Hi!
Thanks for a wonderful little program!
Im using Filebot on my synology with couchpotato and showrss
I download into /download/Series
And /download/Movies
and run 2 diffrent filebot scripts as cronjobs one for movies and one for series ..
But to skip extra disk writes with --action move
I changed into --action keeplink
Thing is that means everything stays in the download folder and clean doesnt remove the old files .. is there a way to make clean do a rm -r of the old dir? Or even just break the link?
Removal of links after keeplink
Re: Removal of links after keeplink

Why would --action move cause disk writes?
2.
--action keeplink causes at least as many disk writes because "keeplink" is actually "move" followed by "symlink" so you gain absolutely nothing if you want to minimize disk writes.

Re: Removal of links after keeplink
So the move just do a hardlink and removes the old files? Ill go back to move then.. but i had problems with some directories not being removed due to dir names spaces and not standard symbols in the name..

FileBot asks the operating system to do a "move" operation and if the source and destination path are on the same filesystem then the physical data won't be touched. If you're "moving" between filesystems then it'll have to copy the physical data and then delete the original file.
When creating hardlinks, the physical data is never touched. Hence, you can't create hardlinks to physical data residing on different filesystems.

Only the logs can tell us why something may or may not have happened. "standard symbols in the name" is most likely not the reason though.i had problems with some directories not being removed due to dir names spaces and not standard symbols in the name.
