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. 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.
+The EXTended RECordings MENU plugin provides additional functions to VDR's
+recordings menu:
+
+* renaming recordings and directories
+* moving recordings and directories, also between different filesystems
+* functionality of the DVDArchiv-patch (see below)
+* adjustable display of recording's length, date and size
+* directories are always shown on top of the list
+* reworked layout using icons for showing the status of list entries
+ (directory, new recording, moving recording, cutting recording, dvd archiv
+ entry)
+* sorting by name or date, adjustable for each directory
+* ascending/descending sorting
+* extends VDR's '-r'-option commands with 'move' and 'rename'
+* extended recordings info menu, shows name, path, channel, size, lifetime and
