Vienna comes loaded with a number of features that make it easy to use but still powerful.
|
Simple, uncluttered UI Vienna's user interface is intentionally kept sparse so as to present you with only the controls you absolutely need. All other functionality is moved to the menus. |
|
Support for RSS and Atom feeds Vienna supports both RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds. It automatically takes care of deciphering and presenting the articles in a consistent format regardless of the original feed format. |
|
Built-in Browser Vienna provides a built-in web browser based on the Safari web engine. Clicking an external link in an article provides the option to open it in Vienna for convenience. |
|
Global Search Quickly and easily search for a word or phrase across all downloaded articles and group the results together into their own folder for easy reading. |
|
Smart Folders Create folders whose contents are dynamically determined by criteria that you specify. When you view the folder, Vienna automatically displays all articles meeting that criteria. |
|
Integrated Enclosures For news articles that contains files, Vienna automatically recognises them and offers to launch them. Play your music enclosures in iTunes. |
|
Folder groups Organise your subscriptions into groups and you can even create groups within groups. |
|
Import and Export Import your subscriptions from Bloglines or any other RSS reader that exports in OPML format. Similarly export your subscriptions to an OPML format file for importing elsewhere. |
|
Scheduled Refresh Refresh your subscriptions automatically every 30 minutes or every 1, 2 or 6 hours. |
|
Flagged Articles Flag articles of interest and view them together via the Marked Articles smart folder. |
|
|
Reading Panes Choose your reading pane layout. Put it below the articles or to the right, whichever orientation works best for you. |
|
Styles Change your style in which articles are presented from any of the built-in custom styles. Or create your own styles with a bit of knowledge of HTML and CSS. |
|
|
Article Filtering Filter the displayed articles by all articles, unread articles, articles retrieved today or only those articles retrieved since the last refresh. A popup menu on the article list header makes it easy to switch between all four filter modes. |
|
|
Blogging Integration Quickly blog the selected article. Vienna automatically recognises the most common blogging software and launches the software with the details of the selected article pre-filled. |
|
|
New Get Info Window The new Get Info command on the File menu brings up a Info window that provides one stop display of a feed's link, description, count of articles and options for editing the authentication info for protected feeds. (The Validate Feed command has been moved from the File menu to the Info window.) |
