I really cannot commit the team for that now : / sorry

Hi, Marcelo!

I'm not sure what you mean by the "save position for podcast." There is Pause. If I use Pause and I don't close Canola, I can come back to where I was. But if I close Canola, let alone turn off the tablet, the podcast starts from the beginning. Is there some way other than just Pause that saves the position? I don't see it in the manual.

I can understand bookmarks not being very high priority, but a Save-Position-and-Resume function, which works even if the tablet has been turned off, and can work for multiple files, seems pretty close to indispensable. (When I say "can work for multiple files," what I mean is that I ought to be able to listen to Podcast A for 5 minutes, then Podcast B for 5 minutes, then Podcast C or YouTube video D, and still be able to go back to A or B and not have to start from the beginning.)

Also, in the Podcast listings, can Info be made to work even for a Podcast that is not currently playing or even downloaded? Most my podcasts have a Title and then an Info line. On the Canola screen that lists a feed's podcasts, it will show the beginning of that Info line. So even before being downloaded, Canola has already acquired all the information in that Info line, it just isn't displaying all of it. It does display all of it when a podcast is playing and you click Info in the menu. It would be very useful if you could click Info in the menu and get the entirety of the Info for a Podcast that is selected in the list though not yet downloaded.
