Bug/not clear: Rename 'keep old parity data' to 'keep unused and backup parity data' #6

Closed brenthuisman closed 4 years ago

brenthuisman commented 4 years ago

Currently, this option does two things:

  1. Look for 'orphaned' .par* files (i.e. the file it protects appears to be missing). What's a good description for this? Tending towards orphaned.
  2. Look for backups that par2 creates when you fix a file (it save the corrupted file as $file.1)

That is not clear now. It can be two separate settings. For the second (keep file backups), I should remove backups (*.1 files) from this option, make a separate setting and create a separate action category for them in case the user wants to save some but not all.
