Rename Recordings

[pitbull2]

I saw a few posts on this subject but none recently so I will ask again: Is there ANY chance that the Hopper will ever allow the user to rename recordings (like my old 722 receiver)? I keep some sports on my DVR and I used to rename them with the date in the name for easy sorting. Without the option to rename, the recordings are all over the place in the grid layout.

I alphabetize mine, that's the way I keep up with what I have recorded. Might think about that.

ANY chance?

I'd say two chances: Slim and None.

Sigh.

Only thing I would suggest is make a folder called Sports then put your sports stuff in there. Then it should allow you to sort by date or name. At least it gets them out of the layout where all your other recordings are. Not ideal like you want but an option as I really doubt they will allow the rename in the future.

That would be very nice but at this point we'd only be taking educated guesses..... heavy sigh.......

It's simple, renaming is mostly meaningless with icons. That's why it went away with Hoppers.

Tron 2012's suggestion does most of what pitbull2 wants.

Yep, without a list view, renaming is meaningless.

Why not just sort the grid by recording date?

Because sometimes I record a replay of the events and the recoding date is not always the date that the event took place.

The folder suggestion is good but I keep my sporting events (among other things) on an external hard drive and, as far as I know, it is still not possible to have folders on an external hard drive.

EHD folders are definitely not an option (at least not yet).
