Can you please open a bug report for this and attach the patch there? It
seems
like a good idea, but I guess we need to have some more discussion:
* Shouldn't we just exclude all files called "bbthumbs.dat"?
* You could also use this: filename.lower().endswith('.dat')
Please submit your patch with the suggestions above integrated to
bugs.gpodder.org
and I'll be happy to include your patch in one of the next releases :)
Thanks,
Thomas
