So for several feeds I like to have the latest episodes downloaded at all times, but sometimes I don't keep up and I don't want my phone to have too many episodes saved on it. But other times I like to binge and catch up on the back catalog of what I've missed.
The settings I used for this was Auto Delete Policy: keep latest X (say 2). This was great because when they would pile up, I could just listen to the new ones, and then it would auto download the ones that I'd missed. The only problem is that now, whenever it deletes episodes (that I HAVE NOT listened to), it automatically marks them as done. So now 1. it doesn't auto download the ones I've missed and 2. I don't even know which ones I've missed because they're all marked done.
Did something change? Did I change something? Any help? Thanks so much! Sorry if this is a repeat but I couldn't find any answer though some quick searching.
tl;dr: I want un-listened episodes which are deleted using "Keep latest X" to remain marked "new"
No..nothing has changed, episodes are always marked done when they are deleted, your only option with keep latest X setting is to increase "X" from 1 or 2 to maybe 4 .
