Please fix disable autoUnRAR.

Postby TopCatDk » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:18 am

First an apology if this sounds a bit rough or rude, English is not my native language and I know I sometimes end up sounding a lot angrier than I really am.

First of all I’m using the x64 version of 6.30rc1 on a Win7 system, Newsbin generally runs very well, but this have bugged me since V6, and since I’ve just upgraded from V6.21 it’s become even worse.

I have AutoPAR enabled (love that feature), but I want to do the UnRAR myself as I use that process to sort the things I’m downloading, so I have simply not ticked the option. The result of that is the latest versions of Newsbin starts doing retries, it should not do that, previous versions (6.21) would simply say something like unrar disabled or download complete. Obviously you could argue that it’s no big deal, but it suggest the computer spends some of it’s time going back and checking to see if it can now do what’s I’ve asked it not to do…

Of course one option I would really love (and I think I’ve asked for it when I first switched to V6) would be auto remove complete filesets from dl list.

Thank you for the continued development of this great tool.

The other versions did this too but, they simply didn't report it on the display. It's mainly a cosmetic change to show that something is still going on. I'll think about it. I think it's too late to change for 6.3 though.

I also very much would like completed downloads to be removed when par has repaired the rar-files.

There's an option for it in 6.4.

Is it possible to have Newsbin download any needed PAR files, repair the set (but not do any UnRAR), remove the files (RAR & PAR) from the download list and finally delete the PAR files (but not the RAR files)?

I'm not really keen on the idea of deleting just the pars. I can think about it but, it's not high on the list.
