This is already solved in Amarok 2.2, you should look closer at that: new podcast episodes have a yellow star. using official 2.2.0 release new podcasts have a yellow star, downloaded ones have a blue arrow no visual difference btw podcasts i have downloaded and have listened to and those i have downloaded but not listened to ..amarok1 and an option to mark podcasts as listened and as unlistened ..amarok2 so far does not no visual difference btw podcasts with new episodes and those without from the top level icon ..i have to expand the podcast to see individual shows to see if there are any new ones ..not easy with more than 30 podcasts and not knowing when new shows are downloaded in what podcast hope you guys dont mind me recharging teh status to uncomfirmed since "solved" diesnt seem appropriate Changed the download icon into an emblem. Also increased the size of the podcast icons to 24x24 since the emblem is barely visible. v2.2.0-452-g29d6035 updated git to "02523d9..b46cd2b" ( i have no idea what those numbers means but i hope it will be sufficient for you guys to know that i am running on git code updated couple of hours ago ) i really hope this gets solved before the new release as i am a big podcast user and i love amarok currently, 1. there is a visual indication of new podcasts 2. there is a visual indication of new podcasts that are already downloaded but the difference is too small to see 3. there is no visual indication btw a podcast that is downloaded and already listened and a podcast is not marked as new and not downloaded. A user must right click a podcast to know the difference based on context menu that shows up 4. No visual indication of new podcasts on the top level icon suggestions: use different icons/colors to show different status of the podcasts yellow star: a new podcast is available blue star : a new podcast is available and is already downloaded green star : a podcast is already downloaded and already listened to top level icon should also change colors to indicate new podcasts are available. There is currently no visual indication to show this i dont feel this issue has been resolved but i dont want to annoy you guys so i will let this go .. good work > 3. there is no visual indication btw a podcast that is downloaded and already > listened and a podcast is not marked as new and not downloaded. A user must > right click a podcast to know the difference based on context menu that shows > up There should be a little blue arrow on the icon regardless of the status of an episode (new or not). It might be a bit to small to see. It's visible on my screen but I have a pretty low DPI. I've already increased the icon size to 24 pxls. Can you confirm there is something there at least? Use the magnifier kwin effect if you have to. > > 4. No visual indication of new podcasts on the top level icon > I'm working on this. its a blue arrow? ..smile.. i though i was a blue dot. yes, i can see the blue arrow on podcasts that are already downloaded but its too hard to see, especially from a distance. The fact that its is bluish on the bluish back ground of the half circle also makes in harder to see. OK, it's a visibility problem then, not an error in the code. I've asked Nuno the oxygen icon dude to create a new set of icons specifically for better contrast. And in v2.2.0-501-g00c390d I just committed status indication for the podcast channels using the same yellow star as new episodes. just updated to 00c390d the yellow arrow on the bluish background is easier to see on the top level podcast icon and it goes away when there are no new podcast ..this works i noticed and i might as well report it here ..the podcast icon changes to listened to icon when its clicked to be played on the playlist but it doesnt if a podcast is already on the playlist and its played when its turn is up. The icon changes when the podcast is the last on the list. I noticed this last time i updated and it is still on the version i mentioned above Could you please create a new report for this latest issue. We can't keep adding to this one forever. And it will slip from my buglist and not be fixed before the next release. Thanks you. |
