[mythtv-users] When is a problem a bug and when is it a feature request?

I probably shouldn't write this while I'm angry, but oh well...

I was trying to archive off some videos to save hard drive space of
some stuff I will probably not watch anytime soon. The problem is that
there is over 30 episodes and when trying to archive 3-4 videos at a
time to DVD I can't tell which episode is which because the list in
mytharchive only shows the title, not the subtitle or season/episode
number. The plot info seemed to come over so I figured it was a bug so
I did my civic duty and entered a bug into trac[1] which was quickly
and summarily closed as a feature request.

In the literal sense (you can't have a bug in something that has not
been implemented yet) I understand, but still, it seems like a glaring
over site.

So I guess my purpose in writing to the list is to see if anyone is
interested in fixing this? I would but I can barely program a bash
script, much less something like this.

Thanks,
Richard
