First off, I want to say thanks for such a great app!

And I love sunrise sooooooo much, many new RSS feeds that I have come across are *only* in it. Since I've got such a great collection in sunrise, I'd **really** like to be able to export back to an OPML file (then I can throw it into FeedDemon or Bloglines). I know that I can "sync" an OPML file by creating one & re-importing...or I could write an offline SDL->OPML converter, but it would be really nice to have inside of Sunrise (besides, you have all those OPML parsing routines to re-use for writing! ::grin::).

Will there be a preferred thread for feature requests?

I won't get round to adding a dedicated OPML export function. (Sunrise's successor will most likely support OPML directly.)

I do have an XSLT stylesheet for converting SDLs to OPML. (See attachment.) You can use MSXSL (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2fb55371-c94e-4373-b0e9-db4816552e41&displaylang=en) to run XSL transformations from the command-line.

I don't have the time to write detailed instructions, so this example will have to do:

msxsl mysites.sdl sdl-to-opml.xsl -o mysites.opml

This converts "mysites.sdl" to "mysites.opml". Wrap this in a batch file and you have an easy way to convert your SDL.

That'll work great!

Thanks again!
