That's still an understatement!
:) Yeah. I just wanted to try and list all the options. Actually,
that isn't all of them. I was also considering having separate
preference sets for different users. That way the kids could set
their own preferences and the machine could pick what to record (they
each get 100 "Dollars" to spend on ranking programs). Unfortunately,
I think tactical voting would become rife and the fights would continue.
So, here is what I would do:
Separate pre/post-roll and soft time adjustments. Each show gets
gets four settings: hard and soft, pre and post time adjustments.
There are also global defaults that get used as initial values for
these four settings for new shows. There are also the following
global settings:
1a) Reschedule higher priorities (boolean), or
1b) Later showing priority delta (integer)
2) Reschedule soft time adjustments (boolean)
3) Soft end time adjustment priority delta (integer)
4) Propagate soft time adjustments (boolean)

Great. When can we expect your patch? :)
I'm working on it - we'll see how my spare time holds out. Prefs UI
is unlikely to be done by me.
I'm only partly joking since I would dearly love to see how someone
else would approach the scheduling task and come up with working code.
We'll see what I come up with. I hope it isn't too different from
what is there...
Be well,
Will :-}
