What's so important about that > information, anyway? It's of no use of VDR "itself" but like the title/subitle/description (which are equaly pointless from a purely technical view. Purely technical you only need channel, time & duration, see for e.g. the good old VCR. It only needed the channel, time & duration) it can be vital for the user if s/he needs to find out the culprit who programmed a timer. I had the same question for Master-Timer years ago, because of that when Master-Timer programs a timer it also prints out which "torecord"-block (beginning on what line) was responsible for a specific timer. Then you realize that everyhing is OK, or you tune the "torecord"-block, "done" it or create a blacklist entry to get rid of the timer. So there actually is a reason for the User to see what is recorded in the AUX-field. (And to put "meaningful"-data into the AUX-field. I'm thinking about putting some more into the AUX-field, like the meantioned block-name so that you don't have to look it up elswhere. But i haven't do that in the past because i didn't want to clutter the Summary with too much data.) Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
