Hi, 
I have noticed that Episodes tab is hidden by default. 
However it allows performing operations like Retract, Publish, Remove from Hard 
drive operations on video files uploaded to Matterhorn.

But when I do that, the list of "finished recordings" of course grows.
Well, I wanted to:
 (1) upload a video file
 (2) publish it
 (3) perform segmentation
 (4) retract the video from Media Module
 (5) re-publish it (when it's segmentated).

It all works, but of course in finished recordings I have following items:
 1. My Recording - Finished   (upload)
 2. My Recording - Finished   (publish)
 3. My Recording - Finished   (segmentation)
 4. My Recording - Finished   (retract)
 5. My Recording - Finished   (publish)

Of course because each entry in "Recordings" stands for one successfully 
finished set of operations (Workflow) performed on the recording. 

So.... Actual list of recordings uploaded to the server is on Episodes tab.

I also know that:
1. Upcoming workflow reflect the scheduler
2. Capturing workflow... reflect something between scheduler and already 
ingested video.
3. Finished /On Hold / Failed ... reflect the results of workflow.

So... at some point I am confused what should be where. 



It all looks great under a simple assumption, that only one workflow will  be 
performed on the uploaded video.  Is this an important or obsolete assumption? 

In my case, I have following (custom) workflows: 
upload, - just upload a video file to server
upload & publish,  -- upload the file and automatically publish it in MG
publish,  -- publish file that is already uploaded
retract -- retract (hide) the file from where it was distributed (MG)


So....
shouldn't be the Recordings tab turned into "Operation log" and "Episodes" tab 
enabled by default, "schedule a recording", "upload" moved into "Episodes"... 
and so on. Upcoming & Capturing also moved somewhere else...
did somebody thought about redesigning it ?
