I thought about this some time ago, because I had a hard time spotting
the correct popup menu item, because the title indeed adds a lot of
noise. When I initially did this, I thought it was a good idea, but I
see your point now. I would like to keep the multiple selection actions
(i.e. "transfer 2 selected episodes to iPod") but I think I can make it
so that we get the following translatable strings:
"Transfer this episode to %s" (i.e. iPod)
"Transfer %d episodes to %s" (i.e. 4, iPod)
"Play this episode" (or simply: "Play"?)
"Play %d selected episodes" (i.e. 2)
"Mark this episode as played"
"Mark %d selected episodes as played" (i.e. 5)
Would this work? What do you think?
Thanks,
Thomas
