Confused about the definition of Orphaned Jobs

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)?

Regards,

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.
