Hi there,

I use the sync feature with .mac. Unfortunately deleted RSS feeds get not synchronized between my two macs (MacBook, iMac). Both Macs are in sync. Then I delete a feed on my MacBook, sync and then I sync on my other Mac. I expected that the deleted feed will get deleted on the other mac too, but it isn't.

Bug or feature?

If it is a feature that this is not really a sync. BTW folder hierarchy (folded or unfolded) and read-state (read/unread) of articles do not sync either. I would expect that synching means to get two systems absolutely the same.

What do you think?

Thank you,
rainer

The .mac syncing never worked that well, unfortunately. And the bugs can't be fixed without an entire rewrite. So, instead of spending time trying to make it work, I decided that my efforts were better spent on making NewsGator syncing the best it can be. (NewsGator syncing already works way better than .mac syncing works in NetNewsWire.) So: .mac syncing will be deprecated in 3.2 and will be removed in 4.0.

I appreciate your candor. And I'd still like my purchase price refunded.

Hello, I'm a new user of the software and really like it, as much as I'm also learning my way around. I apologize if I should have started a new thread for this question, but I've only been using the software a couple of days and just signed up to the forum.

Are you saying I should switch my sync preferences to use Newsgator instead? Currently, I'm using .Mac and have noticed that there are indeed sync issues between my work and home computers.

Yep - NewsGator is a much better sync engine, and it is where we are focusing our development energies. It would be a good idea to switch now rathe than later when .Mac sync goes away.
