It is resolved on my end, but there is an asterisk attached to that notion:
And this is exactly what I am experiencing: those episodes I have listened to since installing the update were deleted instantly when completed. Those episodes I have listened to previous to the update’s installation have to be deleted manually.
Apparently the deletion is being triggered by setting something like a label in the moment when an episode is completed - either immediately or with a 24 hour timestamp or manually, depending on the setting.
I have no idea,
- why there is no way to select all or multiple episodes of any given view and then to choose an action like delete or mark as played; this is a feature that has been missing in Overcast forever (bigger picture),
and
- why he did not just run an SQLite query like
SELECT * FROM whatever_tablename_is_being_used_in_Overcast WHERE status='completed' AND show_deletion_setting='when_completed'followed by the deletion of any file that is showing up as result of the query (cleaning up the mess of last week’s update) - done!
