I have the default setting of check every 60 minutes. Shouldn't that timer get reset if it's polled manually?

This would take the .opml generated by the "Export" process, use an XSLT to transform it to (X)HTML, and then FTP the resulting file to a server/directory of the user's choice. (For the XSL, you could provide a few default templates, or advanced users could write their own.) I know I could write a script to do all of this, but it would be really cool to be able to do as a one-click thing straight from the aggregator. Anders Jacobsen does this for his list of feeds at http://www.jacobsen.no/anders/subscriptions. Feature suggestion: a “Publish” button in the Options screen.

If not, would it make sense to have the "refresh every N minutes" on a per-feed basis, rather than as a global setting?
