As you'd expect, FeedDemon 1.6 will offer much better synchronization with NewsGator Online, making life easier for those who read feeds on multiple computers. If you read an item on one computer, it will remain read on any computer you use.
I've tried to keep the whole synchronization process as simple as possible, so you don't have to do much to get it working. Merging your FeedDemon and NewsGator Online subscriptions is a simple one-click process, which makes it ridiculously easy to keep your subscriptions synched. So regardless of whether you're a long-time FeedDemon user who has never used NewsGator Online, or you're a NewsGator Online user who has never used FeedDemon, you can get started quickly.
You can also choose on an individual basis which folders you want to keep synched with NewsGator Online. So, you can keep certain feeds private to one computer, and other feeds synchronized with NewsGator Online. Once a FeedDemon folder is marked to sync with NewsGator Online, any feed you add to that folder will automatically be added to your NewsGator Online subscriptions.
PS: As you can see from the above screenshot, you can now change settings at the folder level - yet another popular feature request that made it's way into v1.6.
sweeeeeet :D
only one question - does this include the "synchronise read items" option someone asked for on the forums? if so, this just became the ultimate feature :)

Version 1.6 is shaping up to be a fantastic release! I can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm supposing when it is released the details of the NewsGator two year subscription for previous FeedDemon users will have been worked out.

even more good news... wow, I don't think I've been looking forward to a FD release this much since 1.0 :)

Will you be able to add new feeds to your NewsGator account from FeedDemon? Or do you need to login to the website to do that?

William, read the last sentence before the screenshot:
"Once a FeedDemon folder is marked to sync with NewsGator Online, any feed you add to that folder will automatically be added to your NewsGator Online subscriptions."
This is basically a godsend for those of us who use FD both at home and at work :)

This is going to revolutionise feed-reading, if FeedDemon hadn't already done so. Cannot WAIT for this, Nick
