Add "Favorite" filter/toggle in the Downloads screen

Feature request

I recently switched to AntennaPod from Podcast Addict. I am really enjoying the minimalist design and the intuitive “swipe to manage” workflow. Thank you very much :slightly_smiling_face:

While the app is excellent, I miss a specific archival workflow I had in my previous app: keeping “Favorite” episodes permanently while auto-deleting others after a certain period. I understand that a “Delete after X days” feature was proposed in 2022 but hasn’t been implemented.

As a functional alternative, I would like to request: A “Favorite” (☆) filter/toggle in the [Downloads] pane.

Use Case: Currently, using the [Downloads] pane as a temporary archive is difficult because all episodes are mixed together. While I can use the [Episodes] pane with a “Downloaded + Not-Favorite” filter, resetting the filter each time is a hassle.

Adding a simple toggle (Show All / Favorites Only / Non-Favorites) in the Downloads screen would allow users to:

  1. Keep “Favorite” episodes safe and visible in their local storage.

  2. Mass-delete non-favorites in one action without accidentally removing precious episodes.

This small addition would significantly improve the manual cleanup process for users who manage their storage locally.
