* player -- I don't think that Panucci is useful without the --queue parameter (although that could, in theory, be fixed in Panucci by making --queue the default behavior). I like to load up on podcasts at home and listen to multiple in the car, not listen to just one at a time.

IMHO, these are candidates for being out of the advanced dialog and into the main dialog.
I don't know if I have the time to fiddle with the preferences dialog. You can already move the downloads folder between different memory cards and gPodder will take care of updating that setting the next time you start it (it will look for a "gpodder" folder in the root of the memory cards) - this is also helpful when you put your internal card into the external slot on the N800

I plan on bringing the "Advanced" button back in the next release, though.

My question is this -- my podcasts are still all there on my external memory card. Is there a simple way to get them back into gPodder?
Please report a bug for that, yes. my.gpodder.org will get some more features in the upcoming months...
