Re: [Jpodder-develop] jPodder Bug Report - v1.1RC1

[Dave M <Da...@Mi...>]

I finally got around to trying RC2 (on Windows-ME with Sun Java V1.5.0 
build 1.5.0_02-b09). Here are the problems I have found:

- On the feeds tab, when I scroll through the subscribed feed list, it 
slowly uses up all of my windows GDI resources and eventually crashes 
(locks up windows). It looks like some sort of resource leak. As I scroll 
through the feeds maybe something is being allocated and not de-allocated. 
It seems to be related to the number of feeds that I select. If I use page 
down to scroll it uses up the GDI resources slowly. If I use the down arrow 
(selecting each feed as I scroll) I use up the GDI resources very quickly.

- "View-Settings-Language" causes jPodder to crash (lock up).

- On the feeds tab, if I click the button above the feeds column to sort 
the feeds, then scroll down and remove a feed, the feeds become unsorted. 
Clicking the feeds button will not re-sort the feeds.

- V1.1-RC2 will not import feeds from V0.90. I manually copied all of my 
feeds so this is no longer an issue for me. I tested it with feeds imported 
from V1.0 and it seems to work. Although the feeds list that I was using in 
v1.0 was rather small.

- Exporting and importing feeds from an OPML file looses everything except 
the title and the URL (such as the "Stored in" folder and the "Download 
Limit" number).

- If I import from an OPML file and there are duplicate titles in the OPML 
file, it crashes. I think it may also crash if you use duplicate titles 
when you do "feeds-addfeed".

- If I select multiple feeds to delete, it makes me click OK for each feed. 
The dialog box should have a "yes to all" button.

- The download tab has a typo in the status column. "pauzed" should be 
spelled "paused".

- The "Help-About" dialog shows RC1 even though I downloaded and installed RC2

- The jPodder icon stays in the windows system tray even after jPodder is 
closed.

- There is still a problem with the installer created shortcut having the 
wrong path to javaw.exe.

All in all I really like the new GUI. It is a major improvement. Much 
cleaner and much faster.

I do have a suggestion. It would be nice if I could run jPodder from the 
console, without the GUI, and have it just download the enclosures and then 
exit when it is done. Maybe a "-download" command line option? Maybe have 
it log each completed file to the console as it is done downloading that 
file? That way I could schedule it to run and have it use a minimal amount 
of resources while it is running.

Thank you for all of the hard work you have put into jPodder.

Thanks again,
Dave
