[ reply ]   2007-06-12 09:05 Hi David, You can do anything you want with the files once podcatcher has finished dowloading them: you can delete them, move them to another directory or to your media player device, rename them, etc. All podcatcher needs to function are the state files such as 'history'. So podcatcher will not download the same files twice when this sequence of UNIX commands is used: podcatcher feeds.opml rm -r cache/* podcatcher feeds.opml As a user, you do not need to know how podcatcher uses its state files, but I can tell you that podcatcher does not keep track of download dates. I hope this helps. By: David Syratt RE: Cache clearing question. [ reply ]   2007-06-12 06:35 Ok - so it appears that the history file keeps a list of the downloaded files. But is there a record of what date they were actually downloaded. Is the history file scanned prior to a "new" downloaded? Regards David By: David Syratt Cache clearing question. [ reply ]   2007-06-12 06:24 Which file keeps a record of the downloaded files. If I clear the cache of podcasts will this mean that the next run of the Podcatcher script will retrieve the same podcasts? Currently strategy = new. If this obvious please excuse my Podcaster/Ruby newbie question. Regards David
