| I have a couple of feeds which are ~95% "noise" on which I've set up a "Watch" for specific keywords to highlight the 5% of articles I am interested in. I'd like to somehow only subscribe to the feed for the purposes of populating the "Watch" I'm interested in, somehow discarding the feed items which don't match the Watch or at least hiding the 95% of the feed articles I'm not interested in? You could achieve the same thing with a per-feed filter that excludes feed items that don't match specific pattern but I figure that's more difficult to implement than somehow "hiding" or even just "auto mark as read" anything not matching a Watch or Watches? Unless there are any tips to enable me to simulate this in the existing FeedDemon 2.6.1B3?

| I actually wouldn't mind having this feature myself - there are some feeds I'm subscribed to which I'd like to show up in the "Popular Topics" report, but I don't care about the rest of the feed content. I don't plan to add this to v2.6.1, but you can expect to see it in a future release. Thanks,

I don't plan to add this to...
Thanks,
Do you know how many times I've heard you say that and then all of a sudden it's in the next build?

Do you know how many times I've heard you say that and then all of a sudden it's in the next build? Probably more times than I can count! But this time it's for real, since I want to avoid requiring updated FDLANGs for v2.6.1, and adding this feature would mean changing the language file.

This would be really handy for the NG forum rss feed, I've been too lazy to switch to a yahoo pipe  I think the best way is mark "ignored" items as read, otherwise when I get home NNW will still show the full contents of the feed as unread.
Please note that I am not actually employed by NewsGator, and my opinions should not be taken as their official stance on any matter. I'm just a happy FD user (since pre-1.0 alpha in 2003) helping out where I can.

I've been too lazy to switch to a yahoo pipe
I gave up on the Pipe I created. It didn't update quick enough for my tastes. I just built Watches in FD and Smart Lists in NNW using the forum reference in the "[posted by X in Y]" at the bottom of each post in the feed.
Now I read all the forums there and once I've swept through, I manually mark the main feed as read. It adds an extra step, but works pretty well for me.

| Thanks for the quick responses folks. It's nice to know I've asked for something that Nick would even like to see Anyway, please keep up the great work on this excellent application. Jack/Spyder: You mentioned creating a Watch and using [posted by X in Y] to read, I guess, specific forums (e.g. FeedDemon, Beta Forums) or specific users' posts? Is there some kind of "master" RSS feed that contains posts from all the forums here that you subscribe to, 'cos I can't find it?  Thanks.

Here you go: http://www.newsgator.com/forumrss.aspx
I thought there was a post somewhere that provided the URL, but I can't locate it (though I didn't look too hard).

Perfect. Thanks very much.  I have a watch called "Software I Like" which has a big list of, not unsurprisingly, software that I like  which I use to highlight latest updates from a FileHippo RSS feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/filehippo). Of course in that list of software that I like is FeedDemon When I added the FeedDemon Forum Posts RSS feed you gave me I got loads of "matches" in my "Software I Like" watch because, of course, the keyword FeedDemon appears in almost every one! I therefore added a -[posted keyword to exclude forum post entries from "Software I Like" which seemed to have the desired effect. However, is this the best way to approach this issue? I guess in a roundabout way, it'd be nice to pick which feeds (or *, all feeds) any particular watch applies to? Then I could simply tick my FileHippo feed as the only feed "watched" by my "Software I Like" watch. I'm guessing this is a fairly "involved" change to FeedDemon though but I'd be surprised if I wasn't the first to ask for it?
