Re: Drag and drop was Re: Vienna
Hi Sarah, Lol I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to categories and folders. I have so many feeds and like to keep them in categories. But I've figured out how to do this in an opml file so will sort it that way and import them. I do love the program and will be sticking with it.

Maybe that will help a little. Still, it is a little tricky to get things exactly right with regard to the order of things in Vienna.

Re: Drag and drop was Re: Vienna
I don't even bother with folders. My feeds are jus talphabitised. lol! I would not even worry about it, destroy your folders and just have the feeds scattered or try and put them in ABC order. but make sure that you move your feeds out of the folders before you do this of corse. Vienna really rocks and is a very good pod catcher if you want to use it that way. Take care.

Re: Drag and drop was Re: Vienna
Hi, Ah this is interesting as I haven't upgraded yet and am still using OS X 10.8.4. I wonder if there's some way of structuring an opml file so that feeds could be imported and put into desired folders in the way I want. I'm not too bothered about alphabetising them but I really do want to be able to put folders where I want. This is a shame as I really like the app otherwise.

I think there is a focus issue as I've been trying to alphabetize my feeds again aster adding new ones. it was easier in osx mountain lion as focus was never lost, how ever it has become nearly impossible to do this under the current build of mavericks.

Re: Drag and drop was Re: Vienna
Catherine, When I get the chance later, I’ll experiment with it to try to give you some suggestions for how to get things just right with regard to the order of folders/feeds in Vienna. For now, let me just say that your confusion about the enclosed items will be eliminated when you understand that VO is not saying “two items and closed.” It is saying “two items enclosed.” Maybe that will help a little. Still, it is a little tricky to get things exactly right with regard to the order of things in Vienna. Admittedly, I have not been overly concerned about it but to get things into folders.

Drag and drop was Re: Vienna
Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me be more successful at drag and drop. I've been trying to create folders and put them in the order I want and at the level I want in Vienna but this probably applies to other situations too.
