Environment Info:
SABnzbd 0.4.0RC2
Ubuntu Linux 8.04 Hardy Heron
Default Skin
Issue: When you remove an item from the queue it does not remove any temporary data that might have already been downloaded in the Temporary Download Folder.
Impact: The user may not be aware of this and may start accumulating unneeded data and unnecessarily consuming hard drive space.
Proposed Solution: Because some may consider this a feature, or may not want to change the current behavior, I would propose a user-based decision.
Idea 1: Maybe when the user hits the delete button, a prompt should ask them if they would also like to remove the partial data in the Temporary directory. This has the benefit of allowing the user to keep some data if so desired, while removing other data. The potential downside is that some users may find the prompt to be annoying.
Idea 2: A configuration option where the user can choose a global Delete/Don't Delete preference, which is then applied when the deletion is issued. This has the drawback of not allowing the user to easily save some data if so desired.
