Version 0.12v0.12
- reworked layout - added possibility to set sorting mode for each directory - if you use the PIN-plugin, ExtRecMenu works together with it to protect recordings - fixed a very annoying bug which prevent renaming and moving recordings which have special chars in their names if VDR is compiled with VFAT=1 or startet with the option --vfat

Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This plugin provides a recordings menu enhanced with the possibility to
rename or move recordings and directories. The display of recording date, time
-and length is configurable. The plugin also handles archive dvd's of VDR
-recordings (as known from the DVDArchive-patch for VDR).
+and length is configurable. Sorting by name or date is selectable for each
+directory. If you use the PIN-plugin, the replay and editing of recordings is
+protected. The plugin also handles archive dvds of VDR recordings (as known
+from the DVDArchive-patch for VDR). This plugin extends VDR's '-r'-option with
+messages for deleting, moving and renaming a recording.

+Installation
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Installation of the plugin itselfs is like any other plugin installation. Check
+the Makefile if you use the PIN-plugin. You have to place the script
+'dvdarchive.sh' from the scripts/-directory within your $PATH (maybe adjust the
+permissions) for the DVDArchive-patch functionality. See the top of
+'dvdarchive.sh' for the adjustments you maybe have to take.

+Check the options at the setup menu of the plugin. They are self-explaining.
+
+There is a patch for VDR in contrib/ for replacing VDR's recordings menu with
+this plugin. You have to set the corresponding option at the setup menu of the
+plugin!
+
+There ist a patched TTF-Font for Enigma containing the dvd and alternative new
+symbols. See this post at vdr-portal.de:

Sort recordings

-There are four options for sorting at the setup menu:
-Sort recordings by:

-- alphabet for all directories
-- date for all directories
-Flexible means, if the directory name ends with "-",".","$" or "Ş", the
