Auto-remove .part files on torrent removal

Post by anville »

A nice little feature I would like to see, and should be easy to implement, would be if the ".part" files could get auto-deleted when the torrent is removed from the app.

Thanks!

I'm not sure I'm understanding this correctly but isn't that what you get when you select 'remove data file' instead of 'remove from list' ? :D

ulvund: not quite. When I "remove data file", the all the files that were downloaded get deleted.

My use case is that sometimes I don't download all files in the torrent. Some files that I don't want get partially downloaded, just because of the the torrent protocol works. With the current 1.8 version, it now creates files with the ".part" extension to indicate that those file aren't complete. Once I delete the torrent, I want to keep my desired data, but remove the .part files.
