It isn't a problem to change the last directory (where the
priority and the lifetime is stored. The problem is to
change the name, which is stored one dir-level higher
(rename does not work, at least it seams to me).
Changing prior and Lifetime does already work.

One other problem is to change all(!) names on other
volumes!
vdr uses links to link them. If you change the name of the
recording under /video you also have to change the name on
the other /videoX (if there are some). And that's my
problem.

I do have a patch against vdr-1.1.33-MEGA for such a
dialog.
Unfortunatly i am beginning a job an monday, so I da not
have the time to implement these thing in days.
If someone is interested I can send him my sources to work
with.
