![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Are associated with an element via its ContextFlyout property.Are invoked by right clicking (or an equivalent action, such as pressing and holding with your finger).Are attached to a single element and display secondary commands.In this scenario, the primary role of the text element is to present and edit text additional commands (such as Cut, Copy, and Paste) are secondary and belong in a context menu.Ĭontext menus have the following characteristics: ![]() If you want to add commands (such as Cut, Copy, and Paste) to a text or image element, use a context menu instead of a menu. If the host element is some other type of element that has another primary purpose (such as presenting text or an image), use a context menu.If the host element is a button or some other command element whose primary role is to present additional commands, use a menu.When should you use a menu or a context menu? If a particular command will be used frequently and you have the space available, consider placing it directly in its own element so that users don't have to go through a menu to get to it. To display arbitrary content, such as a notification or confirmation request, use a dialog or a flyout. Menus and context menus are for organizing commands and saving space by hiding those commands until the user needs them. However there are differences between them, such as what you should use to create them and how they are accessed by a user. They both display an organized list of commands or options and save space by hiding until the user needs them. If you’re running CentOS, just enable the EPEL repository and you should be able to easily download QuiteRSS to your computer.Menus and context menus are similar in how they look and what they can contain. If you’re running Fedora, it’s on the EPEL repository making it an easy download and install. If you’re a fan of RSS readers, I suggest you give the solid QuiteRSS a try. In my example, I copied the backup from a Linux Mint 17 system to a CentOS 7 system and it worked fine. Open QuiteRSS and you should see that the backup has been restored along with your customizations like “star” feeds etc. $ cp feeds.db /home/thomaspc/.local/share/data/QuiteRss/QuiteRss/feeds.dbĬp: overwrite ‘/home/thomaspc/.local/share/data/QuiteRss/QuiteRss/feeds.db’? yĪgain, hit y key and then the return key when it asks you for permission to overwrite the feeds.db file. Hit y key and then the return key when it asks you for permission to overwrite the file. If you’re using Linux, open the terminal and then copy the files as shown below (substitute your user name for “thomaspc”): $ cp QuiteRss.ini /home/thomaspc/.config/QuiteRss/QuiteRss.iniĬp: overwrite ‘/home/thomaspc/.config/QuiteRss/QuiteRss.ini’? y Rename the two files created from the backup to QuiteRss.ini and feeds.db.Ĭlose QuiteRSS before restoring the backup. Depending on the date of your backup, they’ll look like this – QuiteRss.ini_07-57-56.bak and feeds.db_07-57-56.bak. When you make a backup, the program creates two files. Offering a way to create the backup from within the program’s menu but not to provide a way to restore the backup from inside the program menu seems odd.īut it didn’t take long for me to find a solution to restoring the backup. Unfortunately, there’s no option to recover from a backup from inside the QuiteRSS program. I first copied the backup from my Linux Mint 17.2 to an USB drive and then copied the files to the desktop of my CentOS system. Recently I wanted a copy of my carefully picked QuiteRSS feeds on a CentOS 7 system. Like any good IT user, every month or so I make a backup of QuiteRSS (Via File –> Create Backup on the menu bar) from inside the program just in case I need it later. The free reader works on Windows and Mac OS X too but I have yet to try them on those platforms. The reader works fine on Linux and I can’t recollect it ever crashing on me. I’ve installed it on Linux Mint and CentOS. QuiteRSS is an excellent open source cross-platform RSS news feed reader that I have been using for about a year now with mucho satisfaction. ![]()
