Hi

I'd got used to Newsnewswire's fun habit of moving the occasional feed
to a different folder, but it played a stinker on me when I was away
from the 'puter this evening. It deleted all my folders and feeds and
replaced them with a collection of feeds I've never even heard of,
even less subscribed to. In the Library > Application Support folder
there's a long string of p.list files and feeds.noindex folder with a
complete list of my feeds and the rogue ones the application added, so
can I restore my feeds from there? Or at all? If not, Netnewswire is
headed for the sunset and won't be coming back.

I suppose the message I got from the Mac that my start-up disk was
full (it wasn't) was connected to this problem; GetInfo told me there
was 1Gb space available instead of the >200Gb there actually is but
rebooting sorted that out.

This really sucks.

TIA for any help.

Pauline
