I like it so much that I went and did it. Now all the favorite information is
held in a table-menu, and you select the item to change it. I also took a
moment
to expand out the days of the week (Mon, Tue, Wed are now Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday) but perhaps this could be changed later to conform to some sort of
locale profile (maybe someone likes abbreviated days of the week). I wasn't
sure
if there was a way to do a tick-mark for options, so I was a little more
verbose
with the duplicate prevention and episode filter options. Looks fine to me,
though.
I haven't changed the screen layout yet because I got an interesting idea I
wanted to play with: Now that all the information for the favorite is displayed
on the bottom half of the screen, what if the top half could be an IMDB
information panel about the favorite, similar to the recording manager's info
display for recorded shows? A picture of the show, the title of the show,
recording information (<day>s at <time> on <channel>) as the subtitle and the
description. Might be classy... but also could be unnecessary. I think I'll
still mess with it though.
Regardless, I'll sync with SVN and submit a patch for this tomorrow.
