Retrieving Multiple News Sources in libprs500

dsuden · 04-29-2008, 02:25 PM

The Fetch News feature in libprs500 is absolutely life-changing for me! I love the full-text news from major sources, complete with table of contents and use it every day now.

I'm wondering if there is a way to specify a group of those news sources and get a custom batch of them with a single click, rather than having to click on each one (BBC, AP, CNN, etc) separately. I am not saavy enough to write the code for this. Is there a simple way to accomplish it?

Thanks much...

Not at the moment (it's on my TODO list). If you're comfortable scripting, you can just add the commands to a script file and run that with a single click.

Thanks, David. I'm not strong in the scripting area, but will cross my fingers for that feature in the future!
