First sync zero #55

Closed zouhair closed 8 years ago

zouhair commented 8 years ago

It seem that "firstsync = 0" doesn't work, it would be nice to have the first sync download nothing.

As I am up to date with my podcasts I don't see the need to download them once more.

Thanks for this nice piece of software.

Hello, one way of doing what you want is greg edit -d <today's date in the format YYYY-MM-DD> nameoffeed.

I agree that this is somewhat cumbersome. One easy modification I was thinking of is introducing a now keyword so that one could do greg edit -d now nameoffeed.

Thanks

Or maybe just a "firstsync = 0" option to not download anything at first sync.

manolomartinez commented 8 years ago

Yeah, conceptually I think --downloadfrom is a better fit, but I'll see if I can fix firstsync so that it does the obvious thing for zero.

manolomartinez commented 8 years ago

So, now you can do greg edit -d now yourfeed and this will move your feed to the current time without downloading anything.

Getting firstsync = 0 to behave in the way you expected is rather more difficult than I have anticipated. I might get to it, but not now. Please let me know if the new "now" keyword behaves as expected.

Thanks, could you please update the pip version so I can try it?

manolomartinez commented 8 years ago

Done. Note that, if you wish, you can install directly from the repo by using pip install --user --upgrade git+https://github.com/manolomartinez/greg.

Thanks a lot, yes greg edit -d now yourfeed works great.

Now you just need to add it as an example in your README.md

manolomartinez commented 8 years ago

Maybe check the README?
