An interesting issue I came across, and can reproduce, but don't like reproducing...

If a file is currently being processed (checked, extracting, etc...) and you delete the file, EVERYTHING fails, including the current files you are downloading all fail to save to the temporary download folder, any files being extracted after the file you just deleted fails to extract, and if you re-add any nzb files to re-download it fails as well. The only way to recover is to clear your queue, all your download history, clear any orphaned jobs, and then go to your temp folder and clear that as well. In theory, deleting an active task should just stop that task, clear its files and continue on, instead it breaks everything.

How do you delete files? Do you mean you delete a job from the queue or history?

Hit the trash can beside the file being extracted.

Sorry, is that using the Window Explorer or is that in the user interface of SABnzbd?
It is not possible (or should not be) to remove the job currently being extracted.

Maybe I'm slow in understanding, but what you describe sounds serious.
Please clarify.

In Glitter you can..

That's an error.
I will plug that hole in the API, after checking what exactly happens.

Wouldn't it be nice if you can? That it would cancel/kill the par2 or unrar and delete all the leftovers? Especially when something brakes..

Later release, lots of impact and tricky platform dependencies.

Yep, thats exactly whats happening in Glitter, you can click the trash bin and it breaks things in a bad way
