Anthirian, please consider adding an option to monitor deleted files. Or at least a "dump" file of deleted items. It would be really helpful...
Thanks again

Hello,
first of all congratulations for this excellent addon.
I found a bug.If in the movie folder there are two different files (for example xxx.CD1.avi and xxx.CD2.avi) xbmc file cleaner only delete the first one,not both files.
Thanks.

I am wanting to setup File Cleaner and I have been looking at the settings. Basically I would like to to clean up my TV shows. But, I have one directory with shows that I have ripped from DVDs and I don't want anything from in there touched. I would like to to clean up watched TV shows after 7 days, but skip one particular folder. I can't find a way to configure that and I am concerned it will delete all my hard work. Suggestions??

First and foremost, if you are not sure what will get deleted, always use a temporary folder.
At the moment, there is no way of excluding certain folders from being cleaned. This is the next feature I will implement, but I am crazy busy at the moment, so it might take a while before it actually gets done.

Thanks for the feedback. I found a problem with smb paths myself which I will fix soon, so it's not yet ready to be merged into master yet.
The reason I chose three paths is because Trakt uses three as well, and you could just group your shows accordingly. For example a folder containing the shows to keep and another that you allow to be cleaned. Maybe I could increase it to 5, but not much more. It adds a lot of overhead that isn't really necessary.

I have fixed the issue with smb paths, and hopefully this also works for the other types of network paths such as afp, upnp and nfs. I am not able to test this though, so I'd love to get some feedback before I merge the branch and update the repo version.

With the exclusions option, can I exclude an entire smb server? I have a bunch of shares on machine "//mcp" that I do not want deleted (//mcp/movies, //mcp/tvshows, //mcp/videos, //mcp/music. //mcp/recorded tv). I have a single share on "//HTPC" that I do want deleted (//htpc/recorded tv).
So is it possible to setup the exclusion just on "//mcp" ?
One idea would be an alternate approach: Inclusions. Choose up to 3 folders that you do want included in the deletions, and ignore everything else, and allow the user to have both options, or choose one or the other if having both is too complex.

At the moment this is not yet supported, mainly because I strip the protocol, user, password and server from all network paths before matching with excluded paths. I can (hopefully) easily change this to not strip the server, which lets you select the top level folder, ie. smb://mcp.
To change all code to (or add) inclusions seems unnecessary once the server is no longer stripped from the path.

I have implemented the exclusion of entire servers. They seem to be working allright, at least for me. Could you try it yourself and provide me with some feedback please?
