Hi,

I haven't used 0.25 beta yet, but browsing through the release notes ( 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_0.25 ) I am disappointed to 
read about one change, namely that videos (not recorded TV) will only be 
deletable from the Video Manager view. See 
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/de7acc4

I always use the List view when viewing videos, and having to move to 
the Video Manager view will be annoying for me. My videos don't have 
good metadata, so the List view is much easier for me to find my videos 
rather than using the flat Video Manager view. As I use List view to 
navigate to and watch the video, I find it very useful to be able to 
delete from there too.

I remember older versions (I'm not sure which version numbers) had 
videos only deletable from the Manager view, and so I was happy when a 
few versions ago the ability to delete from List View was added. It 
seems a shame to revert back to this very old behaviour.

What do other users think?

Cheers,

John
