AMC script: clean isn't fully cleaning?

Hi there,
Am calling the amc script on a folder action, with the "clean=y" option. It's cleaning, but it's only cleaning everything
except the root folder of the input. Is that normal?
So like if /Downloads gets this:
Code: Select all
Movie Title (2016)
Movie Poster.jpg
Info.txt
Movie Title.mkv
The amc runs, moves the video file, trashes the jpg and the txt, but then leaves the "Movie Title (2016)" folder where it was. Can I tweak it to also get rid of that? Or do I need to script an additional step to take care of that?
Thanks!

The amc script will not delete folders/files that are passed on the command-line.
i.e. this command will NOT delete the current folder:
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:amc . --def clean=y
PS: If you're calling the amc script on individual movie folders then your workflow might be a bit odd / inefficient.

Hmm. I'm using
this Automator setup, so the individual movie folders are getting passed as the Folder Action service notices them. Guess I need to do the passed-folder deletion in a second separate step then. Thanks for clarifying!

Yeah, if just the folder is passed then the amc script won't allow you to delete the root folder.
Instead using clean=y you could make a separate call to the cleaner script which allows you to delete the root by passing in root=y I think.

Gotcha. Since I'm already using Automator to build the folder action, ended up just using a "Move Finder items to Trash" on the root after the FileBot script runs.
