http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/30464/ Am I on episode 5 or 10. Have I listened to this podcast already, seeing as how I don't always listen to them in order? I know I've listened to 35 out of 40, so how do I find the last five.

For example, I don't know, like a new hidden file in media folders, and next put a different symbol when is opened, opened more of two times, ten times...]]> Thu, 03 Jan 2013 23:04:37 +0000
The solution is to right click the file/group of files to bring up the context menu as you would to copy or paste. From that menu you then manually change the status of the files.

That way if I copy 30 files over onto my mp3 player, they are already selected, so it wont be any more effort to then right click and mark them as used

I will edit my first post to make that more clear. ]]> Fri, 04 Jan 2013 13:58:51 +0000
Maybe a sub menu with each status.
and a bottom button to add/remove new lables.]]> Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:53:05 +0000 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 01:33:40 +0000
See the inotifywait command, in the inotify-tools package.
Use inotify to spot new downloads that match the filetype you want to track, and create a link to them in an 'unread' directory.

Use inotify to spot when a file in the 'unread' directory is read or copied, delete the link, and create a new link in the 'read' directory.]]> Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:48:54 +0000
It's great news though that the functionality is already in place, because asumidly that means that it wont be that difficult to implament a GUI solution.

I will take another swing at it, but would still love to see a simple, intuative solution for a non technical user.

I would also love to hear other ideas, as it seems that Ubuntu (and other OS's) are moving in a more consumer-media centered direction, and the first to streamline those processors could start attracting attention.

Currently I have to create a folder called old in every subdirectory, then transfer all the files once I've used them- its a cumbersome system that also disrupts the multimedia playlists. ]]> Sat, 02 Feb 2013 09:30:21 +0000
