My setup.

Download folder -> disk R: (ramdrive)
Unrar folder -> disk P:

Problem: When Unraring it dosen't delete the directory on disk R: (download folder) (I have to clean it manually, very frustrating)
Solution: delete everything about the download from download folder after a sucessfull unraring.


Problem2: When files not Rared they will stay in Download folder and not moved to unrared folder, I have 2 places to look for my files, and cos I use a ramdrive its not that good thing to happend.
Solution: add option to put all downloaded files in unrared folder.

Personally I think it's abit confusing for users. A download folder should be a place where all files land even if they are unrared or not.
Solution add a directory named newsbin processing, where all unrar,rebuild,pars,unraring,,,,, happends and then move files completed into the download folder.


Problem3: The function filters don't show what they really do.
Solution: Edit option (use notepad) to see filters and able to edit them.


Problem4: Options / Filename Options a Advanced button is showing, it's teasing me I want to see what's there
Solution: Hide

Have you set the Post Unrar filter under Options->Autopar options. If set correctly this would get rid of unwanted files. Having a simple "delete everything" after unrar sounds incredibly dangerous - what if there are other rar sets at the same location which would be the case for those who do not put rar sets into their own folder. However I guess it might be possible to delete any non-rar files that have been compacted into the same entry in the Download list?

An option that might give the user some control is to have a "Move" variant of the Post Unrar filter to specify files that should be moved after an unrar.

This is what already happens unless you over-ride the default behavior by specifying a different location for the results of an unrar.

Not sure what problem you are talking about here?

Also, I do not see where Notepad comes into play as Filters are held in a database file.

This is currently a cosmetic issue. However I agree it should either do something or not be shown.

Make all files from post X get into directory X unrar assemble fix,,,, then delete that directory.

Yes for saving the lifespan of my harddrives it's a good thing to keep processing at one drive and store the files at another location. (I even use a ramdrive to max download speeds, and processing the files)

I like to know what files that will be deleted and have the possiblilty to setup my own filters. I would simly setup filters in normal text files so users can edit them for ther own needs.

You can setup your own filters now. I'm not clear what a text file will get you. I think you need to explain how it would work better.

my fault, diden't saw you hade filters outside options/options.

Eyes first thing you get blind on

Can you please make that filter events don't show up as critical events and pop up that critical window.

(happends when I set my own filter rule to delete all files named sample)

What filter are you using? Filename reject filters? I have filename reject for NFO files for example and when they fail, I don't get a popup error. What's the actual error message?

Under Rar ArchivesI use File name reject

rules:

[.]sfv
sample

[23:20:02] ERROR - HFC: Rejected RAR Filter: Filename Filter movie1-disc1-sample.avi
[23:20:07] ERROR - HFC: Rejected RAR Filter: Filename Filter movie1-disc1-cd1.sfv

Ok, it won't pop up in a future version. Probably not RC2 because it's about to go to the forum but, the next one after that.
