Can I get rid of the info window?

[jbuszkie]

I've finally started to use SAGE 2 (RC3) and I have some questions that probably already might be answered... I thought about puting them in seperate posts but hopefully all my questions will get answered. Some of these come from my wife who just started using 2 today.

(in no particular order)

Most of these ask if there is a way to go back to the old style of 1.4?
As in...
1. My wife likes to be able to see the sage recording and the live tv guide on the same screen. She doesn't like to have to go throught the menus to get one or the other. Is there a variable to do this?

2. Can we get rid of the info window all together and make the guide take up the whole screen like in Sage 1. Most of the time I don't need to see the info. Hitting the info button could then put it into the mode it is now.

3. In the sage recordings, can we list how many items are in a folder on the folder line. Not in the info line.

4. How do I delete from the video directory? There is stuff listed there that doesn't exist on the computer anymore. I can't seem to get sage to realize it's gone.

I like all the changes that have happened since the first beta came out! Good job on that listening to all the feedback!

Thanks for the help,

Jim

1) I think SageGuide has been eliminated, however there are descrete commands to each location. You could, for example, map the Guide and Recordings to different buttons so you could jump to them directly w/o going to the menu.

2) Not that I'm aware of (you are talking about the top 1/3 of the screen correct).

3) Don't think so (kind of related to 2))

FWIW, these should all be possible with Studio, you might want to look at mlbdude and/or malore's STVs as they might be more to your liking.

4) Try the Refresh Library button in Video Library and DVD. It worked for me.

stanger89, did I miss something? These STV's are available where??

Go to the new "SageTV Customizations" forum... or just use the "View New Posts" link at the top of the main forum & never worry about which new forum has new posts.

I figured I could just assign a button. I'm not sure if the wife will like that or not...

Yes.. I want to use the top 1/3 of the screen for more guide.

Bummer

I guess I'll have to wait for Studio. I'll try the other STV's...

That didn't work for me. Maybe in the release version it will???

I read some where about deleting the import directory and re-adding it. I'll try that.. If not I'll be back here for more help...
