Change Podcast Directory?

by Fortran :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Folks, I just installed Banshee 1.0 and I like it, but I'm wondering if it's possible to move the default Podcasts directory?

I ask because I'd rather not have it in /home as I do auto-backups of /home many times a day and would rather have the podcasts on the same, un-backed-up external drive that my Music, Pictures, etc. are located.  I did try looking through gconf-editor but I couldn't find a key for this option.

Is this possible?

It looks like the Podcast directory is placed in a sub-directory named Podcasts in the Music directory by default.  I didn't look too in depth but seems like the magic happens on or around line 80 here http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/banshee/trunk/banshee/src/Extensions/Banshee.Podcasting/Banshee.Podcasting/PodcastService.cs?view=annotate.  Is there a way to link directly to a line in the repository?

I like this idea a lot.  Would this make sense?

1.  In the Tools/Preferences tab add an additional dialog tab for
"Files"
2.  Allow the user to configure paths for...
    a.  Music
    b.  Podcasts
    c.  Movies/Video podcasts
    d.  Coverart
3.  The default would be to have them cascaded under the Music folder.
4.  We could even consider a "Backup..." button?

Steve.

Huh...it wasn't on mine.  I have my Music on /scratch/$USER/Music, but Podcasts showed up in /home/$USER/Podcasts.

Could this be cruft from my pre-1.0 banshee days mucking around with gconf or .config?

Personally, I'd split out video podcasts and movies - podcasts are by
nature a lot more dynamic...

Just waiting for that podcast sync bug to get fixed so I can finally use
banshee daily...

I think it sounds like a great idea. Could you possibly create a bug on Bugzilla? (If not, I always could.)
