Easy way for PodTrapper to scan the SD card for podcasts?

[bill724]

For a variety of reasons, I've been switching back and forth between two BlackBerry devices every couple days. Both have PodTrapper (of course). And I switch the same micro SD card back and forth with the podcast storage. Here's my question:

Is there a way I can tell PodTrapper to look on the SD card to see if the episodes it thinks it should download are already on the card? Or have already been downloaded? Is there some setting file somewhere I can restore each time I switch to make this process more seamless? Otherwise I have to do more work to manage the list.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!!

Hi Bill,

You may be able to get this to work if you perform a restore the first time you launch PodTrapper when switching. See this page for details:

Restoring from the SD card should bring the one you're switching to up to the state of the one you're switching from. Let me know how it goes.

Interesting. I'll give it a try the next time I switch.

Marcus,

Thanks again for your product and your support. There may have been an easier way, but before I switched devices I exited PodTrapper (so it saved all the backup stuff), loaded up BB DTM and backed up the old device. Then I started the new device, connected it to BB DTM, did an advanced restore, picked the PodTrapper settings from the old backup I just created, and there everything was. There may be a way to do that with fewer steps, but it worked and it wasn't too rough. And now I don't need to remember whether I've already heard a given podcast or wait while it downloads a second time.

Thanks! Still my favorite podcast catcher/player, even though the iPhone has gotten better in the latest release. I still tell everyone to buy PodTrapper and it's the second application I install every time I get a new BlackBerry (right after gmail). Next I need to try your new reminder app...but I keep forgetting.

- Bill.

Thanks! I love writing them, so it's great that people are enjoying them too.

Just wanted to confirm that this process works. I've got the routine down now and every time I switch, it's just a couple extra steps and all of my podcasts are there, right where I left off. Thanks!
