Laurens, I'm a longtime Sunrise user and just switched to Sunrise XP 2.0a3b, set up my .sxl file. Its great to see a good program getting better!

Now the problems:

1. When I click on the Change button in the Hotsync Custom dialog for Sunrise XP conduit, it crashes Hotsync (same error as has been reported by others).

2. If I run Sunrise XP and fully update my feeds, then sync, I can see the documents synchronizing to my Palm T2 (RAM). But subsequent syncs do not bring up Sunrise XP and do "on demand" updates like the older Sunrise does. That was handy as I didn't have to specifically run Sunrise first and do an update. Is there a way to support that in Sunrise XP? (Or maybe it's really there, I'm just not seeing it go out and probe the feed URLs.)

3. If you don't use http: or https: as the start of a feed URL, it will hang the app upon updating. With WordPress 2.0 feed URLs use this new scheme that starts with "feed:" followed by a URL. So having "feed:" in front should probably be supported (tolerated).

4. If you select multiple documents, right-click and choose Properties, and then try to assign an update schedule to the group, only the first item in the select gets it.

5. WordPress 2.0 feeds render oddly, with a startng page in Plucker that has a few plain links rather than the blog text I would expect. Here's one to check: http://www.dtl.net/notes/index.php/feed/. Sunrise (pre-XP) would render a page in Plucker that looked more like the what you see at http://www.dtl.net/notes/.

6. This feed http://hicksdesign.co.uk/feeds/rss/ is rendering in Plucker with a lot of gargbage characters. This does not occur with pre-XP Sunrise documents. That feed is using HTML entities like ⇂ rather than ” Got a work-around?

One question:

1. Where can you go within Windows XP to see the Task Manager integration entry? I tried using the "at" command in the shell, thinking maybe Sunrise XP used this, but there are no entries listed.

Thanks for your continued support in providing this excellent tool.
