Hallo Thomas , thank you for taking the time to have this constructive discussion with us. My opinion to your suggestions: >??? * Only show "New episodes are available" once for a set of episodes OK >??? * Remove all the buttons on the notification bubbles OK. They are there for historical reason. Somebody suggested to have the nice countdown clock in notification. As I remarqued this need at least one action, I added the "show" button. This button whas funny, I started to impulsively add others without real background reflexion on their utility. Your suggestion of a "hurry, hurry - you have to do something now!" effect as conviced me they are more disturbing as helpfull. >??? * Remove the current automatic download option (default behaviour) OK in it's actual beheviour: open an episode selection dialog for dowloading. >??? * Add option to download new episodes in the background (minimized) OK (off by default) >??? * Make sure automatic downloads never show the gPodder window OK This points are nice for having gPodder running in background. I would be happy with them. But I think there is still a question open: what to do when gPodder is NOT in background, and an automatic update appends. I thing having popups in this case might also be disturbating. Replace them with notification is not a good solution since it can be deactivated. ________________________________________________________________________ My...o? ? You...quoi ? Face...qui ?...
