Is there a possibility to export a list of articles indicated per RSS feed ? This list could be in .csv or other common list format, and would contain all the information mentioned in the overview list: subject, date, folder, author, link, if possible brief summary, attachments. Is there any plug-in for this feature available ?

Not exactly, but…

1/ One of the lesser known feature of Vienna is that you can select multiple articles at once in the main tab. Just extend the selection by clicking on articles while pressing the Shift key or the Command key (so the selection can be discontinuous).

2/ You can then copy these articles and paste them in a third party app. Drag and drop might also be convenient. You will not get all the details you want, though…

3/ if you want to keep as much details as possible, you can print the selection to a PDF.

4/ Some people wanting to archive articles through PDF files were annoyed by relative dates ("Today", "Yesterday") in the output.
So we added a secret preference, which currently have to be activated in the Terminal :
defaults write uk.co.opencommunity.vienna2 DoesRelativeDateFormatting 0
will force Vienna to display absolute dates in Articles view.
You will have to quit and relaunch Vienna to activate the change.
To deactivate: defaults delete uk.co.opencommunity.vienna2 DoesRelativeDateFormatting

Example :
Vienna - 3 articles.pdf
