Mytharhive fails to clean up video list selected to burn from previous version

Mytharchive Problem: 0.21.0-ubunto2~gutsy1

Short Explanation: Apparently no option to delete files selected for burning left over from previous version of MythTV. The previous version had the user select Recordings/Vidoes? or Files for burning to DVD. The files appeared on a list with checkboxes to include in the current archive. When attempting to use mytharchive for the first time on 0.21.0 gutsy, I had 57 files in the list to burn to DVD and no way to delete them. (no check boxes to select/deselect).

My solution exit and choose Native archive. I aborted the archive after all 57 files were processed with info.xml files. List was clean for both Create DVD and Create Native Archive.

Detail: When I went to create a DVD I had a list of 57 videos ready to burn and could not delete any of them. This was a carry over from the old Myth Archive list. In the previous version , you would select Optical Disks, Archive Files, Create DVD, then have two options, ~>Find Files to Archive or Archive Video Files. You would select Find Files and then chose from one or more of: Find Recordings, Find Video Files, Find Files. I would then go to Find Recordings and use a check box to include all that I wanted or might want to archive(this is the list that gets carried over to the new Myth). You then had to back out of the menu(clunky part) to here~> Archive Video Files. At the next screen you could check or uncheck the ones you wanted to burn and proceed.

PROBLEM: The new Myth Archive does not use check boxes here and you can't delete the files selected. I did not select them, they were already there from my selection on the old system.

I then selected Create Native Archive. It lets you archive any number of recordings. It went through all 57 items, created a directory and info.xml for each. I aborted the actual archiving. Then went back to check the logs. It reported some errors re: not finding files (long since deleted) and success with others.

I went back to Create DVD and the files were all gone. I went to Create Native Archive and they were all gone.

The new Myth should include an option to cleanup from the the previous version unless this is just a gutsy backport problem.

Withdraw this one. The section/deselection boxes are via ADD RECORDING button.

Withdraw this one. The section/deselection boxes are via ADD RECORDING button.

You can also remove individual items from the list by pressing 'MENU' them 'Remove Item' on the second page of the create DVD wizard.
