Hi,

I was wondering if there's a possibility for a script (windows) to purge items of a category from the history (or purge the entire history).

Thanx to anyone who can come up with such a script.

No, it's not the porn  , altough it could serve it's purpose for that 
It's more that I'd like to have an overview of the movies that were downloaded because of their size.
That way I know if I can watch a movie or if I have to redownload it.
Software is a bit less time dependant, so I'm not worried if it isn't complete when I think about using it.

sorry to bring this old thread up,

BUT this is exactly what I want!
Preferably the history should be disabled completely. and no trace back (in cache files or whatsoever) of what files have been downloaded

lol
Care to let us know why you'd need that?
Are you worried about privacy or is it about security?
Privacy, you get a "delete all".
Don't know if pressing it you will leave traces in log files, etc.
If it's about security, authorities won't convict you based on history / logs from your PC.
They'll use ISP logs which is the only thing that will incriminate you, if that's the case.
Cheers

I'm a privacy fan. That's it.

Sorry for doing a topic vamp, but I've created a script that does exactly that. It is written in PHP and uses a bash script to call to PHP script. There is a delay of 1 minute between the post-processing and the actual deleting of the post because SABnzbd doesn't allow deleting of the post while still in post-processing. It has been written and tested for a Linux enviroment, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out the same command for windows. Of course I can't guarantee anything, but it does a pretty sweet job on my machine

There is a config part in the .sh file.

SH SCRIPT
PHP SCRIPT

EDIT:
Mikie asked me to write a Windows version of this script, so here you go! You can use the same PHP script as the link posted above.

BAT SCRIPT

and before anyone asks: the SH script should work for OS X, BSD, Solaris and other *NIX variants, but I can't guarantee and I'm not going to install a new OS.
