Limit download/unread messages

nlundberg · 01-26-2013, 08:10 AM

Hi,

is it possible to limit or have say a notification at the front page telling if there are any new articles since the last download.

So say that I download a blog everyday, but if there are no new post there will either be no new e-book, or a "0 new posts since last download" notification.

Maybe you can already do this, but I can not find any information on it.

Best,
N.

Does anyone know if this is already possible? Or am I unclear with what I are seeking for?

It's not possible to know if there are new articles without downloading the feed index. And if you do download the feed index, there is no capability to compare that with a previous download and determine if any of the items are new since the last download. So the short answer is no, you can't do that.

OK, thanks.
