[Pjbexploder-announce] pjbExploder 1.0.45 PRE-RELEASE (#2)

[Michael H. <mi...@ho...>]

I have a pre-release available now for maintaining 'podcasts' on your
PJB.  This is an update of the first podcast pre-release, it fixes
some bugs and add some options to control your podcasts.

To use this feature, there are two new menu items under 'Tools'.

Selecting 'Edit Podcasts...' lets you edit the podcasts that
pjbExploder will check.

Selecting 'Update Podcasts...'  will check for additions and deletions
to your podcasts, updating the PJB as required.

There are also 4 new options, available under "Tools / Options".

'Automatically Sync PJB' will run the same code as 'Tools/Sync PJB..'
as soon as pjbExploder connects to the PJB.

'Automatically update Podcasts' will run the same code as
'Tools/Update Podcasts...' as soon as pjbExploder connects to the PJB.

'Max items per Channel' and 'Limit item age' control how many items
from a Podcast channel are downloaded to the PJB.  I hope the names
are self explanatory.

pjbExploder now handles PJB disconnects properly.  So, you *could*
(for example) leave pjbExploder running (even minimized!) all the
time. When you connect a PJB to the system, if the 'Automatically Sync
PJB' option is set, you PJB will be updated automatically.  When it's
complete, just disconnect.  However, be *sure* the process has
completed, since the Compaq provided driver will crash your computer
if you disconnect the PJB while it is transferring data.

If you use the podcast features, I welcome feedback!  Please tell me
what does (and doesn't) work for you, or what would improve it.
