Delete Button for Actual Finished Files

Post by z3r0 »

A button on each downloading or downloaded item to delete physical files that have been downloaded and completed. NOT the history item, the files themselves. This would be used for when a user has downloaded something, and no longer has use for it, or it has been transported elsewhere since then, and is ready to be deleted.

Ideally there would be a button to delete both line item + data, data only, or line item only, similar to utorrent's torrent+data, data only, etc.

It could be a drop down box, but I think there's space on the bars to make a set of nice looking buttons in plush to handle this.

We are looking at asking what to do with the files when deleting an active job.
There will not be such an option in the history. There are better tools to remove files from your disk.

not when sabnzbd is being used only as a web interface. It would prevent users having to physically log into the box to delete content once they had gleaned it from the machine.

If you can access the data you've downloaded then deleting it should be just as easy. Why do you need to do that through SABnzbd?

well i'm letting multiple (10+) people use it and i don't want to give them all shell access to the machine. they pick up the files off through linuxdcpp, an adcs hub client on lan, which is inherently read only.
