SABNzb4 Beta1 Not deleting all .par files FOUND CAUSE

Post by buzzword »

Ok, I reported this in Alpha but thought it had gone away, turns out it's still an issue Beta 1 but I now know the cause.

This issue is that after unpacking and moving, in the video's folder there are .par files (along with the video.)

The cause is the post-processing switch setting "Download all par2 files".
If this is turned on
- All par2 file get downloaded
- If NO repair is required, all is well, all pars get deleted and only the video is in the folder after unpack and move.
- If a repair is required, only the .par2 files that were required for the repair get deleted, .par2 files that were not used by the repair process do not get deleted and after the unpacking process end up getting moved along with the video.

Seems like something that should be easy to fix.
