-thumbs.jpg not deleted

[sub]

This is the most recent example from a recorded show. Is there a way to not have these created by changing a setting?

You can untick thumbnails on the Settings->Artwork screen.

Thank you for the reply! However I do not have that option checked. The files are still being created. Posters, backdrops, banner, landscape, and logo are checked. I think thumbnails was checked but I have it unchecked now.

I found some non empty folders of deleted recordings containing -thumbs.jpg file.
Ex: Murdoch Mysteries_20151209_14001500-thumbs.jpg

3.6.6 Win7 x64

Sub: Does the next version have a fix so that these filename-thumbs.jpg files can/will be automatically deleted when a recording is deleted (and then allow the folders to be "empty" and delete after all recordings are deleted)?

Bump for sub.

I've fixed this for the next release.

Thanks, sub!

To have this fixed, do we need to add "-thumbs.jpg" to the list of extensions in the <DeleteAdditionalExtensions> section of config.xml?

Answering my own question: yes, adding "-thumbs.jpg" to the list now gets those files deleted (and allows the folder to be deleted when the last recording is deleted).

I just noticed the other day that top level recordings folders would not be deleted after all of the episodes for that show had been deleted. I found files ending in .ccyes and .xml were being left behind, so the folder couldn't be deleted. I don't know what creates them, but I added those extensions to be automagically deleted also.

Examples:
Two and a Half Men_20161004_11001130.ccyes
Two and a Half Men_20161004_11001130.xml

Two and a Half Men_20161004_11001130.ccyes

That's not one that NextPVR creates.

Two and a Half Men_20161004_11001130.xml

This may be one that NextPVR creates (if you're recording to a network drive, or FAT32 drive). This extension is already included with the default install though, so most people should already have those being deleted.
