GBPVR is a great program, but I seem to have issues with available free disk space. To help with that, it would be nice if GBPVR was aware of how much disk space you had left and warned you if there was not enough space left for upcoming recordings. This could be done on the main screen, where it tells you the next scheduled recording. GBPVR could warn in the event that it was estimated that there was not enough disk space left. It could also be done when you schedule a new recording, based an estimate of the disk space needed for the recording, the currently available free disk space, and a determination made if there would be enough space available if all the recordings scheduled before it are completed. The use of the warnings could be made optional in the config.
Another really useful feature I think would be to allow you to specify a list of additional locations on other disks at which recordings should be stored if the previous location has no room left. This would allow one, for example, to seamlessly use 2 hard drives to store recordings using the available space on each. Otherwise, to expand capacity one needs to buy a bigger hard disk, rather than just adding an additional hard disk.
