Settings - Operation

Select [Settings] from the pop-up menu to display the settings dialog.
The following settings can be made on the [Operation] tab.

• RSS update check interval
  Set the update check interval (in minutes) for the feeds set on the [RSS] tab.
  
  If the update check interval is too short, it will put a strain on not only the client PC but also the network and web server, so we recommend setting it to at least 30 minutes in an Internet environment, and at least 10 minutes in an intranet environment (access to an internal company site, etc.).
  
  
• Breaking news display time
  Specify the number of seconds to display the news.
  The value you specify can range from 1 to 30 seconds.
  The default is 10 seconds.
  
  * When the breaking news display type is "toast notification", the last display item will be displayed for a minimum of 10 seconds.
  * When "Scrolling Display" is enabled, this is treated as the waiting time after the scrolling has finished.
  for example,
  Condition 1: 3 breaking news items are displayed
  Condition 2: Set the display time for breaking news to 1 second
  In this case, the first breaking news item will be displayed for 1 second, the second for 1 second, and the third (last breaking news item) for 10 seconds.
  
  
• Display only the current day's RSS
  If enabled, the filter will not display new RSS items other than those from today.
  
  
• Show errors in a toast notification
  If the feed access fails, a toast notification will be displayed from the persistent icon ().
  
  
  
• Display title when showing breaking news
  When the breaking news display type is subtitle superimposition, the title (site name) of the loaded RSS will flash before displaying the subtitles (latest feed).
  If the breaking news display type is a toast notification, the title line will be displayed on the first line of the toast notification.
  
  You can change the title display string by changing the string in the text box.
  If you specify "$T" in the string, the specified part will be replaced with the title name (RSS site name).
  The title of the feed is taken from the RSS that you loaded.
  
  
• Play sound when breaking news is displayed
  You can play sound when breaking news is displayed (subtitle superimposition and toast notification).
  Only WAVE files (extension: .wav) can be played.
  
  
• Read aloud when breaking news is displayed
  The Windows voice function will be used to read out the title of breaking news.
  *For Windows 11, the voice must be installed in Settings > Time & Language > Speech.
  *The audio cannot be changed.
  
  
• If a specific string is present, do not display breaking news.
  Specify this if you do not want to display the title text as breaking news if it contains a certain string.
  The specified string is specified using regular expressions.
  
  For example, if you want to exclude titles that start with "AD:", specify the regular expression ^AD:
  
  If you want to exclude titles that start with "[ PR ]" and "AD:"
  ^\[ PR \]|^AD:
  
  In addition, full-width characters and half-width characters are compared as separate entities.
  
  RSS News Flash Viewer supports the use of C# regular expressions.
  Detailed explanation of regular expressions will be omitted as they are not a specific specification of RSS News Flash Viewer.
  
  
• Repeating previously viewed news items
  The default is disabled.
  If disabled, only new RSS feeds will be displayed and nothing will be displayed until the next update check.
  
  If you enable this check, after displaying new arrivals, previously displayed RSS will be displayed repeatedly until the next update time.
  When you redisplay, the specified number of items with the most recent date and time are displayed from the History List.
  
  *To use this function, you must enable "Display RSS loaded at startup".
   If disabled, nothing will be displayed immediately after startup.
