NPVR promot file name for deletion is not the same as Highlighted file name?

Ok so don't keep me in suspense .... :-) are you saying it's a glitch in the new screens or human error on my part ?

I'm pretty sure they're telling you the error manifested in the fleshy area between the computer screen and the chair.

That said, it would be more clear if the video screen listed the file to be deleted by the same name as is shown on the screen; I can certainly see why the fleshy bit on the chair got confused by what it saw. The new metadata screens are a work-in-progress though, no doubt such things will be smoothed over in time.

+1 and not just for video library. The "Are you sure you want to delete this recording?" popup doesn't help when you have two recordings with the same metadata as I found last week after noticing I had forgotten to restart the recording service.

On pondering this delete confirmation popup, it seems it would be by far best if it were to show both the title from the meta-data AND the actual file name. This would not only make it easier to confirm exactly what it is you're deleting, but would also provide a handy reference when you simply want to know the filename associated with a given show title; you'd hit "Delete" to see the info, but then cancel.

I suppose some debate might ensue on the exact format:

Code:

"Are you sure you want to delete: Title20140602_21002200.ts
       (Show Title metadata)"
- or -
"Are you sure you want to delete: Show Title metadata
       (Title20140602_21002200.ts)"
-or-
"Are you sure you want to delete:
   Show Title metadata (Title20140602_21002200.ts)"

I think I like the second form, but it's not critical. Anyone think the filename part should include the full path as well?
