I would prefer that unseen records gets the normal prio.
If i start viewing the priority boost must be higher (and the hold time +1) 
If i have seen it completly (touching the end) and NOT rewound 
the priority should be set lower (and the hold time -1).
If i have rewound to the first 2 minutes, the prio and hold time is normal.
(Maybe prio slightly reduced)

ACK.

Or simply a renaming option?

Or a "fast cut"-feature that the recording is not really copied
but only pointers are used to skip while viewing or burning onto DVD?

Install "undelete" and press simply "delete" would do that, or?

Too it would be usefull to change the priority/holftime 
of already recordings afterwards.
