Wiping the Brief feed list

[Freudentaumel]

Some months ago I tested "Brief" again and said again goodbye to it. When I wanted to test "Brief" again, all the feeds I had subscribed to at the time were still available.

How can I empty the feed list before re-testing "Brief"?

Is nobody "at home" at the moment (smile-smile)?

Sorry, too many deadlines around. There's no easy way at the moment as this part was specifically designed to avoid accidentally losing the feed list. Feature request noted.

How can I empty the feed list before re-testing "Brief"?

On Firefox:

1. with Brief loaded in a tab, press F12 to bring up the Developer Tools
2. click on "Storage"
3. expand the triangles for Indexed DB > moz-extension://393... > brief (default)
4. click on "feeds"
5. click on any entry in the right column (with Key and Value column headings) ... doesn't matter which one, you just want to make sure your focus is in that section and an item is selected
6. right-click the same item ... a two-entry contextual menu will pop up
7. select "Delete All" from that menu
8. close Brief and then re-launch it

That will blow away all the feeds immediately and irrevocably. There is no undo, so be sure you want to delete all of your feeds.

You can use a similar approach to completely empty the "entries" and "revisions" databases. You are pretty-much at a blank slate at that point. I don't know what the "migrations' database is used for, so won't make any comment about that.

There is probably a faster way to delete all your feeds, but the above works and only takes a few seconds.
