Hello, Could you reformat and reword your Feature request a bit so that I can understand it, and easily include it in the projects list for voting. It needs (IMO) the following things:
1. Eliminate the sarcasim, complaints, and the use of "I", and stick to the problem and solutions. If you really want to add sarcasm and complaints, that is OK, but please do so in the email but outside of the Feature Request proper. 2. Format it roughly along the lines of current items in the project file (i.e. with proper indenting and non-wrapped lines). 3. I am not sure that I have ever said that Label Formats are depreciated. What is clear is that variable expansion in Label Formats is depreciated and will be removed in the next version after 1.40. Python scripting is currently used by a number of people and is documented. Please rewrite your request appropriately. 4. Please be more specific: you refer to "this part" several times, and I really am not sure what you are referring to. 5. Normally Bacula will not relable Volumes without an explicit request to do so. As a consequence, you will need to add some "feature", perhaps a Volume flag that permits doing so automatically.
