RSS support

Post by nnny »

I was wondering will Camino ever have the live bookmarks feature that firefox has?
If not will Camino ever include RSS in any other method?

Camino 1.5 will allow you to detect an RSS feed and open it in an external reader (netnewswire, newsfire, etc). I'm pretty sure there are no plans to have 'live bookmarks'.

There have been many posts in this forum on the subject of RSS (a search of this forum will give you loads of info). Camino is meant to be "just a browser", and there are many freely available dedicated RSS readers that can handle this better than a browser.

For Live Bookmarks but better, give RSS Menu a try. Be sure to go through its preferences. Enjoy.

To pass-off feeds to Bloglines, use RSS2BL http://jebysfile.altervista.org/2006/11 ... no-11.html

and to Google Reader, use RSS2GR http://pimpmyshiira.com/stuff/rss2gr

(which I'm sure can be improved upon!)

Since Uncle Asad typed "3" in his post and Purple's post only indicated 2 items, I assume that he must have also been referring to RSS Menu which I linked to in my post. Note that it's not really browser specific at all, though.

Sorry, the link to RSS2GR has moved - http://spotthehall.com/rss2gr.html

and I've made a similar thing (now that NewsGator has gone all free and stuff!) call RSS2NG - http://spotthehall.com/rss2ng.html

(Please note they don't seem to work with 1.6a1 but OK with 1.5.4)

Cheers, David
