• importing media files is only allowed from a directory with name containing "Podcini-MediaFiles"
• if you have imported some media files exported from 5.5.4 using version 6.0.10, these files are junk. You can opt for clearing storage or re-installing version 6, or you can ignore them for now as I plan to provide media file management functionality in the near future.

6.0.11

5.5.5

• this is an extra minor release for better migration to Podcini 6
• fixed issue (in 5.5.4) of terminating pre-maturely when exporting a large set of media files

6.0.10

• importing media files is restricted to directory with name containing "Podcini-MediaFiles"
• importing preferences is restricted directory with name containing "Podcini-Prefs"

One more thing to do to make this work well. Wait a bit.
