So it's a bug, eh? I am glad it's not just me.
You have your choice- you can wait for a while (does seem like 10 sec or something) and it will put you back where you were. OR you can press the left arrow and you will get kicked back up a level.I have observed the same. Usually it does not kick back to the parent folder. When it happens to me I usually wait for 5-20 seconds and the list repopulates.
I don't believe I ever remember it being on the S2... unless it was introduced to it after I left that platform. Of course, my memory isn't that great anyway.I'm not sure but didn't the S2 also suffer from this classic well documented easily reproduced bug?
Are you trying to be facetious?Give TiVo a break. They have a mere 514 employees. You can't expect them to find time to fix bugs while still taking care of all their other responsibilities, can you?
While *I* somewhat agree with you, this specific issue (which is DIFFERENT of course from the absolutely 100% bug of it WRONGLY saying the group is no longer needed) is a reasonable accommodation to make things "simple" for tech-phobic people. They don't understand these are not like folders on a computer, they're virtual collections. (That is, that's why it warns you something like "This item will be deleted from all groups.")Hey Tivo, I know that the group is no longer needed, I just deleted all the shows in it. Just take me back to the NPL!
Actually, on Linux/Unix systems, directories (or "folders", if you like) are also "virtual" collections. Directories just provide a name and a reference to an identifier ("inode") for the file. Multiple directories can have links with different names to the same file, and none are more "real" than any other. "Removing" a file on Unix just removes the link in a particular directory, and the file system will only actually delete the file if there are no more links to it. This is a different from the delete operation on a TiVo, which removes the file from all folders.They don't understand these are not like folders on a computer, they're virtual collections.

It's hard to tell anymore.Are you trying to be facetious?
Yes I was trying to be facetious. Perhaps I should have appended an emoticon.Are you trying to be facetious?
No, UNIX directories are NOT virtual. Your explanation (which I already know) is COMPLETELY different from what Tivo shows you -- which is VIRTUAL groups, which do not exist on disk..Actually, on Linux/Unix systems, directories (or "folders", if you like) are also "virtual" collections.

Well, I added into the changelog. Hopefully they are monitoring it....I hope you call Tivo and explain the bug to them.. (they really should have an online bug reporting system)
