Firstly, I love amarok. It does so many things nicely. I was stoked when I found device integration that work easily with my $20 mp3 player. I was overjoyed when I found it's excellent podcast support.

I use amarok to automatically download new podcasts and add them to my device transfer queue. It's freakin' great. However, I discovered that I was running low on disk space, so I had to delete a whole lot of old podcasts. I then found the excellent "limit number of stored episodes" feature and was happy.

However, I found when I next synchronised my device that a lot of transfer failures happened. I was a bit behind in my listening, and a whole bunch of podcasts from the transfer queue had already been deleted by the "limit stored episodes" feature.

Does anyone know how I can stop amarok from deleting podcasts that are still in the media device transfer queue?
