EyeTV guide and episode lists (Recordings/Guide search results)

[rbgray 0]

Cramming everything into the hardware/software wishlist thread is is going to get awkward, I think, so how about individual topics for areas of hardware/software function?  This one is about EyeTV's display and handling of lists of recordings, guide search results and show detail.

1) Please add additional columns to episode lists in Recordings, guide searches, etc.  I'm working through Big Bang Theory reruns.  The program is on twice weekdays and also on weekends.  Usually each time slot is doing its own "episode stream", each stepping through a different season.   This gets chaotic.   If a sortable "Season/Episode" column were available on lists, it would be much easier to watch recordings in order, without having to constantly click to get Show Detail then click back for each episode.  Similarly, when looking at guide search results or schedules, it would be possible to see what seasons/episodes are coming without having to be constantly popping into and out of Show Detail.   There may be other columns that would be quite useful,  but I would (figuratively!) kill  to have season/episode added.

2) Along the lines of #1, make it possible to get rid of the Preview thumbnail and have Title on a single line so that listings are as compact as possible.   Perhaps there should be options for the two line Title, Show Tile and Episode Title columns.  Preview too.

3) When Show Detail is displayed, it completely replaces the Guide or list in the right pane, so one has to keep clicking in and back out if one is trying to get the details on a series of shows.   How about an option for three pane display?  When one selects Show Detail, the two pane display becomes a three pane display with the detail in the right pane.  This would be similar to Finder's column view.  If one moves around the list or guide, the detail pane would update. 

4) When in Show Detail, when up or down arrow are hit, move to the next or previous list/guide item instead of changing channels!
