extended clean-misc for other common files about unrarall HOT 5 CLOSED

We could do the clean-misc option for thumds/ds_store, unsure about the downloader dump, what kind of garbage do you usually get? What is the .srr/.srs file? But sure, we could delete those.

For the sample, I've been thinking about doing it, but I'm unsure of a sure way of deleting them, sometimes its $sfilename-sample* or sometimes in a Samples/ dir. samples.sfv I've never seen, sample(s) comes from the same rar archive/chain so I don't see why you'd need a seperate sfv file?

Ideas are always welcome, thanks for those already :) If you have some time to code them I'd be more than happy to merge those!

I have an idea for this. What we could do is introduce a family of functions whose job it is to do some part of the clean up... e.g.

function unrarall-clean-rars()
function unrarall-clean-nfo()
function unrarall-clean-sfv()
function unrarall-clean-sample()
function unrarall-clean-osx-garbage()
function unrarall-clean-windows-garbage()

and then on the command line the user can pick which ones to use.

unrarall --clean=rars,nfo

Hopefully this would keep things clean as we add more and more things we want deleted after extraction.

and there could be two special options --clean=none and --clean=all

These functions could also include their own help to explain what they do. The author of one of these functions could assume that the first argument is "clean" or "help" so it knows what to do and the second argument passed could be the full path to the current working directory.

Or is this over complicating things?

Over complicating? Impossible in bashland ;-)

That sounds quite good, lets give it a go with the current features so we can implement the other stuff easily if wanted/needed.

I've created a branch with the basic ideas in place but that has not been tested. Please take a look.

This is now being dealt with in the "Introduced clean-up hooks" issue ( #6 )
