Bring Back the refresh button

[wojtek]

I came here from Further home screen improvements - #26 by Listener and I have exactly the same issue:

@wchouser3

I disabled the homepage in the settings. It’s not of much use to me. I want to get straight to my list of shows. I would imagine I’m not alone in that.

+1000!

I still think the question “Can you explain why having a large queue inhibits the drag down to refresh option.” is valid. Can you provide some background?

I explained it here:

@wojtek

Maybe it’s a “me-problem” and my particular use-case: I mostly stick in “Queue” view and (especially now) I’m going through my backlog (about 40 items). I’m going from oldest to newest and because there is no “stop after current” I use reverse sorting so the oldest episodes are at the bottom hence I’m stuck at the bottom of the view… I could probably scroll up and do “pull to refresh” but that’s somewhat inconvenient.

In general I operate only in Queue view (first item in the sidebar, app open in Queue). I have a couple of podcasts with auto-download and those are priority to listen. If/when I’m done with them I add items from other podcasts. Sometimes I’m swamped with other stuff and can’t be up-to-date with those auto-podcasts and they accumulate.

And due to lack of stop-after-current I have reversed view (so the oldest episodes on the bottom) thus I’m mostly at the end of the list which makes pull-to-refresh utterly inconvenient.

The point of the change was to make space for new buttons

I don’t remember what was there before but I do remember update button being there. Now there is only search button which (for me, huge IMHO) is completely useless as I have absolutely never ever tapped on it or used search, like never ever
