Well it happens here on "plain vanilla" 1.2.1. Same with earlier versions.
First time the recordings menu always is scanned (4 to 8 secs to be
displayed), later it displayes within 1 or 2 secs. With a timer-started
recording sometimes only a very few entries are displayed. With time shift
everything is ok, the recordings show correctly in the menu. Anyone else has
the same problem? (Itīs not a big prob for me, I can live with it, just
wonder why it happens...)
