One thing I would like to see in rdimport is the option to move the file to another folder as opposed to deleting. I get a number of weekly 1 hour segments, but I don't want to delete so I can use them at a later date if I want. Using rdimport does not allow me to move them so I have the delete box un-ticked, then I have to manually move the files to a folder for storage.
Just a thought.

Sometimes rdimport may have problems deleting a file if it is owned by someone else. Eg Rivendell runs as user "bob" but the files get copied via a samba or nfs share as user "guest". You might have to change ownership of the directory (dropbox) to 666 either by right clicking on the folder in nautilus or using the command line Many Thanks Geoff On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 8:45 AM, Rob Landry <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have rdimport running in dropbox mode under Rivendell 2.0.2.
