue

13) Is there a way I can mass delete feeds instead of having to right click delete on every one of them? The delete button doesn't serve purpose either Frown/Sad

14) Side note.. we don't have blog.axisrdc.com any more, do we? Smile

15) Is it possible for the app to remember the last position of the buttons bar (publish, update, add, about etc)?

16) Attempting to delete an empty group lands me an exception.

17) Same with a feed that hasn't been fetched at least once.
Surprisingly though, up until this point, all actions performed their jobs then gave exceptions. Here you have the same usually but for one particular feed, it doesn't delete it and I get the exception. Saw the url. Totally normal. Nothing dodgy.

18) Like rounded icons! No more white spaces! w00t! Yippee!!

19) Is there a reason why the colour behind the "button bar" (draggable part) is different from the static part behind it? If its the colour schemes, ignore this Smile

That's all for now.. too tired to continue. No wish to take stridy's award for next year Tongue

Proton is giving me errors

Working well when I tried...

The Gmail notifier, at present is such that, things are under my code's control only till it checks and notifies about new mails. After that, if you try and follow the new mail links, its reaction is purely self-chosen  Tongue . So, so far, the feature's good for getting notifications only.

It said I had new mails.. It even gave me the balloon. Yet on the status bar (left hand bottom) it says I have no new emails

I'll check this.

I'll try.

clicking reader brings up a blank screen

 Tongue April fool !!  LoL The publisher is out for now. It'll be a separate product/add-on. The button will also be removed/replaced.

Quote
Minimise, minimises to task bar (normal minimise) and close, closes it. How do I minimise to tray?

I'll work on this.

Mark as unread similarly kills things.

I want you to be more elaborate here. When exactly does this happen? When clicking on categories or channnels or individual news items? Always or only when there are no items or any other condition you can recognize?

Quote
If I have 10 updates from a site, a button to click on "Next" (to go to the next feed) and "Previous" would be greatly appreciated

I'm not really sure if it'll add to the convenience, but I'll keep this in mind.

 Tongue Yes, this will definitely improve.

Quote

Noted.

Quote
Attempting to delete an empty group lands me an exception.

You mean an empty category? I tried, worked well. So please tell me exactly how to get to this.

Quote

Don't get this. Snapshot?

Thanks for testing. Keep going.
