Unrar cleanup options - minor tweak

In the section, 'Unrar to a different folder', add a tick box "Move NFO file to the above folder'.

The cleanup options already include deleting archives, md5s, sfvs and the empty folder after successful unraring. However the folder usually won't be empty because of the NFO file.

Alternatively, add the tick box 'Delete *.nfo' after successful unraring' above the 'Delete empty folder...' option.

Not everyone wants to keep the downloaded NFOs anyway, and we can always view the NFOs in BinSearch and Newzleech at any time using alt.binz's  built-in NFO viewer.:)

I fully agree. After a download completes, I always have to manually check whether there is something left in the download folder. Then I have to decide whether to delete or to move those remaining files. And finally I have to delete the empty folder. Since everything else is cleaned up so nicely, it would be great to have ABZ fully clean up automatically.

My specific suggestion would be either to add an option "move any remaining files to unrar folder" in the unrar setup. Or, as a more customizable option, let every user specify the types of files he wants to have either deleted or moved to the unrar folder. The types of files that come to my mind are *.txt, *.nfo, and *.jpg. This could be implemented by having a list of the mentioned files (plus the already included *.sfv, *.md5) with three radio buttons next to each file type: i) no action, ii) delete, iii) move to unrar folder.

and the option to apply a different unrar folder to multiple downloads at once, e.g. movies to movies-, games to games-folder. you get what I mean?
