Separate extracted meta files and package directory #33

Closed mbirth closed 7 years ago

mbirth commented 7 years ago

Currently, all meta files extracted from packages (INFO, icons, thumbnails/screenshots) are going to the same directory where the packages reside.

It's probably better to have those extracted/redundant files in a separate directory, e.g. cache. So if problems arise, one can just delete all files in that cache directory and they're going to get extracted from the Synology packages again on the next run.

This also makes the packages directory more tidy / gives a better overview over packages on offer.

(This probably also means there should be some cleanup when there are files in cache for a package no longer existing in packages. Or we leave that to the user, to occasionally tidy up everything.)

👍 totally agreed ! User is responsible for cleaning the cache once in a while, or setup a cronjob.
