The RECORDING_LIST_CHANGE event is dispatched after the file is removed now,
so if it takes 10 seconds to delete the file, it will take a little more
than 10 seconds for the display to show it's been removed. This is actually
showing you when it's removed from the database now, rather than the old
way of removing all info from the database whether the file could be removed
or not (or whether the file even existed or not).
Anyone have any input about Kevin's suggestion of changing the color of the
item on-screen? Or are there any other ideas to show the user that the
recording is being deleted? I didn't want to remove it from the screen,
only to have it pop back up if it couldn't be deleted, but I also find it
annoying to have to wait for the recording to be deleted. That's why I've
made changes to the delete code in the past to move more things into the
delete thread rather than requiring the frontend to wait on them.
