With gPodder 3.3.0 (and also 3.4.0) in Ubuntu (at least 12.10 and 13.04), you can't change the environment variables for gPodder Home and for the download directory through Preferences > Edit config (see bug 1718). The settings and database files will always be stored in $GPODDER_HOME. If $GPODDER_HOME is not set, it defaults to ~/gPodder/. MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan (N9): /home/user/MyDocs/gPodder/Downloads/ Windows: Selected via a dialog on first start (use the start menu item "gPodder (set download folder)" to change it) Linux/FreeBSD/Mac OS X: ~/gPodder/Downloads/ Here are the default download folder locations: There are various ways of setting these variables, depending on your distro/operating system and on the version of gPodder you are using. GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR: Downloads will be saved directly in the folder you specify (which does not have to be in the gPodder Home folder) GPODDER_HOME: Downloads will be saved in the folder "Downloads" inside the new Home folder you set To change the download directory or gPodder Home, you can set one (or both) of these two environment variables: (Edit: the podcasts might actually be of some interest to browse so they are at if so inclined)Ĭhanging the downloads folder location and the gPodder Home folder Perhaps there are other podcast applications I should consider, although this is for simple local radio podcast offerings, so it's nothing fancy required. Is anyone able to point me where I should be looking and if a simple edit as above is safe enough to do (as root perhaps)? I assume it's editing a path in a text file somewhere though, with luck.

I'm not sure if I should blunder in or where to look in MX-15b2 and if making such changes is OK, to direct gpodder to save in a folder on my data partition. Reading below I see Linux may vary in how and where the default location for gpodder (3.8.1 via Synaptic) downloads is specified.
