If it takes 5-10 seconds to calculate the free space then I would like to trigger this manually only when I really, really need to know the free space - mostly before starting a long recording. In normal use (when the unit is not connected or no recording is planned) the free space information doesn't have much use. If the jukebox starts accessing the HD for several seconds when you enter the "info" menu this might scare users. Now if I understand it the fast free space information is often wrong, at least, when the jukebox has been connected to a windows PC. In that case you might want to remove the free space info from the info screen completely and give it it's own menu when you have a start button that says "calculate free space now". BTW, the information I get in the "debug" menu (CVS 030612) is also incorrect and the same as in the info screen.
