I've one question about this sentence: "Plugin %s wakes up in %ld min, continue?"
If I'm pressing 'OK' here, does it continue the shutdown or running the VDR?
I don't like it either, but didn't come up with a good other idea for this. For consistency it should be "Plugin %s wakes up in %ld minutes, restart anyway?", but thats way too long to fit into the status bar. The alternative would be to drop the plugin name again.
My vote goes to dropping the plugin name as it doesn't provide (imho) any valuable information for the user. Do we really need to know that a femon or relay plugin is about to wakeup in ten minutes, when we are restarting the VDR? I'd say: no.
Well, then the name of the plugin should be written to the log, for troubleshooting. Or is it necessary to say "Plugin %s wakes up"? Would it be enough to say "%s wakes up"? I'd guess that many plugin names are shorter than the translation of "Plugin" in many languages. Hmm, many languages don't seem to translate the word "Plugin", but the Estonian and Finnish translations are among the longest ones.
