File Deletion Concerns

by ZarkBit on 2016/08/06 05:13:40 AM    
Some thoughts regarding the current torrent+file deletion state, as of right now I have noticed that Tixati deletes everything related to the torrent in question, and if this torrent starts as a folder and that folder is shared by 2 torrents, tixati just ignores it and deletes everything:

Folder1:---- DaText v1.zip (torrent 1)
      └---- DaText v2.zip (torrent 2)

Using the example above, when deleting torrent 1, torrent 2 files will also be deleted, now, some people may think this is what Tixati should do, and in some cases it makes sense.

MovieFolder ----- movie.mkv (torrent 1)
           └---- subs (created by subs downloader)

e.g. movies when they leave that nasty subs folder behind (created by some subtitle downloader), while in other cases, the one I presented, it's a huge bummer.

So, what should be the best approach to this? Delete all, while getting rid of the crumbs? Delete only the files related to the torrent and leave the crumbs behind? Add the possibility of choosing what to delete?

Any thoughts on this are welcome.

never used shared folder for two torrents, but i think, warninng like "this folder is also used by torrent zzz", would be nice

and adding to that, "file location" column would be useful

about second example - subtitles folder should be leaved in place untouched
