Description Florin Andrei 2007-12-13 19:56:58 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/0.9.0/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.

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.
