I noticed today that when deleting the last recorded TV show in my folder, it offered to delete the empty folder.  I think this should be added as an exception so that it doesn't do that.  Why would someone want to delete that folder?

Perhaps MC recreates the directory if it doesn't exist? In which case it wouldn't matter if the directory was deleted.

If MC doesn't recreate the directory when the next TV recording starts, perhaps it should, as that may be a better solution than adding in and maintaining an exception, particularly as nearly every user would have a different location for TV recordings.

it's just annoying...and while every user does have a different location, it is a saved setting, so the application should have that info available.

Correct but MC would have to check the value in options every time it deletes files and leaves an empty folder.

Whereas if it just recreated the folder it is already trying to save a file to that location, so the location is already primed in memory. Recreating the directory is a common approach to this type of problem, and seems to always be very quick, so that the user never notices.

Either method works. Recreation may require less programming. . . Or you could just say "No" when asked. 

PS: All software has these little annoyances, I find. Best to just work with them.
