Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @Budlyte on GitHub (Sep 17, 2021).
Anyone using this with remote mounted storage will likely get frustrated if they start up their machine and the remote mount doesn't come up, then the scanner can't find the files so it removes the book from the library and then pairs it as something new once reconnected.
Please add an option to turn off the Automatically Empty Trash on scan in the Settings.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Sep 17, 2021):
Good point. Instead of automatically removing items it should flag them as having missing files, similar to other media platforms.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2021):
This update warrants a bit of an explanation.
As of
v1.1.12it functions like this:@Budlyte commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2021):
Awesome. I'll test it later by moving a directory or something. I know this kind of thing drove me nuts and almost made me quit Ubooquity back when I used it and also ran a NAS.
How is the trash emptied now? Is there a button to force it and clear some memory?
Also, what file should I copy to backup the db? Or I'll just backup the whole container once/week maybe.
@Budlyte commented on GitHub (Sep 22, 2021):
Alright, so to test I'm moving an author to a temp folder. Everything in the system is hardlinks, so the ID shouldn't be changing, correct? Either I'm mistaken or the system doesn't preserve listening progress through the missing and rediscovery.
Marked it read
Move it out, Scan, and get the 1 missing
Move it back, file system still shows it hasn't been modified in over a year
Next scan shows everything is there.
Reading status is reset though.

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Sep 24, 2021):
I just tested this and the audio progress for me is not changed. Something strange is happening with the inode values your OS is assigning.
I think if we can get to the bottom of that, then we can solve this issue and the other one for you.

On the topic of backups:
I've been thinking on this. Now that covers will start to be stored locally, a system for backups becomes more important. I'm not sure how other media servers are handling this yet, so I'm going to look into that.
In the meantime you can do a full backup of the database by copying this directory
user/appdata/audiobookshelf/config/, that directory will have 3 folders foraudioooks,settings, andusers.@Budlyte commented on GitHub (Sep 24, 2021):
Yeah, something's going on. Maybe it's permissions, I don't know yet, but I'm not terribly worried about it since my system is all local storage. I just know that others use NASs, running stuff on RPis and whatnot, and if things are trashed whenever a reboot occurs it can be a huge pain.
For backups, I just did the Plugin: CA Backup / Restore Appdata on Unraid. It's making a weekly backup of select containers into my array. Plenty of space in there, especially for <50GB of containers.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Sep 25, 2021):
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Are you using the original files for your audiobooks, or are you using symlinks?
@Budlyte commented on GitHub (Sep 25, 2021):
I'm using the actual files.
Which part was confusing though? Maybe I can clarify that portion.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Sep 26, 2021):
What do you mean by
my system is all local storage?Also,
I just know that others use NASs, because aren't you also using a NAS since you are running Unraid?@Budlyte commented on GitHub (Sep 26, 2021):
Hmm, I forgot NASs these days can run docker and things, but the support is usually questionable.
I used to run a windows server, to host my programs, with my TBs of data stored in a Synology NAS. These days it's all in one physical machine running Unraid, with my HDDs connected to the same motherboard as the OS running the programs accessing them, so I don't consider it a NAS.
@Budlyte commented on GitHub (Sep 26, 2021):
I'm gonna close this, since it looks like the progress tracking is a "me" issue and everything else has been added.
Great job, as always!
