I see that Notes has been broken out of Mail in Mountain Lion – does it still process RSS feeds? And I’d really like to be able to be notified that there are X new posts, so I can go to the site to read these posts. Which is why I kept some of the sites that I visit once in a while in Safari. And I don’t always want to open YetAnotherProgram to read all my RSS feeds. Thank you for this button! I, however, don’t use Mail, but rather, NetNewsWire. Where should I be looking?įound it up on the toolbar! I haven’t been using Safari, but Firefox is not working right since I installed Mountain Lion. I installed the extension, and I see it in the extensions list, but I can’t find the button. But I’m not complaining- if this is all I get I’m happy!ĭoesn’t work, the button also opens Mail. Though like one commentator mentioned, some have more than one feed- it would be nice to have that shown. This is great Daniel! Good work on the polished icon. Great! Thanks a lot, Daniel, much appreciated! How do I specify a new standard RSS reader after this idiotic Moutain Lion srcreew up ? Thanks for getting us out of the hole that Apple dug for us.īut it opens a “bad” EMAIL doesn exist etc !!! There has been an Add to Google reader extension for some time. Some sites have multiple feeds (as in different, not as in both Atom and RSS) it’d be nice showing a list. What, they removed the RSS button!?! I am glad I read it here first, great way to fill in the void before it’s even here :-) Nice! The icon fit in so well I didn’t realize the extension had actually installed. I understand you aren’t supporting this but perhaps you can point me in the right direction to get it working.īTW – Got the link to this in a comment to the Siracusa OS X 10.8 review. After installing your extension what I get when clicking on the RSS button is a dialog titled “Microsoft Office Outlook – XP” and then “VMWare Fusion failed to launch.”. As I recall, before 10.8 I believe there was a Safari preference setting to specify GR and I also used someone else’s extension (Add to Google Reader) by Rob Wilkerson) to add the feed. I’d like to be able to add feeds to Google Reader via the website. On August 2, 2012, I released Subscribe to Feed 1.0b4, addressing a number of issues from the initial release.ĥ5 Responses to “Subscribe To Feed Safari Extension”.This is a little ambitious though, so if you want this feature and happen to be able to code Safari/JavaScript solutions, please send me a proof of concept for subscribing to Google Reader from JavaScript on a web page, and I’ll see if I can integrate it into the extension. I’m not sure exactly how this would work but I bet it’s possible with a preference in the extension that would offer the ability to open a Google Reader URL for subscribing. The best solution I know for this issue is to download and use the venerable RCDefaultApp to set a default RSS reader for your Mac.Ī number of users who use Google Reader through the browser would like it if there were a way for this extension to automatically subscribe in Google Reader instead of through a Mac client. Some folks who are just getting in to desktop RSS readers are discovering they don’t have a “default app” setting on their Mac, and Apple no longer provides a simple UI inside Safari for setting the default. For example, it will open in NetNewsWire, Reeder or any other application on your Mac that claims to support “feed:” style URLs. The gist of the extension is to make it easy to subscribe to RSS and Atom feeds in an external application, separate from Safari. The interest has been so strong that more than a couple people have installed the extension apparently unaware of its purpose. I didn’t realize there would be so much interest in restoring the functionality of the Safari RSS button. Since I posted this on Wednesday (the day Mountain Lion 10.8 was released), the response has been overwhelming.I hope this extension fills a void for those of you missing the beloved RSS button from Safari 5 and earlier. My beta-quality, more-or-less unsupported Subscribe to Feed extension adds a handy button to the toolbar that, when a page offers RSS or Atom feeds, can be clicked to easily open the feed:// link, which should automatically open your favorite news reader. I’m disappointed by Apple’s decision to remove the button, but when life hands you lemons … This button makes it easy to subscribe to an RSS or Atom feed for a blog, or any other site that offers such a feed. I noticed they had removed the long-standing, built-in “RSS” button near the URL bar. The motivation behind my foray into Safari extension development was my early adoption of Safari 6 during the beta phase. Now that Safari 6 is available as part of Mountain Lion 10.8, and as a software update for Lion, I can finally explain the rumblings I made months ago about an extension facilitating feed subscription directly from Safari.
