The filesystem structure from gPodder 0.8.0 to 0.8.9 changed like this:
0.8.0:
~/.config/gpodder/downloads/[short-name]/[filename].[ext]
where [short-name] is the name with spaces and special characters
stripped, also found in "channels.xml" in the gPodder config dir. The
[filename] part is the md5sum of the filename download URL.
0.8.9:
[gpodder-download-dir]/[md5-channel]/[filename].[ext]
Where [md5-channel] is the md5sum of the channel feed URL and
[filename] is the same as in 0.8.0.
To convert the old file naming scheme to the new one, you would have to
1) get a list of all channel URLs from channels.xml plus
their correspondent "short-name" values
2) calculate the md5sum of the channel URL
3) create the new channel downloads folder (md5sum of channel URL)
4) move all downloads + index.xml (local podcast database) to the new
download folder
5) manually move any leftover podcasts, probably from pre-0.7 gpodder
filenaming system (was: filename on server)
If you really come around to working out a script, I'd be glad to add
it to the gPodder distribution :)
HTH.
Thomas
