The program runs clean up operations regularly and does a good job at that from what I can tell. You can however add your own labels as well, for instance to label different projects or research related information differently.Įach label consists of a name, icon, color and background text. QuiteRSS ships with a set of labels that you can use right away. You can change the settings under Options > Fonts & Colors. This can be useful if you want a larger font, a different font, or simply different font colors. You can change the font that is used to display the feed and news list in the program. Examples are sharing options to Google+, Email, Twitter, all labels, Minimize to tray or star news.

You find several other interesting shortcuts under Options > Keyboard Shortcuts. Here are a couple of important shortcuts for QuiteRSS that you may want to add to your repertoire. It is never bad to know a couple of keyboard shortcuts that get you around in a program quicker and faster than any mouse actions can. To disable notifications, uncheck the "display notification for incoming news" preference.

I once again do not need to get a notification when new news arrives, as I check the program interface regularly anyway. Here you can also change the notification settings. You can disable sounds under notifications in the options. While this may be useful to some, I find it annoying as I hear that sound multiple times in the hour. The notification system is set to play a sound when new news has been downloaded. Check the "mark displayed news as read when switching feeds".To change that behavior and mark all news items of a group / site as read when you switch to another do the following: I'm usually looking at titles only and not all news articles, which means that I have to click on the mark read button all the time to mark all news of a site as read. News are marked read by default when you select them in the interface, or when you click on one of the mark read buttons in the program's toolbars. This is especially useful if you keep your RSS reader open all day long.
QUITERSS HELP UPDATE
You may also want to check "automatically update the feeds every x minutes/hours" to avoid having to update feeds manually all the time. Open Feeds in the options window and check the "automatically update the feeds on startup" preference there. If you want the program to do that, you need to make another configuration change. QuiteRSS does not update feeds on startup by default. You can disable that behavior on the same page by unchecking "open links in external browser in background (experimental). Links are opened in background by default.
QUITERSS HELP PORTABLE
If you prefer to use a different browser instead, or a portable version, add it under external browser in the same window. This loads articles in the default browser automatically.

Here you need to switch from "use embedded browser" to "use external browser" near the top. To make the change select Tools > Options or press F8, and switch to browser when the new window opens up. Once you have made the change, articles that you click on get automatically opened in the selected web browser instead of in the QuiteRSS interface. it is also a lot faster than QuiteRSS in this regard. Not only do I trust Firefox more in regards to security. I prefer to open news in Firefox instead, my default browser. QuiteRSS opens articles that you click on in an internal browser by default.
