Ah, I see. The Elchi-Patch removes the date and time display, and then
there is only an empty line in the menu (because the '_' is actually
displayed as a blank), right? Well, I would say if the Elchi patch messes
up things here, it's that patch's responsibility to provide some fake name
for the Recordings menu in such cases. I wouldn't want to see a fake
name in my recordings list (where I do have date and time displayed).
