@25: Right click on a feed and choose export or whatever it's called, should create an XML file for you.

To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower.
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.

Can there please be an option to not have the program reside in the background? I'm a very OCD person about what programs are running. In my case, for example, I only launch my podcast app to catch up then listen to a podcast and, once I close the window, I want it to be gone. I respect there are people who do want it in the background for RSS updates, but I'm one of them.
The problem here is that there's no way that I know of to stop this program behaviour -- even if you explicitly click the exit button, it just minimizes to the system tray.
Also, is it normal that the application should have so many repeat entries in task manager? Per the above problem, I was shutting it down via task manager, and at one point noticed 5 separate entries! It also seems that if you click on the desktop shortcut, the application isn't smart enough to detect that LunaRSS is already running and just bring it to the front -- it launches a brand new instance, which is probably why I had 5 separate entries. Note however, that even when I had just launched the program once, it created two separate processes in task manager.
The audio navigation while listening to a stream also needs finer control. At one point, I was listening to a podcast where the left and right arrow were skipping by several minute intervals, and unless I'm missing it, there was no way to fine-tune this so that I could skip just seconds.

Edit: I just went to download the full archive of a big feed and the program gave me a quick progress bar, but then it stopped after a while and I am now just seeing the abort button. There's no indication that it's downloading, what speeds it's downloading at, what file it's download, what the progress of that file or of the entire download is, or anything. I have no idea if the program's frozen and I should just click abort, or if it's actually still downloading and I should let it continue.

I really do like some of the things LunaRSS does, but these issues make it less than ideal for me.
