Hi!
I recently moved from Emacs 24.5 to 25.1, and ever since then, reading
RSS-feeds in newsticker is a bit of a gamble: I noticed it often doesn't fetch
all available new feeds from all sources, so I have to run M-x
newsticker-treeview twice for some reason. But running it twice, the side
effect is sometimes that it forgets which feeds I've already read, and it will
fetch all (maximum) feeds from some other sources.
For instance, this often happens, I do M-x newsticker-treeview which then
results in:
- Newsticker fetches feeds from my different sources
- ...but no feeds from Slashdot, even though I know it aught to have 15, since
it's been 24 hours since last time I checked.
- I re-run M-x newsticker-treeview
- Now I get the new unread feeds from slashdot, but it also sometimes...
- ... fetches all (149) feeds from endless parenthesis, and/or all 30 from
planetemacsen, and/or same with emacs-fu sometimes.
I also notice that there are little icons in the treeview for each
RSS-source in Emacs 25, that I didn't have before in Emacs 24. 1. Could
these be the culprit? 2. Can these be disabled?
Also, it seems newsticker sometimes forgets the name of the feed source
replacing it with "[untitled]" and it doesn't seem to learn/remember these
source names. I.e. I don't know which sources didn't have any feeds this
time around, as it becomes "untitled". I don't know if this is a feature or
(unrelated?) bug. Seems strange that it keeps forgetting the names of feed
sources.
I have tried removing my .emacs.d/newsticker folder, but the problems
described above persist.
This is my newsticker setup:
(setq newsticker-html-renderer 'shr-render-region
newsticker-treeview-treewindow-width 40 newsticker-treeview-listwindow-height
20 newsticker-url-list-defaults nil newsticker-retrieval-interval 0 ;don't
fetch when I'm not reading RSS newsticker-automatically-mark-items-as-old nil
