What's New in FeedDemon 2.8?
As you can see from the release notes, there are a lot of improvements in this version. Here are some of the highlights:
- Tagging: FeedDemon's new tagging features enable you to assign your own keywords to items, making it easy to classify and locate articles you've previously read. To assign a tag to an item, simply click the
tag icon under the item's headline. - Really simple sharing: Sharing articles is now much simpler - just click the
Share icon to add an item to the RSS feed for your shared clippings. And keep in mind that you can still share any web page by drag-and-dropping a hyperlink or browser tab to your shared clippings. - Simpler, cleaner user interface: We've streamlined FeedDemon's UI, cured the toolbutton overload of previous versions, and made a number of "tweaks" which improve the overall experience of using FeedDemon (such as adding page transitions, improving support for Windows themes, and using a fixed header in the newspaper).
- Even faster and more reliable: FeedDemon has always been fast (after all, its name is a play on the phrase "speed demon"), but now it's even faster! And thanks to the built-in error reporting, we've identified and resolved the most common problems our customers encountered in earlier versions.
What Happened to My Toolbuttons?
Among our goals with this release was to simplify the UI by hiding lesser-used toolbuttons and newspaper icons. If we've hidden a toolbutton you relied upon, click the "Customize" arrow at the far right of the toolbar to add it back. If there's a newspaper icon you miss, click the "Icons..." button on the Reading page in FeedDemon's options to restore it.
