Hey, hey, guys, get a grip!
Let's not make this "rocket science" ;-)
The question at hand is whether the *number* used in the LSTR and LSTT
command listings to identify a particular recording or timer, respectively,
shall always start at 1 and count up, and be renumbered whenever an item
is newly created ot deleted. Or whether that number shall simply count up
and never be renumbered (as long as this instance of VDR lives).
Anything beyond this is against the KISS principle ;-)
