Re: Problems importing Feed into Readkit

2016-07-10 Thread Grant 
Hi David,

I’ll admit, the screen that comes up when you initially open ReadKit is a bit 
confusing. It is asking you to add an account—any account, not necessarily 
Instapaper. You can fill in your Instapaper credentials, but there are also 
buttons in the dialog which allow you to select a different account type other 
than Instapaper. For example, your choices include Readability, Pocket, 
Inboard, and Feedly as well as others. Of course, you can add multiple accounts 
to ReadKit and every time you add a new account you get this same screen. One 
other choice is to enable ReadKit’s own built-in RSS engine, which you will 
need if you don’t plan to use any other type of account. You have to add at 
least one account, whether built-in RSS or a third-party one, in order for 
ReadKit to work properly. To add or delete accounts, you don’t use System 
Preferences. Instead, hit COMMAND-COMMA while ReadKit is open to access 
ReadKit’s preferences. Using standard VoiceOver commands, select the “accounts” 
tab in the window. Here you can see all the accounts you’ve added and remove 
any that you don’t want.

With all that said, are you syncing with a service like Feedly to access your 
subscriptions across multiple devices? If so, you need to import your OPML file 
via the website of the third-party account you are using. For example, with 
Feedly, visit http://feedly.com/i/discover and access the “import OPML” button 
at the very bottom of the page. You can only use ReadKit’s own “import” option 
if you’re using its local feed engine rather than a third-party account like 
Instapaper or ReadKit, and again, to use the local engine you have to enable it 
first by adding it as an account.

I know this sounds confusing, but I’m a pretty long-winded writer and wanted to 
provide all the detail I could. Once you get ReadKit set up the way you like it 
you should find it a dream to navigate and use.


Hope that helped,

Grant

Problems importing Feed into Readkit

2016-07-10 Thread David Griffith 
After hearing some good reports on Readkit RSS Reader on the Mac I installed it 
but have fallen at the first hurdle.

No matter what I seem to do I cannot import my existing OPML feed from Vienna 
as this option is dimmed in the file menu.

Looking on Google it seems that loads of people complain about this problem but 
the solution does not seem clear.

The app insisted that I log in with my Instant Paper account when it first 
opened which may be screwing things up but when I tried  to remove this account 
from system preferences it refused to proceed.

Has anybody found a way to make this app usable with a standard OPML RSS Feed 
import?
