 and immediately after this crash, ~/.raggle/feeds.yaml was zero-sized.
 Luckily, there was still a usable ~/.raggle/feeds.yaml~ around.

im sorry to say im unable to reproduce this bug. Do you have a custom 
configuration file you can send me? What did you do right before raggle
crashed? Did you Mark items as Unread or did this bug hit you out of 
nowhere? Can you reproduce it with your backup feeds.yaml~?

bye,

Hi - I've run into this bug a few times and I've managed to 
(symptomatically) infer that this happens (to me) ONLY when raggle is 
saving the feed configuration (automatically every now and then) AND I use 
a key press like the cursor keys to select another window (item/desc/feed) 
as the active window. It's happened often enough that I've avoided using 
the arrow keys as much as possible (I don't want to disable the feed save 
feature).


I never got around to debugging it though.

I should think that you should be able to reproduce it if you use the 
arrow keys to move around a bunch of feeds (unhighlighting them possibly - 
since you're reading them) around the time an auto save kicks in.


HTH.

Nars.

following your description im still unable to reproduce this over here.
It seems like this is the same kind of bug which makes raggle crash in
select_item from time to time. I think both issues are quite critical as
~/.raggle/ gets mangled. Could you do some further testing? Like,
running raggle with --diag or something which could show a bit more
information of whats happening?

Which one? config.rb? There's nothing special in mine, just setting w3m as
my browser explicitly.

 What did you do right before raggle crashed? Did you Mark items as Unread
 or did this bug hit you out of nowhere?

I was indeed marking items as unread - I tend to do that for items I need to
examine again later (e.g. GNOME release announcements that may require
packaging).

 Can you reproduce it with your backup feeds.yaml~?

No, it's not that deterministic. After copying back feeds.yaml~ to
feeds.yaml and restarting raggle, things were back to normal.
