Hi
It has always annoyed me, that long titles have been a problem in DialogMenu.xml
These are currently "labels" and this means that you cannot make the dialog too narrow, or you will cut off text. This is especially a problem in Recorded TV, since the dialog displays the full title of the recording.
My suggestion is simple, just change the two controls with ID's 4 and 5 to fadelabels.
Unfortunately this means that the skin-file will have to change as well, or you will get an exception in MediaPortal and the dialog will not show.
Please consider this for 1.1.0 RC1.
I have attached the simple patch, created against 1.1.0 Alpha, but this file hasn't had any modifications since January, so any version after that will actually do.
I think this dialog is the only one that outputs really long strings, all the others are strings defined in the language-file, therefore I think they can stay the same.
