Dave Winer released newsRiver.root - his aggregator for the OPML Editor. And what happened again - as so often with him? The character set support is complete garbage. The thing can only correctly read feeds with iso-8859-1, utf-8 feeds get broken special characters. I would really be interested to know if he will ever understand the purpose of character sets like utf-8, or if he will ever give his software a proper basis to support more than just the system character set.
Apart from that, his OPML Editor still forces me to start MSIE - sorry, but that is really ridiculous. And of course there is no easy place to change that - presumably I can change it if I change a setting somewhere in the depths of the Frontier database, which will then possibly be overwritten by the next update ...
And after some searching I found it: in opml.root you have to look for system.verbs.builtins.webBrowser and change the two scripts getDefaultBrowser and launch. In getDefaultBrowser the default is set to MSIE for Carbon, which must be changed to sfri. And in launch you have to add sfri as a valid selection. And yes, the next update in the region will flatten that again ...
