Not at this time I'm afraid. We're thinking hared about these subjects, but so far we like the "network effect" of having everything be online, similar to flickr pages. There's a spirited discussion here with answers from Blaise and Jonathan

Todd Martin replied on September 22, 2008 16:54 to the problem "Songbird needs to run as Administrator in Vista to work - is there a fix?" in Songbird:

I have the same issue with Songbird v0.7 on Vista. I am running as an admnistrator. I get the UAC request every time I want to start the program. The installation is not corrupt, as if I grant the UAC I have full access to my libary.

I too am annoyed by the separate video window.

Thinking this over some, a rather radical idea popped into my head. We already have a tabbed interface, yes?

Why not have the video (or other content, extending the idea) fire up in a new tab?

Then you could have multiple videos / songs open at the same time, switch back and forth between them (with an option for automatic pause / resume when you switch, so that only one of them is playing at a time), with each getting its own tab to itself to display video / visualiser / album art / whatever.

Basically, do for media what tabbed browsing did for web pages in Firefox.

This should be configurable; I for one love being able to separate the player from the main program window. I use a dual-monitor system, and I often use one screen for a video while doing something else on the other screen.

Todd, we've implemented suggestion #3 - in your 'My Feeds' section, click on 'Manage Feeds', and you'll see quick selectors for changing the filtering level for many feeds at once.

Sounds like the t-shirt is MIA, can you please ping us with your address, and preferred size once more?

I noticed two things today - the input method hasn't changed, and I still don't have my t-shirt

Hmm, I like the 'set all as good/great/best' idea, thanks for the tip!

Todd Martin replied on March 26, 2008 20:08 to the idea "Could adjusting the filtering level be any slower? Seriously, could it?" in AideRSS:

Thanks for the prompt reply. I broke my own rule and did not point out that when criticizing a FREE service, it's appropriate to thank the providers for their efforts as well. I was a bit frustrated after going through the process of adjusting the filtering levels of a large block of feeds. As for the title of the item, well, your page encouraged me to create an eye-catching title, so I did my best.

And now, the official thanks: AideRSS is a great service with a great purpose behind it. Thanks to you and all those involved.

Todd,

yep we definitely need to make that easier. Consider it officially on our backlog.
