Quickly change settings for all podcasts

New postby arkolbus on Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:57 am

I'd like a way to quickly change the settings for all podcasts. Right now, it appears that the "Default Podcast Settings" are only applied to new feeds as they are added, not applied to all podcasts.

I subscribe to 37 podcasts. These podcasts have varying download and maintenance settings as I've experimented with the software and my listening habits. I'd like to standardize everything, but don't want to have to modify these settings by hand for each podcast.

There are a couple ways to do this. I'd prefer that I could only apply a single setting across all podcasts (update frequency, for example), rather than have the all of the podcast settings overwritten. I realize this may be complicated, though, so I'll accept a way to just apply the default podcast settings to all podcasts. I have a couple podcasts that would have a higher number to keep, but I can adjust those manually after standardizing everything else.

Thanks, I had this on the list before, but I'm not sure where it went. I'll see what I can do about making it easy to do.

I've just been through my list, which is thankfully more manageable, but great to know this will be covered in the future.. it;s not often I remove a podcast form my list ;)

Seems to work great as implemented. This is actually more functionality than I expected. It's nice that you can select individual settings to apply, and which podcasts the settings get applied to!

I was a little confused on how to apply the settings from the screen, until I figured out it was the escape key. An on-screen button or menu item would be nice. I know it's a settings screen, but overwriting settings for a bunch of podcasts feels more like an action than a simple setting change.

Heh, there was supposed to be an 'Apply' menu item, but I forgot to actually link it to the screen :)
