You're welcome. But you're still missing it!

However, I have many "Until Space Needed" programs that hang around for than 2 days.


Yes, of course they do. After two days are up they turn into "!" recordings, they are expired, they are finished, they can be deleted without warning at any time. If you have disc space they aren't deleted exactly 48 hours after the broadcast BUT THE EXPIRY TIME IS STILL 48 HOURS AFTER THE BROADCAST.

Sorry if that looks as if I am shouting, that is because I am.

You can do a "save until" on them to change the expiry time, but this thread is about the fact that we want to change that default expiry time from 2 days to something longer, so that we don't have to do a "save until" on every single recording. (Gambling that it won't be deleted when it has expired and is "!" is too risky - the only way to be sure is to get rid of all the "!"'s).

Any other examples of the so-called "2-day default?"


Look. It is NOT "so-called", it is real. Hope you're not any more.
