Instead, I use the database for music, and listen to podcasts using the file view. This way I can leave the default directory sort order on sort-by-date, which works well with podcasts. The script which I use to load podcasts to RB looks inside the bookmark file and removes any files older than the most recent bookmark. Before last summer, RB would automatically leave a bookmark when it finished all of the files in a directory, but this behaviour was fixed (FS#6341). Alas, this broke part of my podcast workflow, and now I have to remember to maually bookmark the last file in a podcast in order to remove all of the older ones. The behaviour I would like to see would be some sort of mechanism which, for podcasts only, would pop up a prompt to delete (or flag for deletion) a file when you finish listening to it. If you have a TiVo you would know what I'm talking about. That and bookmarks in the database... dt -- Dave Thayer | Whenever you read a good book, it's like the Denver, Colorado USA | author is right there, in the room talking to dave_at_thayer-boyle.com | you, which is why I don't like to read | good books. - Jack Handey "Deep Thoughts"Received on 2008-03-15 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
