Request [Client Guide]: Enhanced renumbering function about epg123

[lars18th]

Hi @garyan2 ,

I the release 1.7.0.11 it's added the RADIO symbol. It's very useful. Thank you!

And regarding this and the renumbering function, I want to request too if you can include a "group renumbering". That's the idea:

• I select a group of channels (for example, all radios), and I use the "group renumbering" to set them from one starting number. Futhermore, if some collision is detected, then the channels are automatically renumbered from the last free number.

What you think?

Sorry, it has been a while since you requested this, but I've been debating it. The thought process was I felt it was too much a risk to bulk renumber since everything will be based on the sort order and limited filtering. I think it would place too much responsibility on the user to know what they were doing and didn't want to get blamed if things didn't turn out how they wanted.

I have since changed/mitigated that. I have added more filter options (TV, radio, encrypted, unencrypted) to help the user renumber exactly what they want. The bulk renumbering is still based on the sort order of the list, but being able to reduce the list to exactly what the user wants to renumber, I think, was required. Also, the user can select specific channels to renumber and not just all. When selecting 'Renumber' from the menu items, the top-most channel will be the starting point. If the user enters '1000', then the first channel will be 1000 and the rest of the channels will be 1001, 1002, etc. If the user enters '100.1', then the first will be 100.1 and the rest will be 100.2, 100.3, etc. This also means that if the user enters nothing, all selected channels will have the custom number removed.

I'm not going to put in any duplicate number checks or "swap" feature. Don't see a need.

Next release.

With the official release of 1.7.1.0 containing the ability to bulk renumber and expanded filtering options, I am closing this issue.
