Hi Thomas For sometime I have been having an issue every time I edit preferences. The symptoms of the problem are basically that I have previously set the download folder to be '/home/paul/Podcasts'. However every time I load up the preferences dialog the download folder browser button showed my download directory directory as 'paul'. As a consequence when I closed the preference GUI the software acted as if there was a change and kind of attempted to move my podcasts, however fortunately it always failed and gave an error. I took a look at the code and I have attached a patch that seems to work. Instead of setting the file name property of the folder browser I set the current folder. This has the desired affect. I also updated the code for the Torrent folder selection and iPod/MP3 folder selection as these seemed to exhibit the same problem. I think this maybe related to the problem Chris Arnold reported on Wednesday https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/gpodder-devel/2007-December/001227.html Regards Paul -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
