Right, the listing of people who have watched a show *can* be orthogonal to auto-delete. It can server simply as a convenience feature for those of us who like to delete a program once we're done with it. It *could* be used in a metric for auto-deletion as well, eventually, though. Additionally, I would note that I am not advocating for a way to 'undelete' things or for having a 'recycle bin', although I can see why people might like those. andy _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
