Description S. Burmeister 2005-01-19 18:20:48 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.91)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

My computer crashed, after that akregator lost (empty list) all  the feeds, including the default KDE ones.
I added the feeds again, yet everytime I restart kontact akregator comes up with a blank list.

I had a loo at sites.xml and there are feeds in that file, yet they are not displayed. I am not sure what to look for in order to track down the bug.

When I add new feeds, the sites.xml is not modified, neither is feeds.opml
Comment 1 Frank Osterfeld 2005-01-19 20:11:01 UTC
The feed list is stored in data/feeds.opml, sites.xml is not really needed (it's used to save the date of the last fetch). Is feeds.opml in a valid format? i.e. not corrupted or even empty. 
Make a backup of feeds.opml and remove it from data/. Akregator should create a new list containing the standard KDE feeds.
We should test what happens when feeds.opml is corrupted and handle that in a sane way.
Comment 2 S. Burmeister 2005-01-19 21:29:55 UTC
Yep that feeds.opml was 0 Byte. I guess it was due to the crash. Maybe one should check the file when akregator starts up. 0 Byte isa safe sign to replace it. If the file is in danger of being corrupted one should maybe even create a backup each time a feed is added.
Shall I close this bug, or leave it open. I cannot rename it, so maybe you could to "make akregator more robust to crashes".
Thanks for the help!

Corrupted feeds.opml is handled now, akregator renames the old file and creates a new one.

I got a whole directory that have been deleted .. and seems not to be in the feeds.opml~  one .. 
that the second time it happen .. and like I got (oki I'm creasy .. ) around 250feeds..
For some obscure reason time to time the application hang-up and use 95% of the CPU .. and is not going to be better ;; 

Why 250 feeds ? in fact I use akregator as an article database from security blog.. Whenever I need an article a specific information I just query it on akregator
