Here's a little bash script to help you backup before testing: config=~/.config/gpodder/gpodder.conf downloads=$( grep download_dir $config | sed 's/download_dir \?= \?\(.*\)/\1/' ) config=$( dirname "$config" ) cp -rv "$config" "$config".bak cp -rv "$downloads" "$downloads".bak Thank you Justin and Thomas for your hard work, nick _______________________________________________ gpodder-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/gpodder-devel
