I upgraded Catch to 2.0 [717] on Mac OSX Mojave 10.14.6. Everything was fine, Catch downloaded all my ShowRSS feed, and was behaving as expected. I downloaded each show, and then deleted the file from the folder that Catch saves to. Then I noticed that every time Catch runs, it downloads the shows all over again. I tested Catch, I deleted one show that I know I have downloaded before, and then ran the "Check Now" for Catch and it re-downloaded the already seen show.

I searched GitHub and found this command: "defaults delete org.giorgiocalderolla.Catch history" and ran it, it didn't do what I expected, so I quit and restarted Catch, and it still didn't do what was expected. I don't know if it matters or not.

I thought then I would use Finder's labels to indicate which shows I had downloaded, but then Catch re-downloaded the files on top of the same ones the next time it refreshed the ShowRSS feed, and blew away all my labels.

So I suppose I will go back to a spreadsheet of shows that I have already downloaded and just leave Catch to fill up the folder in which it downloads webloc files. I don't know what happened from the version before, but now it seems less useful.

Thanks...

Okay, an update. Apparently, there was a lot wrong with my installation of Catch! I quit the application, then used find to seek out all the files and folders in ~/Library with "sudo find ~/Library -iname *giorgiocalderolla* -delete -print. It got the files, but not the Container, which I eliminated with cd /Containers; rm -rf com.giorgiocalderolla.Catch.CatchFeedHelper/

I re-ran Catch and immediately Transmission started up, offered to download all my ShowRSS items, and the entire "webloc files keep on being downloaded problem" just disappeared.

So, nevermind. I don't know what fixed it, but deleting those files in ~/Library did the trick! WOW! I never knew Catch actually did all this, so I kind of "fell downstairs into happiness" Hooray!

Thanks!
