And note that
a) file size /is/ available in the program details screen (hit U while
on the recording in Watch Recordings or Delete Recordings)--just like in
0.21-fixes. However, you have to go to page 2 of the details.
b) the Delete Recordings screen has no capabilities that the Watch
Recordings screen lacks--they're completely identical, so anything that
can go in Delete Recordings can go in Watch Recordings. This is why the
redundant screen was removed.
And before you say, "But it's just one more screen for the
completely-overworked themers to theme and would allow me to only show
<random info> some of the time," make sure you create a /complete/
MythUI theme. And, perhaps the people who feel that the Delete
Recordings screen should be resurrected should do exactly the same.
Once they do, the "just one more screen," takes on a whole different
meaning. :)

(I have not done a complete MythUI theme, but I've watched others do so
and understand the investment of time required to do so.)
