Think I might undo this change — lots of people hate it:
"Making Unplayed areas exclude played episodes; formerly, ‘unplayed’ really meant ‘not deleted’”
This has confused people since 1.0 because “Unplayed” could include played episodes if you didn't use auto-delete.
I decided to finally fix the problem by making the behavior fit the labels — but a better solution may be to revert to the previous behavior and considering changing the labels to be more descriptive.
The loss of the Archive list mode has also irritated people, but the new All mode is popular, and having all 4 there is confusing and leaves too little room for the text label. Maybe I got rid of the wrong one.
I always want either Unplayed/Current for current stuff, or All when I want a giant alphabetical list to find something. But Archive was good for occasional decluttering.
Maybe I should bring Archive back, but get rid of Active.
Current, Archive, All.
I think this works really well…
If you've ever wondered why so many podcast apps have HUGE settings screens full of little nitpicky toggles, take a look at my mentions.
Everyone wants a slightly different set of often-conflicting behaviors, and there are tons of edge cases to consider with every decision.
