As I was experimenting with modifying the Bloglines plugin for Omea last night I realized that it would probably be pretty easy to modify the plugin for Newsgator. Tonight I created a Newsgator Plugin for Omea that seems to work pretty well. The plugin adds a “Import Newsgator Subscription…” item to the File menu. Clicking the item brings up a login window where you enter you’re Newsgator login, password, and edition (Web Edition). After entering the login details you can click the “Import” button and optionally check a preview checkbox if you want to view the feeds you’re about to import.
After importing the feeds you have to select all the feeds and right click “Properties”. Within the properties window you need to select HTTP Login and enter you’re Newsgator login details. If you add a new feed via Newsgator you need to rerun the Newsgator Subscription Import, and if you add a feed directly to Omea it doesn’t get synced back up with Newsgator. The current sync API’s for both Newsgator and Bloglines don’t let you add feeds via the API.
After I do a little more testing I’ll be making this available to anyone whose interested. Drop me a line / comment if your interested.
