Well I have been asking about it for a while (2014-06-02), so yeah it's been there ..for a while. I am a tidy person :-). My wife hates it but it keeps order...

I consider this a niggle, considering how perfectly our system runs.... thanks Sub.

If you can remind me in a few days time, I'll check it out. (busy with day job stuff right now)

A wee reminder as requested, cheers sub.

Bumpety bump :-)

I just took a look at this, and it behaved correctly. It deleted the folder.jpg / movie.nfo files, and the directory.

Looking at your logs, it looks like it did delete these files too (at least on the recording I saw you deleting)

Is it only some recordings that don't delete these files? It'll only delete these folder.jpg/movie.nfo files if they're the only files in the directory that are stopping it being deleted. ie, if there is another random file in that directory, then it wont delete these files. If you can't see another file, maybe there is some hidden windows file in the directory (like the old thumbs.db etc)?

Right had occasion to do another archive recently; same behaviour? It left .nfo and .jpg (and only those two) behind?

Does it only "leave these behind" when archiving (vs. deleting) the last recording in a folder?

In this case and indeed in most cases I only had the one recording in the folder.
