Reading Feeds

raggle-doc@pablotron.org (Paul Duncan) — Tue, 10 Mar 2005 17:28:31 GMT

To read a given feed, highlight it in the Feed window and press Enter or Space. The list of items available from that feed will be displayed in the Item window. Unread feed items are highlighted in cyan. To view the full story linked from a feed item, navigate to the Description window (using Tab or the Left and Right arrow keys) and press Enter.

If Raggle is running in a screen session, it will invoke your browser of choice in a separate screen window (this behavior is configurable; see the 'use_screen' option for additional information). There are also several different window navigation modes available, see the 'focus' option for additional information.

Adding Feeds

raggle-doc@pablotron.org (Paul Duncan) — Tue, 10 Mar 2005 17:28:29 GMT

To add a new RSS feed to Raggle, press 'a' and enter the URL. If Raggle isn't running, you can also add feeds from the command-line with the following command:


          raggle --add -t "title" -u "url" -r "refresh"

Where "title" is the title of the feed, "url" is the URL of the feed, and "refresh" is the refresh interval (in minutes) of the feed.

Note: Only the URL is required; the title and refresh time are optional. Also, the title will be overwritten by the feed unless you lock the title using the --lock-title command-line option.

Configuration Files

raggle-doc@pablotron.org (Paul Duncan) — Tue, 10 Mar 2005 17:25:35 GMT

$HOME/.raggle/config.rb : main configuration file
$HOME/.raggle/feeds.yaml : feed list
$HOME/.raggle/feed_cache.store : cached feed items
$HOME/.raggle/theme.yaml : colors, window layout

Note: Raggle will fall back to internal defaults if any of these files are deleted, or if they don't exist.
