Jon,

I use dropbox and upload images that way. It uploads to the folder I specify and then I can use automator on the mac or whatever to rename.

Dumb question: when you use Dropbox to store your photos, do they hang around taking up memory on your phone/every device you have Dropbox on?

I use dropbox and upload images that way.

I don't want to have to go through dropbox. I want to be able to connect the iPhone to my PC (FYI: not a Mac), and have the filenames be something other than IMG_XXXX.JPG.

I may try Photo Manager Pro, since it is well reviewed and has some other photo organizing features that I would find handy. Anyone else use this?

t,

No. dropbox only keeps the files that you have designated you want offline access to. You have to star them to have offline access to them.

Jon,

okay, I understand. I do not connect my phone to my computer very often, so the dropbox solution works well for me.

Does anyone use Vuze? I'm trying to trigger some archival downloads using pattern recognition on RSS feeds, and I can't work out if my site's feed is wonky or not--I have the reqex working fine--it's getting the right and only the right entries, but nothing is recording. The first one I tried was RSSFeedScanner and it seemed to be looking for another layer in the feed between filename and torrent name, or something. So I switched to [bad tag ate post]ScaneRss which seems better, lots of finds, but still no recording.

What actually gets the torrents or magnets in and starts downloading???

If you had one request of TiVo, what would it be?

I think mine would probably be "Wanna get manual?" A list of shows that lost the conflict--not like the Menu+2 and scroll up,--simpler. Just tell me that I'm not getting Scandal this week and that episode doesn't come up again in this version of the programme. Or, that Suits is going to be clipped, but 3 hours later, it airs again unclipped, so I can move the recording.

However, I do think being able to say "take later showings within x days of initial airing instead of a clipped showing right away" or "don't skip the only episode of a lower rated show to catch one of multiple airings of a higher rated show. Some sort of "get it eventually (later but not mad later)" setting. I'd implement for a few things, especially when the cable channels get flooded with 3-5 run showings and then slink off into the night.

Yeah that would be great. My current inattentive workaround is to schedule the shows that repeat more lower on the priority list even if it's a lie.

Thanks, le nubian! I got that wrong in my head for no apparent reason and then couldn't correct without buffista sanction.

Eta: I don't have official Tivo anymore, but I do like Liese and make "doesn't have multiple showings" -> higher priority. Why do so many shows I like have to run over by 1 or 2 minutes, anyway?

Because networks are douches and they know you're timeshifting. Even though most DVRs are now clipping, as far as I know, they seem to want to continue to punish the viewer, as opposed to the DVR companies who would theoretically have suffered if shows didn't record.

Now everyone has a problem, because if you're watching live you still miss stuff changing channels.

I hate lying to computers.

Computers should be like lawyers and therapists, you can tell them the worst and they still are supposed to help.

I would love a DVR with the capability of figuring out the best way to get all of the shows I want.

Given the things our fucking phones can do....is it really that challenging? The volume of input is huge--let's say 21 days x 48 half hours x 400 channels--that's a big number to juggle, but when you restrict it to the number of showings of the items in someone's season pass...come on!

I wonder if any of the open source solutions do that. I'd be kind of disappointed if personal ingenuity hasn't solved something like that. Fuck Siri--this is useful, and it's important. More important than where I can get soup.
