So far, I can see more regressions than improvements on new EyeTV 4 interface
TV guide:
EyeTV 3 had a beautiful feature when scrolling the guide horizontally: the title of each show remains visible, even if the beginning is passed. Now you just can see an empty rectangle; and you can't know what program it is until you scroll back to the left.
Editor:
The color of a selected clip can hardly be distinguished from the others, with such a little change of color (lightblue vs dark blue)
Why did you remove the white triangles attached to the markers and to the vertical bar? Was is to much visible and understandable ?
Good luck to edit a recording on a sunny afternoon !
The funniest part here is : the vertical bar still reacts as if the triangle was there, you only can move it by clicking above the blue bar, just where the triangle previously showed the bar's location. Clicking in the middle of the blue bar , the way you would do with any scrollbar, has no effect.
Now , when I want to reduce a clip length to zero, I can't. There's always a small part (~2 mm) of the blue bar , so I can't see if the clip length is zero or 10 seconds.
OK, I found that I can now remove one particular clip using the delete key, which is an improvement. I can now decide what to remove.
But the drawbak is, apparently, that before compacting the recording, I have to manually remove each unwanted clip.
Recordings Window:
No columns anymore ? Sorting by date or size was so easy with EyeTV 3 ...
Now the information are mixed with the description, so if I want to compare the duration or size of a few recordings, I need to read the descriptions one by one and find the location of the size and duration attributes, each time different.
Changing the sorting order involves a local menu and 3 clicks (drop menu, select attribute, select direction), when EyeTV 3 could do the same with only one click or 2 on the columns title.
Really, after 30 years testing every application I could find on the Macintosh, I'm used to change my habits and to adapt to new versions, but I can't see what this one gives me as improvements.
