Is it possible to export *channels* as OPML?
It is possible to export feeds as OPML. But is it possible to export channels?
(my idea is to tag my feeds into 20 or so channels, then subscribe my reader to those channels - but I'd like to avoid having to subscribe every channel manually, would be nicer to import such a OPML)

I’m unsure

Inappropriate?Mekk, not currently, but that is something we've given some thought and will release in the future.

Inappropriate?I gave this idea a try and ... it does not seem to be truly working. Here are the problems:
1) Due to the lack of tag autocompletion/hinting (reported separately) it is very difficult to tag new feeds properly. Also, the web interface does not offer any reasonable support for tag reorganizations (like tag renaming, sorting feeds by tags, reporting untagged items and such)
2) It is also difficult to track which channels are subscribed, there is no indicator
3) (mentioned separately) One can not batch-subscribe all channels, there is no OPML export
4) Channel feeds have very ugly, very long titles with numeric identifiers embedded.
5) There is no information about the blog from which the post is taken (reader shows channel as the feed name - properly). IMO the blog name should be shown somehow (maybe appended to the title, in brackets?). So I find myself forced to open the original page if I want to check where does it belong.
6) Whenever I update the feed settings (in the extension), I am redirected to the feed itself. This makes the browser to start subscribing process for the individual feed. Very irritating.
I will play with it a bit more, but I feel some development would be needed to make the channel subscriptions really worth it.
I’m sad

Mekk, can you elaborate on 2) I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
