GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 503481
no description column for podcasts
Last modified: 2008-09-25 21:36:05 UTC
The only thing that currently prevents me from using Banshee as a podcast aggregator instead of Gpodder is the lack of a Description column when listing the files in a podcast channel. There are only a Title and a Date columns (the Podcast column is somewhat redundant with the info presented in the area above). See how Gpodder does it: http://gpodder.berlios.de/releases/0.9.4/gpodder-0.9.4-big.png http://gpodder.berlios.de/releases/0.9.1/gpodder-0.9.1-main_window.png http://gpodder.berlios.de/releases/0.9.0/gpodder-0.9.0-new.png I am aware that providing this info may not be consistent with other types of media (MP3 files, CDs) which may lack this attribute. Still, it's very useful to have this info when looking at a channel. I would argue that it is a crucial feature in any modern podcast reader. Other information:
This would be cool, at least seeing the description as a tooltip or right-clicking or as comment in the track editor (because some descriptions can be really long).
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
