newsbeuter shows a feed's URL instead of the title when a reload fails.

from IRC: imho images should be something like <2> not [2] to not be
confused with links. also thinkgs like embedded youtube files could maybe
be parsed into a [3]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. change url file
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The contents of the cache file should be accessible whether or not the url
file is changed. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.3-5 on Debian unstable

Please provide any additional information below.

Make the following things configurable:
- the cache file path
- the -r option should also be controllable via the config file
- suppress the first reload when "auto-reload yes" is set

17:51 < jkr> An option like "--refresh-silently" would be cool
17:51 < _ak> what is this option supposed to do?
17:51 < jkr> Which just refreshes the feeds without showing the curses
interface
17:51 < jkr> For cronjobs
17:52 < jkr> And a option "--has-new" which just prints something like "Got
n new items." and exits
17:55 < jkr> So I could make ZSH alert me when there's news available, just
like it does for new mails

What steps will reproduce the problem?

View an article and press s.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The newsbeuter article view contains in the header a Line like this:

Link: $URL

This Line is not in the saved text, although it is the most important 
link.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.6

Please provide any additional information below.

This bug was reported to me by clemens fischer.

Keys should be configurable e.g. only for the feed list or only for the
article list. Extra challenge: the old way of configuring keys should still
be possible (possible solution: when no "context" can be found in the
config line, the key is set for all contexts).

It would be nice to be able to reload a list of urls from within program.
May be by binded key or by timer.

> What steps will reproduce the problem?

Load a feed with appropriate titles. I've had problems with these so far:
(with debug output of failing examples).
(Note that some characters like '<80>' is output by 'less' without '-r')

It should be possible to enable a "confirm mode" where the user is asked
whether he really wants to quit when he presses "q" in the feed list.

It sometimes realy needed if feeds have changed items guids or times or else...
But how they'll be determined?
May be comparing item by titles or bodies... Or we'll be can delete stored 
items manualy.
Hmm... may be we need some 'action-on-filter-catch'?

An option to define the place of the cachefile to stor it outside of home
directory if "~/" is on a nfs cause sqlite does not support 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. newsbeuter -r 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

newsbeuter 0.3 from Debian

Please provide any additional information below.
see the attached strace output
It seems to happen with every feed I load.

Posting for Juergen Jung, who doesn't have a google account.
Received in german, I guess you don't mind, _ak, do you?


Erweiterung der config Variable download-path,
die Variable download-path um Platzhalter wie
%h %n erweitern.

Wobei der %h fuer den Host steht, von dem der Podcast und %n fuer den
Namen.

Beispiel:
Podcast von Chaosradio "http://chaosradio.ccc.de/chaosradio-latest.rss"

Die Varaible
download-path = "~/podcast/%h/%n"
wird zu
download-path = "~/podcast/chaosradio.ccc.de/Chaosradio/"

Die Platzhalter koennten noch um die Datums format erweitert werden,
so waere auch moeglich sich realtive komfortable ein "geordnetes"
Archive an zu legen.

Currently, the structure of OPML files is ignored. As an improvement, the
group names could be used as tags, to preserve the existing categorization.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a feed (e.g. golem.de)
2. Open an article
3. Press 'u' -> no URL's are shown
4. Press <Return> -> Segmentation Fault

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected is nothing or error/info message. I see a segfault.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Debian Testing, version of newsbeuter is 0.3-5

I can create a stacktrace on another machine, but I think the problem is
quite clear. The browser should not be loaded if no URL is selected or the
array of URL's is empty.

It would be nice to have some extra whitespace to the literals on the help
screens ("?"). They're to close to the terminal window. 

It would be great to have bookmarking support. This means that it should be
possible to write the URL of the current article (or in URL view, the
currently selected URL) to e.g. a CSV file, or even store it to del.icio.us. 

Trying to compile with all dependencies met i get the error attched in
error.txt

Make configurable which headers (e.g. "Title: ", "Author: ", etc.) are
shown, and which are hidden.

This is an architectural problem. Currently, the title and the description
are converted when the download happens. When the charset changes between
reload and displaying, we have a problem, because the charset of the title
doesn't match the current charset anymore, and then (v)asprintf (which is
used by STFL) fails, which ultimately leads to the crash above.

This should be changed that it is converted whenever it is displayed.

> What steps will reproduce the problem?

If a posting contains a relative link like <a href="/foo/bar.html">bar</a>,
newsbeuter displays it as '/foo/bar.html'. while this is not a problem with
mere displaying, this string is also used to call the external browser, which
of course fails to open '/foo/bar.html'.

> What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

At least the external browser should be handed a full URI like:

  domain.tld/foo/bar.html or http://domain.tld/foo/bar.html

I think the valid domain can be extracted from the Feed-URI.

Make open-in-browser function available in article list, i.e. when you're
in the article list, pressing 'o' should open the URL of the currently
selected article (suggested by Scytale).

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Try podbeuter on a FreeBSD system with download directory set to ~ 
(default).
open will fail with errno 2 and downloading will not work.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

SVN aka 0.5

Please provide any additional information below.

A proof of concept to solve this issue is attached (Needs errorchecking, 
PATH_MAX etc).
With this patch downloading in podbeuter works for me.

newsbeuter should be able to handle <enclosure> tags and download and store
such files somewhere in the filesystem. With such a functionality, it would
be possible to use newsbeuter to subscribe to podcasts, vlogs and other
fancy web 2.0 stuff.

It would be nice to internationalization/localization within newsbeuter.

Upon about every 50 starts, newsbeuter crashes on startup, i.e. after
loading existing articles from cache. Since this is hardly reproducible
(when running under gdb, this never occurs), this is virtually
undebuggable, but I suspect that it somehow has to do with the threads. 

Also, it only seems to occur on slow computers (on my 2 GHz Dual Core, it
doesn't occur at all). That speaks for the thread theory, but makes it a
non-issue for even more people.

it would be nice if the order, in which articles are presented on the 
screen, was configurable. I.e. i'm quite used to newest articles being at 
the bottom, with the "n" key jumping from older to newer articles. 
Currently, this is the other way around, with newest first.

I guess there are good reasons for that and probably a lot of people want 
it this way, so the best solution would, I guess, be to allow 
configuration of the sort-order

Downloading enclosures from 
http://streaming.tagesschau.de/bb/redirect.lsc?rewrite=http://www.tagesschau.de/
export/video-podcast-rss/0,,,00.xml&content=content=&media=mp3
doesn't work. But wget with the same enclosure url is working

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.4 on gentoo linux

Please provide any additional information below.

Currently, the default save path when saving articles is the user's home
directory. This should be configurable, and the configuration facility
should be aware that the default save path may start with "~/" as a generic
shortcut to the current user's home directory.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run newsbeuter

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected readable output, but there is only some ugly symbols.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.7, Gentoo Linux

Please provide any additional information below.
Just put original ru.po. It's already in UTF-8.

Depending on external, little-used, relatively little-tested libraries
sucks. We need to get rid of libnxml and libmrss. The basic plan is the
following:
- use the DOM parser from libxml2.
- implement an RSS library resp. set of classes on top of libxml2. The
critical thing is that we have to support the same feature set as libmrss,
i.e. RSS 0.90, 0.91, 0.92, 1.0, 2.0 and Atom 0.3, 1.0. We also need to be
flexible enough to cope with stuff like itunes:description or
content:encoded tags.
- the OPML import also relies on libnxml, throw that one out, too.

The result shall be that we don't need to link against libnxml or libmrss
anymore, and that our only dependencies are STFL, SQlite and libcurl (and
libintl and libiconv on operating systems that suck).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
  Add "bind-key right open" to the config.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
  The right key should behave like the enter key, but it doesn't.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
  Newsbeuter 0.2

> What steps will reproduce the problem?

It's kind of hard to reproduce. :-/
I had a segfault before, when newsbeuter was fetching feeds and I hit 'q'
to quit the program.

This time it was fetching feeds again, and I was moving the selection bar
down. So, _think_ the problem might occur when the fetching is done, as
it is the action, that is common among both cases.

podbeuter doesn't follow redirects. This leads to files of 0 KB size.

Enchance ncurses gui with separation of article, title list and feed? Could
that be possible?

It would be nice to be able to rename feeds. Many feeds, especially blogs,
have nonsense names.

Sometimes it happens that a blog and its feed disappears. It would be nice
if newsbeuter produces a warning when a feed has an error (40x status
code). Better, if you could configure a "time out period". So newsbeuter
waits x days before the warning gets printed.

Configuration should support quoting within its config files, a la

Hi,

It would be nice if it were possible to configure newsbeuter to ask before
quitting the entire application. Just as with mutt, sometimes I get carried
away with the 'q' pressing :).

Implement a concept of "meta-feeds", e.g. a feed that shows all unread feeds.

I use 
libnxml    0.17.2-1
libmrss    0.17.2-1
newsbeuter 0.4

on GNU/linux Ubuntu 6.06 and I get an error message when I try to reload
all feeds ( 'auto-reload yes' in config or with the bind key):

newsbeuter: src/cache.cpp:490: void
newsbeuter::cache::update_rssitem(newsbeuter::rss_item&, const std::string&):
 assertion " rc == 0 " failed

Just installed 0.7 on ubuntu dapper from source.  I can reload each feed
individually, but when doing a full refresh (can be manual or automatic), I
get the "library routine called out of sequence" error.  It doesn't matter
which feed is last.  I tried reducing my urls file to just one feed and
still go the error.  

Thanks for any help.  I greatly appreciate the simplicity of this reader
compared to other projects such as raggle.

Does newsbeuter need key bindings for jumping to start or end of freed/items 
list?

Something like this:

liststart HOME
listend END

The lock file method leads to a number of issues. Thus, we should replace
the old lock file method with fcntl()-based locking on e.g. the urls file
or the cache.db file.

I used newsbeuter to read bsdtalk.blogspot.com. When I press 'e' on any
item, I see "Added
http://cisx1.uma.maine.edu/~wbackman/bsdtalk/bsdtalkXXX.mp3 to download
queue." but the ~/.newsbeuter/queue file is still 0 bytes long.

As I see it, it is currently not possible to let newsbeuter redraw the
screen, not even if it's garbled.

Please add the possibility to do this, preferibly by hitting "^L", which
is pretty much the default key for this in about all existing applications.

Newsbeuter seems not to be compatible with stfl 0.9.

Seems as if they implemented localisation support using wchar_t.
Therefore, the stflpp and similar files won't comppile.

To solve this issue you could use functions similar to the following, but 
i'm not sure it will work out completely.

char* wstring2string(std::wstring const &str, std::locale const 
&loc=std::locale()) {
        size_t len = str.size();
        char *tmp = new char[len+1];
        std::use_facet<std::ctype<wchar_t> >(loc).narrow(str.data(), 
str.data()+len, '?', tmp);
        tmp[len] = 0;
        return tmp;
}

wchar_t* string2wstring(std::string const &str, std::locale const 
&loc=std::locale()) {
        size_t len = str.size();
        wchar_t *tmp = new wchar_t[len+1];
        std::use_facet<std::ctype<wchar_t> >(loc).widen(str.data(), 
str.data()+len, tmp);
        tmp[len] = 0;
        return tmp;
}
