<pre>Peter thanks
I can’t think of a way around Some Updates don’t need backend stopped.
mythtv-setup gives you the option so if eg I was busy recording I could
update number of virtual channels without breaking the recording
Also eg in QT you CAN’T push a greyed button but here it stoped the
‘unsaved’ messages.
If you were able to harness that then the desperate push could unleash a
dialog explaining rather than cluttering your display with a message
that users need to see once then they always understand.
In QT I would RENDER the button greyed. Pushing it would unleash the
dialog, and render the button normal.
Pushing again would save and all hell may break loose, but you were
warned. (Without the dialog, but with warning is what mythtv-setup does)
(Actually I would render in say yellow, usually you never push a greyed
button)
I’n neither asking for, or sugesting that you do, mearly floating ideas
for you.
I’m using webfrontend everyday now and it is ’nice’ and ‘easy’.
Thankyou. I cannot contemplate not being able to use a mouse. But as a
greybeard aspects of the UI that are obvious elude me. My Problem not
yours.
EG I asked my grandson how you set the program guide time he said by
"clicking this". I had tried drop-downs and editing the text field
(which is cumbersom) but not “clicking this” which you explained to me.

<p>I am looking for an easy way to solve the problem of people not
realizing that they cannot save unless they click "Enable
Updates". There are 30 save buttons in setup and adding a message
box and logic to each is more work and more risk of screw-ups.
Adding the extra message on the screen is easy.</p>
Options for making setup changes without backend restart:
<p>If you enable updates while a recording is in progress it will
not stop the recording, but other recordings will not start. Note
that next to the "enable updates" button it displays the details
of the next recording, or one in progress, to help you decide.<br>
</p>
<p>- You could enable updates, make the changes, then remember to
restart after the recording is finished.</p>
<p>- You could enable updates, make the changes, then run a command
that will enable recordings again without a restart (potentially
dangerous):</p>
