Do you use "Quick Favorites" feature?

I might think of removing/replacing the feature if there aren't many people using it . What are your opinions?

I don't use it, because it doesn't support a folder tree and changing the satellite is also not easy.

What do you mean by "replacing the feature"?

My suggestions for quick favorites and satellite changing:

I also think it's unnecessary and overloads the GUI.

Thank you rel.

I'd vote for improving the quick favorites, perhaps you could combine the standard favorites with the quick favorites - and improve the satellite changing system / 'bar'.

15 vs 1
looks like nobody uses it , thought it was going to be a very handy feature when first implemented :)

might be removed or go on the way Dreamer said , in v1.5.

I think the other (perhaps the most important) problem is (are) the icons - they are not clear/intuitive enough, small - and also the custom icons are missing. Perhaps more main favorite categories would help - each might have its own icon. These icons could be used in the favorites bar (former quick favorites bar) and also in the main channel list - as a column "favorite" instead of text - there might be two options "favorites (text)" and "favorites (icons)" - and perhaps also "favorites (text and icons)".

I have another idea:

Use two drop down menus - for "satellite" and "favorite":

[19E Astra [v] ] . [Music [v] ]

There should be also the items "all" in bothe menus, of course.

I really think something similar might be very useful, but most important is to use a single Favorite system. Just one example...

Drag&drop - select the channel(s), drag to "music" icon in the favorites bar to add/move the channel(s) to category "music".
