The General Settings (Main Screen -> *Menu* Settings -> General Settings) screen allows you to change some PodTrapper settings that don't fit into specific categories.
Contents |
Run when blackberry starts
Currently this option doesn't affect PodTrapper's behavior, but at some point in the future this will allow PodTrapper to run on start.
Default sort
This affects how episodes are sorted by default when viewing a podcast. This can also be temporarily overridden when viewing a specific podcast via the menu.
Default view
This defines what episodes are shown by default when viewing a list of episodes in a podcast.
- DLed refers to downloaded episodes
- UnDLed refers to episodes not downloaded
- Deleted refers to deleted episodes
Show files in Media Player
By default PodTrapper attempts to hide its files from the media player. For me there's nothing more annoying than shuffling songs, being in the middle of a playlist, and having a podcast get thrown in the mix. Setting this to 'Yes' allows the media player to see PodTrapper files. Note: It's not currently possible for PodTrapper to specify meta data in the files such as Artist, Title, etc. Therefore whatever shows up in media player is up to the publisher of your podcast, which may or may not be accurate or useful.
Play/Pause Icon Switches to PT
This controls whether the key configured to play/pause in the Keyboard Settings brings PodTrapper to the foreground if it is in the background (note it cannot unlock the device).
Delete episodes after listened
To help you keep your media card from filling up, this setting tells PodTrapper to automatically delete episodes after you're done listening to them.
Disable thumbnails
Thumbnails are pretty, but they consume a lot of the precious little resources available on your phone. If you're experiencing a lot of hourglassing this is probably why (assuming you have more than a handful of podcasts). Disabling thumbnails can noticeably improve your berry's health.
Auto sort playlist
Each podcast, via the Edit Podcast Screen has the ability to automatically add its episodes to your playlist (see the Playlist Screen help). This option determines whether your playlist should be resorted according to the settings selected when you last used the 'Add Episodes' menu item on the Playlist Screen after every item is added. This will also apply to episodes you manually add to the playlist via menu items.
