Menu: Server - Properties - Newsrc Tab
The Newsrc options let you automatically import or export standard newsrc files. Gravity lets you export the newsrc files so that you can transport information between machines (and across platforms and other newsreaders).
A newsrc file is a text file that contains the names of newsgroups, information about each one, such as whether you subscribe to it, and which articles in that newsgroup have been read.
Ø Note: A .newsrc file is NOT a backup. To restore/backup all data, use the Tools - Database - Import/Export commands.
To Set NEWSRC Options
1. If you want to automatically open a newsrc file when starting Gravity, select the Import newsrc file on startup check box, then provide the name of the file in the Import file from field. Use the Browse button to locate the file, if necessary.
2. If you want to automatically export a newsrc file when exiting Gravity, select the Export newsrc file on shutdown check box, then provide the name of the file in the Export to file field. Use the Browse button to locate the file, if necessary.
3. If you only want to export information pertaining to your subscribed newsgroups, select the "Export subscribed groups only" check box. Selecting this option reduces the size of the exported information.
