Cleanup DELETES FILES

Post by FreePuppy » Tue Nov 07, 2017 4:59 pm

One day all items on desktop vanished and no idea what happened to them.
Today, on an abandoned download in the QUEUE I decided to select (I'm trying to recall exactly as I'm never going there again) the option CLEAN UP AND REMOVE ALL RELATED FILES. As soon as that happened the few items on desktop accumulated from the last strange disappearance were wiped and vanished before my very eyes! The folder selected for downloads lies elsewhere on the hard drive and remain intact. I can only assume I had the abandoned download referenced to the desktop and the earlier disappearance of files from desktop can be attributed to an earlier CLEAN UP AND REMOVE ALL RELATED FILES though I can't recall doing it. (Sometimes you do something in passing and don't remember since it's of minor magnitude out of many things done during the day.) So beware of the CLEAN UP.... thinggy. It stung me and I got to watch it happed.

Although you are working with a beta version that most likely isn't perfect yet, this may not happen.
I've made a high priority issue for this.

In the meantime, make sure to download into a separate folder instead of a system folder.
This way it can't go wrong with your other files.

BTW. What is the Usenetic version that you are using? Is it the latest beta?

Thanks.

I can confirm that the new release, v0.93 (build 1329) prevents such thing to happen.
v0.93 will be released within two weeks.

Until that time make sure to download into a separate folder instead of a system folder.
