I possibly missed the discussion about that item.
I consider the implicit removal of dot-files problematic and suboptimal.
Until vdr 1.7.29 it was possible to create mount-points and execute a
"touch <mount-point>/.nodelete" to ensure, the vdr will not delete that mount-
point.
From OSD-menu then mounting of external storage was possible.
It is of cause stil possible, as scripts could create directories, but that
may cause problems with access-permissions.
Creating an empty file without leading dot will prohibit the removal too, but I
think, the directory will then appear in the recording menu, which is not the
case, with just a dotfile in.
The recording menu only displays directories that contain actual
recordings (or subdirectories with recordings). A plain file doesn't
trigger displaying a directory.
