Stringer, The Rich Site Summary Explorer

The Mission

• Provide a Swing Interface to multiple RSS newsfeeds.
• Manage subscriptions to various newsfeeds.
• Selecting a subscribed newsfeed in the left panel shows the topics available on that feed in the right panel.
• Selecting a topic in the right panel opens the page in a web browser.
• Imports and Exports subscription files compatible with other RSS readers.
• Skinnable interface.
• Reads RSS news files from thousands of different websites.
• Uses your installed browser

Properties

delete.viewed=false

The delete.viewed if set to true will automatically delete viewed items in your list whenever you exit. This feature is off by default.

draw.channelImages=true

This feature is on by default. If the channel information specified an image to represent the channel, that image is drawn beside each news item pulled from that channel.

refresh.interval=1800

The refresh.interval if set to anything above zero will use the number as the number of seconds to wait between automatic refreshes. The default setting is zero.
