Righty a long awaited update to Folder-RSS :)
changes for version 0.9

--- ---* repacked with the latest autohotkey - no more false positives from certain virus scanners
* support for Mouser's DcUpdater (let me know if this works well for you - folder-rss checks for updates on start, will make this an option
* new options thanks to donationcoder member requests:
  -only:files|folders = Only include files (-only:files) or folders (-only:folders) (Default is both)
  -only:*.ext = Only include *.ext files (eg. change to *.mp3 to include mp3 files only). (default = *.*)
  -maxage:`<number`> = Only show results last modified within the last `<number`> days (default=14)
  -maxitems:<number> = Only show up to <number> feeditems (default = 100)
* started work on graphical user interface for next version.

I can also see opportunities to create feeds on "last accessed", "creation date" or a combination of these with "last modified date". However it seems this will add another set of commandline options that you probably don't need to get comfortble with 99% of the time.

So I am thinking of creating an interface, possibly with profiles you can load / save, and a wizard to set up such a profile.
possibly a commandline version with all optinos but a streamlined interface with these defaults; i'm not planning to add every option as a checkbox ;-).
Whether or not these things will materialize will depend on my limited resources (in time) and how excited you guys are about it ;)

Wow, this is a great idea. I never thought of it before, but now that you made it, there are tons of uses for it.

Thanks!

Could someon tell me how to add this kind of feed to opera or another rss-reader app?

Edit: The Rss readers have problems with the very long line in the xml file.

justice:
Hi apfel, I received your bugreport and I'm sorry you found those issues, I remember one of them lol. The code should only have one set of rss tags! I'll have a look at the issues you reported, hopefully in the next few weeks I can post an updated version. It is possible that the bugs you reported with the XML parsing prevent any newsreader from reading it as it breaks the scheme :(

I have success with Opera 9.20:
If you just right click on the rss feed and do Open with -> opera you will get a url like:
file://localhost/C:\rss\test.xml

Now go to the menu bar Feeds -> Manage Feed -> Add -> enter file://localhost/C:\rss\test.xml as the url and it should load.
