Title:
Podcasts: interrupted downloads cannot be completed, deleted downloads
canot be reloaded
Status in Rhythmbox:
Expired
Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
If episodes are ever del
I can erase downloaded podcasts, and these options are offered:
* Delete the _reference_ to the podcast, but keep the sound file
* Delete both the reference and the sound file.
The problems I find with this are:
1) The words describing the choice are very badly chosen, what is being
offered is far from obvious.
2) Incomplete downloads cannot be completed or reloaded.
3) With the first option, a sound file will remain hidden somewhere in the
file system that Rhythmbox will not show or play (which I find it far from
useful).
4) With the second option, both the reference and the soundfile will be gone,
but with no way to ever reload them beyond deleting _all_ the episodes in that
podcast, unsubscribing, resubscribing, and downloading again all the episodes
of interest -- if still available.
Solution:
* The first option should be dismissed, as it's purpose is really confusing.
* The option to delete both the soundfile and the reference should be clearly
described.
* An option to only delete the sound file while keeping the reference should
be offered in the episode context menu.
* An option to reload the episode list should be offered in the podcast
context menu.
* If someone wants to keep the files but not the references, he or she can
already drag them into a folder in Nautilus.
This covers all use cases, would permit freeing storage space while
allowing reloading discarded episodes or incomplete downloads.
