Hi Søren, You asked: >Thank you so much for your answer. The danish keyboard layout is crap, >so I can't either use command and left and right brackets commands >for expand and colaps the folders.
The command right and left bracket commands are undocumented shortcuts that were reported at Mac OS X Hints, so maybe it's not surprising that these don't work generally. I did find a link that describes how you can change your default keyboard, but that's probably too drastic a solution! Anyway, here it is at Mac OS X Hints: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060601175751872&mode=print They tell you to run setup assistant again and input your keyboard choice. <begin excerpt> The solution is simple enough: run Setup Assistant again. Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), and type: sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app\ /Contents/MacOS/Setup Assistant <end excerpt> >Do you know which folder are the podcasts downloaded to as default? I >didn't saw Itunes is set to download podcasts automaticly. I'm >subscribed to over 20 podcast feeds. Podcasts you subscribe to through the iTunes store, or by selecting the "Subscribe to podcast" option on the Advanced menu of the iTunes menu bar (VO-keys+m then type "A" to go to Advanced menu, down arrow twice to the subscribe option and return; then type or paste in a podcast feed address into the text box for URL and return) are stored in ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts/ in folders arranged by podcast subscription name. For example, one of these folders might be "Screenless Switchers -" and another "Blind Cool Tech". Inside each folder are the individual episodes. There is an iTunes "Show in Finder" command that will show you where each selected track is in a finder window. The keyboard shortcut is command-r. For podcasts I believe you may have to select specific podcast episodes to use command-r, but you can always use the command-up arrow shortcut to navigate up a level in finder and then use command-down arrow to get back to the selected podcasts. Also, you can always check your podcasts in the songs outline and manually download specific episodes. Select "Podcasts" in the sources outline and tab to the songs outline and interact. You can winnow down the displayed selections in the songs outline by typing part of a name for the podcast subscription in the search text field, just as for music selections. Open the folder and VO-keys down arrow to check the podcast episodes. Use the contextual menu to update the feed or download an episode. I wish there were an option in the contextual menu that would go to the podcast's page in the iTunes store, so that it is possible to sample new episodes before downloading, but there isn't. I can only sample episodes if I have the podcast URL page at iTunes saved, although some podcast web pages will give you this link. Apple is still fiddling with these features.
