Description Juha Tuomala 2008-10-12 12:43:14 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I'd like to continue reading RSS feeds when leaving my desktop to travel or sitting on couch. 

But if I do it now, I'll be wading through the same article topics at desktop when I come back.

So it should be possible to write a plugin for http://opensync.org/ to sync the read article status between my reader devices.

I was told at irc://irc.freenode.org/akregator/ that it's not possible now, I should parse the actual files in file system.

Would it be possible to add provide the information via dbus[1]?

If it's been planned for Akonadi I would still prefer to have some simple
access to it anyway.

Bug #106424 handles the same basic need, but suggests completely different approach, additionallty storing remotely the score data.

Hello,

I like to develop a plasmoid.
It should work like a RSS-Queue.
Only one news presented at the same time.
With a "X" it should be able to mark it as read.
A direct klick should open Konqueror with the specific URL.

I don't like to care my RSS-News twice, too.
I want to be able to get new Feeds from Akregator with informations like subject and URL. (or a complete list with mark state)
I also want to mark it as read via dbus.

I already searched the source code of Akregator for the line where dbus registration is defined.
Only the function for listing feeds I've found.

Can somebody told me where I can find it, please?

Thanks a lot!
