Nice feature. I assume only in SVN, as I haven't noticed it in .20. I'll
look into it further now though.
I've also considered a nice addition would be a delete after x days.
I find after watching a show I like to keep it around a few days in case I
want to check back on something. After a few days I don't care anymore and
delete it.

I have one of the remote's coloured buttons (hauppauge) setup to toggle time
stretch.
Press it, and then use right/left to increase/decrease the stretch.
You might wish to look into that.
