That's true. Still, there should be some visual indicator on how the feed update is progressing. On the other hand, we are in the progress of integrating mygpo-feedservice at some point in the future, which should make the feed parsing/downloading faster and less bandwidth-hungry, maybe eliminating the need for a progress bar (we could simply show the update progress directly in the podcast list by showing e.g. an overlay icon of some sort). > However, I transfer all the new podcasts to my device regularly, one > action that can't be automatized. So I'd even go for a «transfer all > podcasts» button, I believe it's more important. There's Ctrl+S (think "sync") for that, and it should be more efficient. > Hiding the toolbar is not a problem, because the toolbar is shown by > default.

I'm not totally happy with the toolbar's contents, too, e.g. the "Quit" button is kind of unnecessary when you have windowmanager controls to do the same (+ Ctrl+W/Ctrl+Q as shorcut). > You definitely have your point, I know there's no single solution and > that subjectivity takes an important role here.

I'm thankful for you input :) We focus on a clean and usable interface, so any improvements that we could do there are well appreciated!
