[vdr] too many Steps to stop active TIMER ?

[Alexander Damhuis <ad@phonedation.de>]

Hello Klaus,
Hello all other Coders,

some people and me were wondering, why there are several steps necessary to 
remove a timer recording when it is running.

Sometimes it happens, that I set up a timer and then find out I do not want to 
record it - the reasons for this may vary (I am watching it and do not need a 
recording / I made a mistake in programming / my PC was down and the 
recording starts in the middle of the movie / etc etc).

So, this is what I need to do at the momen to stop recording (and delete the 
file):

- Enter TIMERS Menu
- Deactivate Entry
- Leave TIMERS Menu (doesn't matter if using BACK or MENU)

- Reenter TIMERS Menu
- Delete Timer entry

(and then Enter Recordings Menu and delete the Entry there to remove file)

Wouldn't it be easier just to enter the TIMERS menu and hit delete, if the 
recording is running VDR could ask "TIMER is active and recording - should 
Entry really be deleted and recording be stopped?" If press OK then it should 
be done so, otherwise I can use BACK to be on the safe side.

Would be interesting, if there is a reason for using so many steps to stop an 
active timer-initiated recording.

Best Regards,
Alex
