This depends generally on how fast you would like to hear about news and how much load you want to put on the network:<ul> <li>A lower value (lower than 15 minutes) enables you to get notified about news very quickly if you want or need to. Please note that it increases the network traffic significantly, though. Therefore, such low values should not be used if you query popular news sites (such as <a href="http://slashdot.org">Slashdot</a> or <a href="http://freshmeat.net">Freshmeat</a>) as they have generally already enough work processing the incoming queries.</li> <li>A higher value (higher than 45 minutes) will make you hear about news less quickly. For non-timecritical applications, it should be suitable, though. The positive aspect of longer intervals is that only very little load is put on the network; this saves resources and nerves, for you and the system administrators of the news sites you query.</li></ul> The default value (30 minutes) should be appropriate and reasonable in most cases.

This can be handy for news sites which report a very long or useless name. Spacer5_2 Vertical Expanding 20 20 tabNewsSources News Sources unnamed 4 4 Name of Site true true Source File true true Max. Articles true true lvNewsSources true true News sources to be queried This list lets you manage the list of news sites the news ticker will query for headlines. The news sources are arranged in a tree-like hierarchy and sorted by topic. The column labeled "Max. articles" shows how many articles will be cached for the news sites (read: how many articles will be accessible through the context menu).<ul> <li>To add a site, you can either drag the URL of the RDF or RSS file to this list from Konqueror or any other application, or use the Add... button in the bottom right corner.</li> <li>To modify a site, just double-click on the particular news source you would like to edit and an input field will pop up which lets you edit the respective property.</li> <li>To remove a site, simply select a news source in the list and click on the Remove button in the lower right corner.</li></ul> Note that you can also right-click on the list to open a menu which lets you add and remove news sources. You can also enable or disable certain news sources temporarily by checking or unchecking the box next to it; those news sources whose boxes are checked are considered activated and will be processed by KNewsTicker. bRemoveNewsSource false R&emove Remove selected site Click this button to remove the currently selected news site from the list.

Managing them is fairly easy:<ul> <li>To add a new filter, specify its properties in the box below labeled Filter properties and press the Add button in the lower right corner.</li> <li>Modifying an existing filter is done in a similar manner: simply select the filter you would like to edit in the list and change its properties in the box below.</li> <li>Finally, to remove a filter, select it in the list and press the button labeled Remove in the lower right corner.</li></ul> You can also enable or disable certain filters temporarily by checking or unchecking the box next to them; those filters whose boxes are checked are considered enabled and will be honored by KNewsTicker. Note that the filters are processed from the top to the bottom so that of two filters which might nullify each other (like "Show...does not contain TDE" and "Show...contains TDE") only the one which is lower in the list will take effect.

The keyword is not case-sensitive so it does not matter whether you type "tde", "TDE" or "tDe".</li> <li>equals, does not equal - enter a phrase or expression here to have the filter match only those articles whose headlines match exactly the text you typed. The phrase you type will be considered to be case-sensitive, so it makes a difference whether you show articles which contain "Boeing" or "BOEING".</li> <li>matches - a regular expression is expected.
