Confused about the definition of Orphaned Jobs

Post by Effenberg0x0 »

What characteristics define a job as "orphaned" so that it goes to the job list at "Status/Queue repair"? A have more of these than I count and check one-by-one.

I mean, did they fail to download, were duplicates of other stuff already upper in the queue so not downloaded, downloaded but failed to par2 r or to unrar,  were downloaded, verified and decompressed OK but were left unprocessed any further at the download folder, etc?

If I use the "Queue Repair" button will it attempt to check and fix this (see if they should go back to the queue, if they are duplicates, etc)?

An orphan is a folder in the "incomplete" folder that is not in the queue or the history.
Release 0.5.6 never cleaned up jobs deleted from the queue.
Generally: don't use repair if you don't need to.
It's better to re-add or remove individual jobs.
