All,
I just posted a script that saves items from your selected feed (or folder of feeds) to DEVONthink Pro as web archives, with the following options:
Which items to save:
-All items
-Flagged items
-Unread items
-Read items
How to archive:
- Save just the content of the news item (typically the best option if the site provides full-text feeds)
- Save the item’s target website (this should be the whole article – particularly useful if the newsfeed is truncated)
- Go to the item’s target website and looks for a link that includes the string “Print”. If one exists, it saves the print-ready page to DEVONthink. If none exists, reverts to “Site” behavior.
Perform post-archive actions: mark read, unflag, or do nothing. This action occurs after DEVONthink has archived the article, so you can see archive progress in action and ensure you don’t double-archive an article
Optional: introduce a random time delay between archiving articles if using “Site” or “Site/Print”. (Useful if the site you’re reading from has countermeasures to prevent content scraping. Read: if they’re trying to keep you from saving their content for later use.)

Suggestions are always more than welcome… and my thanks to those of you whose scripts were useful in this process. (Unfortunately this is something I started so long ago, I have no idea what scripts I may have referred to.)
Best,
Dan
