Calibre - Custom news sources (RSS feeds) aren't being saved in my recipes

[matthewkrieger]

Hi - I read this article http://kindlelove.wordpress.com/2010...friend-part-1/ about using Calibre to email articles to a Kindle based on RSS feeds.

First, I've having a problem adding custom RSS feeds. Here's what I'm doing.

Click on Fetch News, Add a custom news source.
Create a new recipe.
Add a feed to the recipe by filling in the feed title and url fields.

At this point the feed(s) show in the "Feeds in recipe" list box. There's no Save button so I click Close. When I go back to this screen and click on my recipe, none of the feeds I entered show up.

Second, can I save a recipe (and it's associated RSS feeds) to a file? I have a lot of RSS feeds to enter so I figured if I could save a file and then automatically populate the file with my feeds in the proper format that it would save me a lot of typing using the UI. I see the option to load recipes from a file but not save.

Thanks
