Yes but, if I have deleted a recording, presumably I am not interested
in seeing the rest of it. Shouldn't the default action be (as it was
pre-0.23) that the recording process stops and the tuner it was using
is freed? If I want, for some reason, the behavior that 0.23 has
introduced, I can always manually move the recording in progress into
the Deleted group.
When I saw the new behavior in 0.23, I first thought that surely
functionality had also been added so that the scheduler would--if it
needed a tuner and a deleted recording was using it--automatically
grab it, but that is not the case.
