Although SlashDock has been my favorite newsfeed reader so far, I think it is not very usable with a large number of feeds.

Switching to a different reader, I realized that SlashDock doesn’t allow to export the feeds, so I wrote a script for doing the job. The result is here.

This script converts SlashDock feeds in the widely used format OPML. It is written in python, because this language manages xml pretty well.

Usage

Download the script and run this command from the terminal:

     python slashdock2opml.py >myfeeds.opml

To convert feeds from different user accounts, run:

    python slashdock2opml.py config_file >myfeeds.opml

config_file being the path of SlashDock.config.plist, located in the Preferences folder.
