Is it possible to purge the incomplete download folder when the queue empties? I don't see a flag/switch for this, so I wonder if anybody has come up with a plugin/hook that will allow this?

The only option now is to write your own end-of-queue script that clears the incomplete folder.

wow, been a while since I posted this.

That's fine, but I can't find any information on end-of-queue hooks. I've looked through the config options and I don't find any entry that will trigger a script when the queue finishes/is empty, can somebody point me to the relevant documentation please.

First you put the script in SABnzbd's scripting folder.
Then you can select the script in the pull down menu at the top right of the queue.

urgh, so obvious.. I was looking through the config

The UI isn't a champion of consistency
The idea behind this particular choice was that you do this once.
BTW: the setting will not be permanent, unless you enable the option Config->Special->queue_complete_pers

yes, I discovered that in my searching yesterday, I'd seen that option somewhere and spent the better part of 30 minutes searching for it again, thanks for telling me where to find it
