Hi,
I am running the latest version of FFA on a G5 iMac. Since upgrading to the latest version, I notice that FFA has been tending to crash right after using the FTP module to upload my feed.

Could you please email me the crash log, ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter, to

Crashed on me also (V 1.6.0.5) but it was in background doing nothing.
Ive just started using it and am testing it out before deciding whether to lay out the $40 on it and would welcome any feedback on it.
I was hoping I could feed an entire webpage of links to new articles on my site, but no luck! Seems I have to add each article manually.

Yes, each link or article is a separate item is RSS feeds.

Yes, saw the note from u folks regarding 'scrapes'. Currently I use a service called Feedfire which scrapes my homepage where I store links to new articles added. I created a custom page for them to scrape but apparently it presents major hassles switching to a new target (something to do with their DB).
Okay, thanks, I'll see how much time it takes for me to go the 'homebrew' route.

Unfortunately, my crash log folder is empty! Just updated to 10.4.5 so am not sure if that cleared yesterday's log.
sorry about that

Okay, it just crashed (again, after an FTP, as someone else reported). I've mailed you the crash code.

Well after relaunching from the last crash, the entire xml file is trashed! Lost all the items, it even overwrote the file on the server (no backup of course).
Gave an end of file error.
Here's what's left of it

<br>
It means I have to rebuild the feed from the getgo.<br>
<br>
I've exported the feed from Newsfire as an opml file. Can I import this into FFA or does it have to be converted (can it be)?<br>

Before trying to upload again, check in ~/Documents/FeedForAll/Temporary/ for a file with the same names as the feed. This is saved for use in uploading.<br>
<br>
The feed on the disk is saved and the file closed when ever you save, so it shouldn't get corrupted on a crash in normal cases.<br>
<br>
But check the Temporary folder first.<br>

OPML's no good either as Feedfire just exports the link info to all the feeds, NOT the content of the feed. Tried to figure out where Feedfire keeps it but no luck.<br>

Feedfire is back up, maybe I could grab their XML code but would FFA understand it if I tried opening it in FFA<br>

It should do just fine, and translate character from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8, if it is actually in ISO-8859-1. Can you give me the URL of that feed, or similar so I can test here.
