Sorry about this.

This is now fixed, and should show up next time Edwin spins a build.

Typing the question mark ( ? ) will reveal even more interesting keyboard shortcuts.

I am pretty sure that's all the skeletons in the closet :)

merlin replied on November 26, 2009 04:10 to the problem "Search for Polish words - not functioning" in Feedly:

Glad that works.

Regarding "show messages read in last X days" ... no such specific feature. But we do have a history.

In any feedly page type: gg (the magic bar). Then "history" ... it will be obvious from there.

If you like an article you can "save it for later" (keyboard shortcut lowercase-L) and you can get to it via gg (the magic bar).

Feedly ought to auto-mark-as read when you open an article. There are a couple of options you can play in preferences:

Auto-Select On Scroll
Auto-'Mark As Read' on Selection.

The scope of the search is picked from the search box. It defaults to your best sources. But it can be any of the items listed in the drop down.

If you have feeds and unread articles then it should find them. Here is screen shot I see. FYI, this is from a virgin installation from feedly.com. The polish translation is a work in progress ... it will be there soon. The key is searching for non-english words + characters.

Powinno już być naprawione.

merlin replied on June 05, 2009 07:57 to the idea "Support for Contact Group while sending email via Feedly" in Feedly:

We'll look into it.

merlin replied on June 03, 2009 07:16 to the problem "Contacts not showing up after configuring a Google Apps Domain" in Feedly:

Hi,

Just to clarify - you can send the mail but no contacts, right ?

Can you tell me if anything is shown in the firefox error log that could betray some clues ?

merlin replied on May 11, 2009 03:10 to the problem "Feedly not showing all set categories on dashboard." in Feedly:

You can move the feeds into categories by drag and drop. To move just drag. To copy, hold the shift key while starting the drag.

Categories can be renamed by shift-clicking on the category name. You can just type a new category name and that's it.

You can merge categories or copy feeds from one to another by drag and drop. If you try a drag a lot of things should become self evident.

There should be a description though that indicates that certain categories are not shown because of the "favorite" only view. We will fix that.

merlin replied on May 10, 2009 03:46 to the problem "Feedly not showing all set categories on dashboard." in Feedly:

Kealik,

Just to cover the basic. Can you make sure that the "Favorites" only is checked off ? Can you see your missing categories then ?

Feedly will not show those unless there is a favorite feed in the category (when favorites only is checked). Looked in the upper right hand corner of the dashboard page.

merlin replied on January 24, 2009 05:17 to the problem "Firefox crashing, unsubscribe not working" in Feedly:

We can duplicate the problem, thanks for the heads up. Fix should be ... around the corner.

merlin replied on December 05, 2008 08:54 to the idea "URL shortening service" in Feedly:

We have implemented this but there is a tiny issue (no pun indented) with poprl.com responding in some cases with a bogus reply. We've sent them an email and as soon as that is resolved we will enable this in feedly.

merlin replied on October 24, 2008 19:33 to the problem "Preferences cut off and not easily accessible." in Feedly:

In the meantime you can type "gg" and then "pref ..." and Enter.

merlin replied on October 24, 2008 04:36 to the question "Is gmail not playing nice with feedly today?" in Feedly:

that's what i was afraid off ... now i am guessing that gmail_fe_527_p8 is before gmail_fe_528_p4 unless the Google crowd is counting to 0.

This may not be the reason for it, however. Will keep looking ...

merlin replied on October 24, 2008 03:52 to the question "Is gmail not playing nice with feedly today?" in Feedly:

Thanks for posting the screencasts and working with us to solve this issue.

Bizzarro that you two guys have this problem ...

We can't replicate it here *yet* so we would need to do some more investigating.

We have an inkling that this may have something to do with gmail versions .... Google sometimes deploys new versions in some "test" markets we think and that's possibly why you two for some reason have the problem.

Based on the last mail-context line, I can tell that you are using gmail not via https (via http) and that feedly knows you are logged in to gmail.

Anyhow, here is the next piece of information we could use. When you point your browser to

http://mail.google.com/mail/

and when it loads, do a "View Source" (of the HTML page) on the page and locate a line that starts with:

var GLOBALS =[,,"8611101","gmail_fe_528_p4","A5pcKYmUmLY","7","X_E4tcT3ECGpBf3gOdJHWQ","/mail",100,"6c80a0a0b8",.....

This is from mine, and it says that this is gmail_fe_528_p4.

merlin replied on October 23, 2008 08:59 to the question "Is gmail not playing nice with feedly today?" in Feedly:

That look kosher. What about the [feedly][mailer] send-mail-post-to: ....

Also, any entries in that log with [error] in it around the time you send mail ?

If you don't want to post sensitive data from your logs here you can send me mail at merlin(at)liquid.net. Thx.

merlin replied on October 23, 2008 07:54 to the question "Is gmail not playing nice with feedly today?" in Feedly:

Nicefishfilms. Any chance you could post what the "error log" of FF says aroudn the time you send the mail ? Interested in lines that have "[mailer]" in them.

Something like:
[feedly][mailer] updated-mail-context: ...

or on send mail ....
[feedly][mailer] send-mail-post-to: ....

merlin started following the idea "Feed and Category Selector Unread Count" in Feedly.

The URL should be http://update.feeddo.com/release/feed...

merlin replied on June 20, 2008 22:14 to the question "How do I remove the twitter feed from the wall?" in Feedly:

Go to preferences, there is an option in there. Set its value to "no" and that should do it.

A comment on the problem "Extension not installing on Firefox 3" in Feedly:

The strange part is that this is the default setting for Firefox new profiles created with Firefox 3.0 – merlin, on June 20, 2008 01:48
