Using custom commands for subscription source
The only requirement for a custom command is that it must output a valid RSS feed response to STDOUT, for example:
wget -q http://talk.maemo.org/external?type=RSS2 -O -
Custom URL openers
Custom URL openers can be managed either in the application, or by manually creating/editing the config file located at ~/.config/cuteNews/urlopeners. Each URL opener has a display name, a regular expression (used to match the activated URL) and a command that will be executed when a URL is activated:
[My MP3 handler]
regExp=http(s|)://.+\.mp3$
command=/usr/bin/mp3player
Now, any link to an MP3 file will be opened using the specified command.
