[AMC]Deleting unrecognized files

[pseudoheld]

Ok so i have AMC running and its working great but today I ran into a little issue...
I downloaded an instructional video (nowhere on imdb or tmdb) but AMC picked up on something in the name.
Now this instructional was 4CDs however AMC then proceded to move just ONE file to the sorted folder and delete all the others. they aint even in the Trashcan. Just completely gone...
Thinking about it i guess this was due to me having conflic set to override and not skip. so it kept renaming the same movie file and overriding the old one thus deleting permenantly.

Now the only solution I can think of is that i have AMC only act on files that are .rars because all my tv shows come as rars and most movies aswell just every now and again i download something like i mentioned above and this normally doesn't come in a .rar
Is there any way i can tell FileBot to only act on .rar files??

You can add your own ignore rules, or use labels to make amc ignore files for certain calls.

When using the amc script it is highly discouraged to use --action move in generally, and especially with --conflict override and -non-strict for obvious reasons. I recommend using --action copy (on Windows) or --action duplicate (if hardlinks are an option, always use hardlinks if possible).

but when not using action move i get the extracted files staying behind and clogging up my HDD. or am i wrong in thinking that?
i thought action copy would then first of all extract the rar. place the extracted file inside the folder with the rars and then copy it to its final destination. thus i would have the file three times (once in the rars, once in the rar folder and once in the final folder)

ok never mind that part just figured out thats what clean=y is for!

how would i ignore anything that isn't a rar? like an inverted ignore i dont want to have to list EVERY filetype that isn't a rar.

1. You should be seeding your files anyway, so you can't help but have the file twice, at the very least you can't move/delete them.

1.1. On Unix this problem can easily be solved with symlink or hardlink. On Windows copy might be the best solution, even if you waste some space. You definitely wanna look into the hardlink and symlink options (in that order) first and see if it works for you.

2. If enabled, the amc script will delete newly extracted files after they've been copied or linked to their new destination. Since you need to seed the compressed content as well as keep the uncompressed data hardlinks/symlinks won't work for this case.

hi (just fyi im using windows)
figured out the part with copying and that clean removes the "temporary" extracted file.
im fine with two copies (one rar for seeding and one unpacked which is sorted)
