Gpodder creates its config dir as gPodder directly under $HOME. This is non-
standard and created unnecessary visible content to user's home directory.

Should be a hidden ".gPodder" or under the ~/.config/

Hi Harri,

Thank you for reporting this.  I will forward it upstream.  I expect
that it might take a bit to get resolved.  Currently there isn't a
mechanism in the UI to set a preference for the gPodder/Downloads
directory, which I believe we want to be visible to the user and not
buried under .config/.

Cheers,
tony
