Request - delete image from input after processing #285

Closed jasonmadigan closed 4 years ago

jasonmadigan commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I've noticed some bad slowdown (20s+) in processing when my aiinput folder grows large (~1000 files). To combat, I've adjusted BlueIris to purge images older than an hour in the input folder, but even that can still see the input folder grow large.

Describe the solution you'd like It'd be nice if there could be a trigger processing option to delete images from the input folder after processing. Obviously, the annotated images could remain for push notifications etc., but they're stored on a different volume anyway.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

I've toyed with doing this but don't think the tool should be in the business of managing the purging of images it didn't create. It does auto-purge annotated images, but that's because it made them.

I suggest doing exactly what you've done (which is how I run): since BlueIris created the images, BlueIris can delete the images. Mine is set to 1GB/1 hr retention.
