Feed Notifier 2.3 build 548

New Features

Three new features have been added. They aren’t huge improvements, but are all nice to have.

• Sound Notifications. Some users prefer to have the pop-up notifications accompanied by a sound in case they aren’t looking at the computer screen. An option has been added (and enabled by default) to play a sound when new pop-ups are displayed. Currently the type of sound played is not configurable but can be changed by replacing notification.wav in the sounds folder if desired.
• Support for Multiple Displays. The position of the pop-ups has always been configurable yet limited to the primary display. Now, those using multiple monitors can choose which display is used for showing the pop-ups! Just choose which monitor to use in the options dialog.
• Mouse Wheel and Keyboard Navigation. You can now use the mouse wheel and arrow keys to navigate through the pop-up items. The home and end keys will also navigate to the first/last items, respectively. The escape key will close the pop-up. Note that the pop-up window must have focus for these new features to work, which is a little tricky since the pop-ups don’t steal focus (by design, of course). So you’ll have to click on them first.

Bug Fixes

• Fix for "No handler found for image type." bug that occurred with malformed favicons.
• Fix for "The URL entered does not appear to be a valid RSS/Atom feed." when the feed being added was actually valid but empty (no entries).
• Fix for never polling when multiple network adapters exist and not all are connected to the internet.
